Kestrel Armor

The Kestrel armor system is a complete set of armor pieces in Mass Effect 2. It was made available as downloadable content on July 6th 2010 as part of the Aegis Pack, which also included the M-29 Incisor sniper rifle.

Pieces
The Kestral armor system is a complete suit of armor, however it is made available in pieces so it can be mixed and matched with other N7 Armor parts.

Kestrel Helmet
The Kestrel Helmet is the armor's Head piece.

The Kestrel armor system's helmet forgoes traditional transparent visors in favor of a reinforced faceplate with an internal heads-up display. The display connects to redundant microcameras to allow naturalistic vision, and the helmet's weapon autotargeting and shield software provides a substantial boost to performance.

Increases head shot damage by 5% Increases weapon damage by 3% Increases shields by 3%

Kestrel Torso Sheath
The Kestrel Torso Sheath is the armor's Chest piece.

The Kestrel armor system's spinal-mount processor synchronizes artificial torso muscle fibres with limb movements, allowing power to be generated by the legs, channeled through the core, and projected out through the arms. Stabilization of the firing platform assists in autotargeting, and waist-mounted capacitors add to the power of kinetic barriers.

Increases melee damage by 10% Increases weapon damage by 5% Increases shield strength by 3%

Kestrel Shoulder Pieces
The Kestrel Shoulder Pieces are the armor's Shoulder pieces.

The Kestrel armor system's shoulder plates house backup capacitors for shield generation. Artificial muscle fibres based on spider silk reinforce the shoulders, allowing for more powerful movements.

Increases shields by 8% Increases melee damage by 10%

Kestrel Arm Sheathing
The Kestrel Arm Sheathing is the armor's Arms piece.

Artificial muscle fibres controlled by the Kestrel armor system's central processor allow for both gross motor movements and precision support of the hands. This steadies aim in a manner compatible with most firearm autotargeting systems. Additional capacitors for shield generation are installed on the ulnar side of the forearm.

Increases weapon damage by 3% Increases shields by 3% Increases melee damage by 10%

Kestrel Power Pack
The Kestrel Power Pack is the armor's Legs piece.

The Kestrel armor system's hip-mounted power pack provides emergency energy for kinetic barriers and heavy weapons.

Increases shields by 8% Increases spare heavy weapon ammo by 5%
