Armor Upgrades

Armor Upgrades are specifically designed to enhance the effectiveness of armor.

Stimulant Pack
Armor equipped with stim packs releases targeted shots of adrenaline to speed up recovery and recharge times.

Armor Plating
Hardened ceramic plates can be applied to body armor suits, increasing their effectiveness.

Ablative Coating
Ablative coating is designed to chip away when impacted, redirecting the energy of incoming projectiles away from the body.

Energized Plating
A prototype upgrade designed specifically for heavy combat use, it provides maximum protection for the user

Hardened Weave
A complex filament network of element zero microcores combined with advanced firewall technology provides protection against both biotic and tech attacks.

First Aid Interface
Microprocessors wired into a combat suit can monitor vital functions and release small, localized doses of medi-gel to accelerate the healing process.

Medical Interface
Specialized microprocessors wired into a combat suit monitor vital functions and release small, localized doses of medi-gel to accelerate the healing process. This interface also provides resistance to toxic attacks.

Medical Exoskeleton
A prototype upgrade combining numerous advanced medical technologies to monitor and regulate all vital systems, maximizing healing and minimizing recovery times for the user.

Kinetic Buffer
Metabolic Enhancers monitor the wearer's vital systems and release genetically engineered stimulants to maximize combat prowess and athletic ability.

Kinetic Exoskeleton
This prototype armor upgrade combines multiple technologies to improve shield regeneration and maximize the wearer's physical abilities and athletic prowess.

Motorized Joints
Mechanical augmentation increases the brute strength of the wearer, allowing them to deliver powerful blows when rifle butting or pistol whipping opponents.

Exoskeleton
Mechanical augmentation increases the force of rifle butts and other melee attacks. The increased mass of the mechanized suit also provides protection against high physics weapons and biotic attacks such as Lift or Throw.

Combat Exoskeleton
This prototype armor upgrade combines mechanical augmentation, element zero microcores and firewall technology to give the wearer brute strength, resistance to weapons force and resistance to biotic and tech attacks.

Shock Absorbers
Installing micro-gravimetric emitters into a combat suit artificially increases mass, providing protection against concussive force delivered by explosives, high impact ammo and biotic attacks such as Lift or Throw.

Shield Battery
To generate kinetic barriers, combat suits rely on capacitors to store energy from a generator. The greater the capacitor storage, the more potent the barrier.

Shield Modulator
To generate kinetic barriers, combat suits rely on capacitors to store energy from a generator. The greater the capacitor storage, the more potent the barrier.

Shield Interface
Advanced VI systems monitor incoming enemy fire to redirect energy to vulnerable points, maximizing the effectiveness of a suit's kinetic barrier shields.

Shield Regenerator
A secondary power source increases the rate at which a combat suit's kinetic barrier capacitors can be replenished.

Energized Weave
A complex filament network of element zero microcores combined with advanced firewall technology provides protection against both biotic and tech attacks. Advanced models also optimize recharge times on kinetic barriers.

Toxic Seals
Specially-sealed body armor provides increased protection against radiation, gases, and a host of other toxins.

Cut Armor
The following armor upgrades were cut before release and can only be acquired through PC Cheats.

Pressurized Seals
Installation of pressure seals provides a hardsuit with additional level protection against Nuclear, Chemical and Biological (NCB) hazards.

Hazard Seals
Installation of Hazard Seals provides a hardsuit with additional protection against general enviromental hazards.
