Disambiguous This article is about a particular Cerberus Armor variant in Mass Effect series. For disambiguation, see Cerberus Armor. For armor in general, see Armor.

The Cerberus Nightmare Armor is a set of armor in Mass Effect 3, available by completing an Armax Combat Arena challenge in Mass Effect 3: Citadel. It increases shields, weapon damage, and ammo capacity.

Description

Nightmare armor is worn by Cerberus Phantoms expecting long-range conflicts. Powerful capacitors deliver punishing energy to the Phantom's weapons, and circulating coolant in its gloves allows for more shots before a given thermal clip overheats. The remaining energy focuses on shield strength and regeneration time to help survivability.

Acquisition

With Mass Effect 3: Citadel installed, achieve over 9,999 points in the Armax Combat Arena. The armor will be offered as a reward, along with the Cerberus Shade Armor and Cerberus Spirit Armor. Only one armor set can be chosen.

Player Notes

  • This armor is arguably the best Soldier/Infiltrator set in the game when initially available due to the Shield, Weapon Damage, Headshot Damage and Ammo boosts given.
  • The Ajax, Nightmare, Shade and Spirit provides more cumulative benefits than any other Armor sets. Their combined bonuses total 80%, while most full-body armors offer 60% bonuses, and individual armor pieces give a maximum of 55%.
  • The fastest way to get this armor is to set the Combat Difficulty on Narrative.

You still get the same amount of Score Points.
