Collector Chitin Armor

The Collector Chitin Armor is a non-customizable bonus armor in Mass Effect 2. In Mass Effect 3 it is simply known as Collector Armor.

Mass Effect 2

Collector Chitin Armor
Effects	+10% Regeneration Rate +10% Storm Speed +20% Health
Starting Health	240
Starting Shields	250
Availability	Collectors' Weapon and Armor Recon Operations Pack

Description

Cerberus adapted this suit for you out of salvaged Collector technology. The Collectors' chitinous armor is flexible and even tougher than ballistic fibers. Its organic construction allows it to be self-healing, and the muscle-like tissue that assists movement ensures it is comfortable to wear despite its weight.

+10% Regeneration Rate
+10% Storm Speed
+20% Health

Acquisition

The Collector Armor is available in the Collectors' Weapon and Armor and the Recon Operations Pack DLC packs.

In Mass Effect Legendary Edition it can be researched in the Normandy's Tech Lab at a cost of 10,000 Palladium.

Collector Rifle and Armor Shepard, Our researchers have been working with captured Collector technology for some time now. They've developed an experimental armor suit in your size and an assault rifle that the techs say should take a standard thermal clip. I had the items delivered to the Normandy's armory. Good hunting.

Player Notes

• While the health and regeneration bonuses are useful for Soldiers, Vanguards and Sentinels who find themselves taking a lot of damage, the lack of weapon damage bonuses for the former two and tech/biotic power damage for the latter two should be noted.

Description

The Collectors' chitinous armor is flexible and even tougher than ballistic fibers. Its organic construction allows it to be self-healing, and the muscle-like tissue that assists movement ensures it is comfortable to wear despite its weight. This suit was originally adapted out of salvaged Collector technology by Cerberus, and is incredibly difficult to find on the galactic market.

Acquisition

The Collector Armor can be purchased at Nos Astra Sporting Goods in the Presidium Commons for 50,000 credits without discounts, or through the Procurement terminals located in the Normandy's shuttle bay or Armax Arsenal Arena.

Player Notes

• The 20% boost in health and shields is good for Soldiers, Vanguards, and other classes that may find themselves in direct line of fire.
• This armor works great in combination with a defensive buff such as Barrier, Fortification, or the Sentinel's Tech Armor.
