Armoury & Riot Gear

[Chike101]

Here's a thing most people probably don't realize: the EOD suits also grant a huge defense against projectiles, substantially better than the regular chest armor. It's about on par with industrial armor and the syndicate command armor now.

Get some willing assistant to do some projectile damage testing with you, toss 'em in some armor and shoot them and check 'em with a health analyzer.

EOD suits are super robust. In one of Heiraphont's tribe gimmicks he runs, I had an EOD suit on, and some dude ran up to me with a spacker. He shot me twice. Both shots hit their mark. The other guy on watch with me chased him off with his riot shotgun, and while everyone was scrambling for the medical kit, I told them to chill. I wasn't out of green yet.

In summary, yes, EOD suits are super cool, really resilient, and highly under-used.
