Excellent for sharp melee weapons - while its {{DPS}} is lower than plasteel, it is close and it has significantly more {{AP}} and per attack damage. It is unclear if it this leads to a win for bioferrite on melee stats alone. Combined with the psychic boosts however, and it becomes powerful in the hands of a [[psycast]]er.{{RoyaltyIcon}}

Bioferrite is likely better than [[eltex]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} for buffing psycasters, as bioferrite is much more reliably obtained both generally and at high qualities, the stacking is multiplicative with all other buffs except blindsight, as it is applied last, and unlike eltex, bioferrite can provide a respectable amount of armor.

Bioferrite is likely better than [[eltex]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} for buffing psycasters, as bioferrite is much more reliably obtained both generally and at high qualities, the stacking is multiplicative with other buffs, and unlike eltex, bioferrite can provide a respectable amount of armor.   
  
As the bonus from bioferrite is multiplicative, optimal equipment depends on psy sensitivity of the pawn. For a basic 100% sensitive pawn full eltex set plus bioferrite slave collar remain the best giving 363% psy sensitivity, compared to 238% granted by [[eltex shirt]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} bioferrite weapon, bioferrite [[slave collar]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, bioferrite helmet, and bioferrite [[plate armor]].

The exact math on the optimum set up has yet to be determined and likely depends on some assumptions, but [[eltex shirt]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} bioferrite weapon, bioferrite [[slave collar]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, bioferrite helmet, and bioferrite [[plate armor]] is a candidate for maximising buffs.  
 
 
But the more you boost psy sensitivity the better bioferrite gear becomes. With all boosts to psy sensitivity you can get(implant, serums, genes, deathrest, blindsight, traits, anomaly things) you can go as far as 2159% sensitivity (2079% without blindsight), compared to 1508% (1428% without blindsight) for eltex set + bioferrite collar.

As a building material, bioferrite is slightly below [[wood]] in value and more durable than [[steel]], while sitting between the two in flammability and being much slower to build with.
