Recon Armor

Recon Armor

A suit of light partially-powered armor, designed to permit quick movement. Lightweight plasteel-weave plates block attacks without compromising mobility, and neuro-memetic assistors in the lower body allow a human to wear the armor and still move easily. Armor like this is often used by imperial scout troops and glitterworld police forces.

Recon armor is a type of advanced apparel (armor) that can effectively block gunshots, cuts, blunt trauma, or burns.

It provides better protection, especially against blunt, and can block heat damage. It also covers the limbs in addition to the torso.

However, it is somewhat expensive, needs a long time to make and also needs the Recon Armor research before being available.

It forms a full set of armor along with the Recon helmet.

Comparison

Recon armor is a step up from the flak vest. It provides better protection than the vest, and covers more of the body. However, it is much more expensive to make or buy.
It occupies both the overgarments, middle, and shell layers, while armor vests only occupy the middle layer - meaning it can't be worn with tribalwear.

Its light weight makes it more suitable for regular use compared to the marine armor.
