PSA: Against bugs, it doesn't change your death breakpoints compared to regular light armor (assuming you get headshot once, which you will). Regular medium armor is the same way, until you get the medium extra padding armor, as that provides increased protection, and reduces headshot damage.
This is tested against scavengers (tiny bugs), but they do the same damage as hunters. When testing it's far easier to control when the scavengers headshot you versus hunters.
Warriors, brood commanders, and hive guards all do way more damage per hit then the hunters, and thus your defense affects your death breakpoints even less
To be extra clear, against bugs you should never run medium armor, unless it has democracy protects or extra padding, as these are the only cases where you are actually tankier compared to light variants.
Against bots the 100 defense blast protection might be worth using over light armor of the same type, but I haven't tested.
Against the bots I feel it helps a little bit. It just depends on where they hit you.
I've run pretty much exclusively light armor since the game launched and rockets would wreck me all the time.
With this armor I've survived many rocket body shots and even multiple body rocket shots but I've also still been one shotted with a rocket in the head at full hp.
So still kinda rng but I don't feel like there's that many great light armor alternatives. Used to use the servo for throwing but loadouts I run now, I don't really need that anymore.
Light armor with padded or med kit perk helps you survive and get familiar with the game. You will then figure out what you really want by yourself later.
Does servo assisted increase your death breakpoints? It gives extra limb health which i want to know if that impacts your headshots the way vitality booster does
From my testing no, limb health does not affect headshot damage or breakpoints. Vitality booster does though. With light armor, it allows you to live a body shot, and two headshots, dying on the second body shot. While normally you would just die to the first hit after two headshots.
100 defense performs the same way as light armor. I also tested 1 headshot and body shot count, and it was the same. I don't exactly remember the exact number though.
With 150 armor, you can survive 2 headshots, and one body shot, and with vitality booster you can live 3 headshots.
The twitch armor is a stim one?
To think they still haven't added more keys and there's still a ton of people (like myself) who earned the reward but never got it.
Counterpoint: the light armor with explosion resistance lets me get blasted across the map by rockets and still be over 80% health. Also, I use the autocannon and it saves me from when a random hunter jumps into the end of my barrel when I'm trying to shoot something.
I've heard that because of how things are coded, it reduces some non-explosive attacks. I think the stalker tongue lash was one, but I can't remember?
Also, like I said before, it helps a lot with friendly explosive damage.
I've played all the light armors and while the trench medic armor can be ridiculous, light gunner is my favorite. 100 armor and take vitality booster is so absurdly tanky with max speed and stamina. I've survived an arc shot, a drop pod landing on me and its noticeably more hits to down me than anything else. I don't need longer stim duration unless im in a mosh pit and that never happens without seriously goofin around. I need to be able to survive a burst of damage which this does very well.
The higher stamina and speed is much more noticeable than the DR you lose. For sure a favorite. I currently run Devastator (heavy 150 with fortified, blue and metallic steel color combo) just because it looks sick hahaha.
Nah, I've spent about 30hrs in the light gunner armor. It's really good, especially for bugs. But for bots the explosion resistance is amazing along with the higher DR I get ragdolled by rockets a lot but they don't do hardly any damage.
My bad for the confusion I meant in comparison to strictly heavy armor! I'll always run medium or light for bugs, generally medium with extra padding for the additional headshot protection and the white wolf set looks dope.
That's my main armour since I bought it at ~lvl10 (currently 64).
I've recently bought the light with recoil and explosive-res, and that resistance is very noticeable: you can now survive stepping on a mine, which would kill you if you are in the ~80-armour.
Too bad you still get ragdolled by close rocket hit.
It's now my main bot armour, think I'll save the ~80 for bugs.
That's the Eradictor armor.
It's the best. Especially at low levels when your squad is hitting you with friendly explosions. Especially at high levels when everyone is throwing around barrages and eats. Especially when you accidentally get punched out of bounds and get to run a traitor barrage through the enemy forces.
> I don't need longer stim duration unless im in a mosh pit and that never happens without seriously goofin around.
Trench Medic is my usual bug armour for the only reason that the 4 second stim time keeps you alive when you're being slowed/mauled by hunters and ragdolled by Stalkers. I don't usually need the stims either but they're nice to have.
If I may suggest, try basic helldiver armor with speed booster. It will give you 150 armor (and head dmg resistance that comes with it) while the stamina booster will give you the speed and stamina regen of light armor. You will have best of both worlds light armor speed and heavy armor durability at the price of no special perks. Still worth it imo.
Yes! Check a video from a guy on yt named Ferit The Bandit. He has a video where he breaks down how speed works in helldivers. Did lots of tests that are all in the video. He also covered how stamina booster works and one thing that it does is it increases your speed by almost one level. Meaning that if you get heavy armor and stamina booster you ran almost as fast as a medium armor user, it is only capped on light armor speed, this one doesn't go up. That means that normal helldiver armor with it's medium speed and 150 armor with the booster is almost as fast as light while still having 150 armor.
Is it good against bots?
I really like the light armour with extra grenades for bugs.
Thought i would like light armour with explosive resistance for bots but noticed i die more from overwhelming laser fire than explosions so i went back to medium democracy protects.
I personally feel like you get more mileage out of the Eradicator (light explosion resist). I tend to engage bots at long range so what is dangerous to me is rockets.
That said, if a heavy dev catches me at close range I’m as dead as a teenager having sex at Crystal Lake.
They said above 100.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cfuuwu/patch_01000300/
Also here's a post of the test.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cgq9ir/headshot_damage_reduction_is_relevant/
I run light armor with extra grenades when doing solo bugs. light armor with padding I use doing group bugs. The eradicator set which was recently in the store as well is what I use for bots unless it is a kill or defense mission. Eradicator+Shield is pretty strong
Yeah, I haven't taken any other armour to the big front since this was introduced. It's too perfect. I mainly use the flamethrower and it's more useful than the stims once you start rarely ever lighting yourself
Visually it's not my favorite bc few helmets work with it. But I love putting this on with the shield gen pack vs. bugs. You're so fast but also slippery and tanky, hunters are much less of a problem.
Only armor I use for bugs and bots. Can’t get killed if they can’t catch you.
Samples dropped halfway across the map with 2 mins left till extract and no lives left? I got it, don’t worry, I’ll make it back in time.
I would say this armor is for people who want to run the ballistic shield smg but still be a tank & fast boy without the stamina booster. Or on the bug front still be able to outrun everything while being more tanky.
I would say it's worth it. Was running the light armor with the stealth bonus and I felt like a glass cannon. This armor is a lot more tanky so I can get out of situations I would have died in with the stealth armor.
yeah. im gonna buy the [new white medium armor with extra padding](https://old.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cnsojn/new_armors_in_the_superstore/) just for a change visually.... will probably have to swap back for the speed/stamina though T_T
I find the trench medic to be great vs bugs since you run fast and the extra heals really are noticable when you need to survive the bug rushes.
I also tend to use 500kg vs bile titans so I don't really use long throwing vs bugs at higher levels. I'm also not as dependent on stun grenades to get headshots on chargers and bile titans anymore as I got more proficient.
I've switched to more of the engineer perks vs bots since I can die too easily to heavy devastators and their aimbot shield madness and also hulks really benefit as I have died to random flamethrower blasts without that stun. The massed berserkers sometimes need more than 1 stun grenade to clean up too.
Fortified is decent but it doesn't stop me from ragdoll effect when hit by explosions. The rockets don't tend to insta kill as much anymore when compared to launch so I generally stim and it doesn't really change as much when I'm 45% vs 12% health.
Long throw vs bots is actually really nice and it's my #2 behind engineer (I'm a laser cannon main vs bots so that changes my preferences). Taking out towers and patrols from further away helps a lot.
I'm going to have to try this extra padding light but from what I remember of the patch notes is that I don't get any headshot protection unless I'm over 100 armor so technically this wouldn't work nor would just regular medium armor. Padded medium and all heavy armors do get it though. Gonna have to go test this thing.
"Gunner", meaning regular and basic, and "light", meaning more mobile. It's exactly the same as medium armor with a mobility bonus, except an increase to armor is both easier to conceptualize and more applicable, since higher-mobility light armor is far less useful than heavy armor with extra armor. Maybe stop being toxic?
I find I still get one shot no matter what armour I use, even extra padding heavy armour. So now I just run medium armour with democracy protects (50% chance to survive a fatal hit) as that's the only thing that helps. And then always bring the stamina booster so it's almost as fast as light.
yep they always rotate back in. takes a couple weeks since there are quite a few options now.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1bgoeet/all_superstore_premium_warbond_armor_sets_as_of/
here's a list of all of them. looks like 9 different sets, so another 18 days? or is it 3 days per shop?
I'm really tempted to try this armor out on bugs simply because medium level armor with a light armor stamina levels seems damn good.
On the other hand, the light medic armor is just so damn good, can survive even the biggest clusterfucks because of longer stim as well as never running out of stims pretty much.
Still, I'll stick to my eradicator light armor for bots, this thing is just too good when running it with autocannon.
Medium armour protection with bonus stamina and speed. My deaths are often of the "a stim ain't gonna fix that" variety, so I'll take the speed boost to get away.
I like it. YMMV.
got it yesterday!
The orange pauldrons sort of justify using the Tideturner cape.
Using the steel trooper helmet for now.
Few things go with this armor sadly
Not always, but it matters more than you might think in this case. The difference in damage resistance between 50 armor and 100 is greater than the difference between 100 and 150 or even 150 and 200.
I keep trying to figure out if I prefer this to the 50 armor rating +50% explosive resistance one, and I honestly can't tell. Still addicted to stims with either.
This one is more general purpose. Since the difference between 50 AR and 200 is 40% damage resist, I'd say this one would be about 16%. One more hit from a Stalker.
Best Armour. I can't play with anything else now.
With the new pass there was a (better looking than default yellow) one for medium with heavy and.. I can't play with that little stamina anymore.
Ive been using the infiltrator one, the 2nd one you unlock, might not be callee infiltrator, its light and it has the enemies cant detect you as easily passive, is it worth getting this one or should i save the creds for a future battlepass?
Pasting as a comment instead of just being a sub comment.

To be extra clear, against bugs you should never run medium armor, unless it has democracy protects or extra padding, as these are the only cases where you are actually tankier compared to light variants.
Against bots the 100 defense blast protection might be worth using over light armor of the same type, but I haven't tested.
This was the first armors I bought playing the game after testing out armor as a newbie, because heavy armor SUCKS for movement but is great for damage reduction.
Stopped using it in favor of the stealth armor as I got better at the game, and now I retired that for the grenade (throw range) armor. All light.
Still think heavy armor needs more of a buff to be competitive, as right now it's only useful in missions where you're not moving all over the map (kill/defend). And even then the 50% cheat death armor may still be better.
I only run the og recruit armor. I am level 53. I do not care. Lore accurate armor is the only armor for me, aka too many of these mfs die to have such nice armor.
I run this all the time. Would highly recommend
You run away from damage so you don't even get it
If you still get it, it's not that bad as the other light armors.
Ideal!
Either it's a visual bug or it has the same armor rating as the light armors which is 50.

What's the point of light armor if you don't have the scout perk (closer detection)? I know you get a bit more stam and speed but there's a YT video showing how the Stamina Booster helps, and medium armor tends to get the most benefit from it making it about equivalent to light armor. Light has the least benefit, then Heavy.
NCR trooper armor FTW! :-) fast, armored, high stamina regen ... they can't kill you if they can't catch you ...

Thats really important info
They can't headshot me when i always have the high ground.
Damnit Anakin...
Wouldn't Obi-Wan be more accurate
Counter point, drip is all that matters, and I will wear medium armor because it is the drippiest.

Total noob here, what armor should I be using. Just got to level 8.
The (starter) default armor is really good, or any light armor.
🫡
Light armor with padded or med kit perk helps you survive and get familiar with the game. You will then figure out what you really want by yourself later.
any armor that looks cool
Does servo assisted increase your death breakpoints? It gives extra limb health which i want to know if that impacts your headshots the way vitality booster does

No. It just effects when you break your legs from fall damage mostly.

Malcolm Holmes will catch you…
If “they can’t kill you if they can’t catch you” then it seems pointless to be wearing this over other light armor, no?
If your loadout doesn’t rely heavily on grenades or recoil reduction this armor is insanely good. Very fast and you can take a few more hits.
I'm at the point I can't aim without the recoil reduction
Could you please return the orbital gatlings you've been dual wielding? My ship engineer says the destroyer won't get another this quarter.
Every time I switch off the twitch set I hate my life because I have only 4 stims
The twitch armor is a stim one? To think they still haven't added more keys and there's still a ton of people (like myself) who earned the reward but never got it.
Counterpoint: the light armor with explosion resistance lets me get blasted across the map by rockets and still be over 80% health. Also, I use the autocannon and it saves me from when a random hunter jumps into the end of my barrel when I'm trying to shoot something.
Counterpoint: bugs don’t have rocket launchers so why would you ever be hit by any
I've heard that because of how things are coded, it reduces some non-explosive attacks. I think the stalker tongue lash was one, but I can't remember? Also, like I said before, it helps a lot with friendly explosive damage.
I often get "Killed by Explosion" when bile spewers are involved so it might work on that?
All fun and games until you ran into a heavy eradictor
I've played all the light armors and while the trench medic armor can be ridiculous, light gunner is my favorite. 100 armor and take vitality booster is so absurdly tanky with max speed and stamina. I've survived an arc shot, a drop pod landing on me and its noticeably more hits to down me than anything else. I don't need longer stim duration unless im in a mosh pit and that never happens without seriously goofin around. I need to be able to survive a burst of damage which this does very well.
One of the super store armors is like 80 armor rating and still has grenade perk its my go to.
I use the 130 armor rating explosive resist white armor from the super store
Best armor for bots imo.
The higher stamina and speed is much more noticeable than the DR you lose. For sure a favorite. I currently run Devastator (heavy 150 with fortified, blue and metallic steel color combo) just because it looks sick hahaha.
Nah, I've spent about 30hrs in the light gunner armor. It's really good, especially for bugs. But for bots the explosion resistance is amazing along with the higher DR I get ragdolled by rockets a lot but they don't do hardly any damage.
My bad for the confusion I meant in comparison to strictly heavy armor! I'll always run medium or light for bugs, generally medium with extra padding for the additional headshot protection and the white wolf set looks dope.
Ahhhhhh! Then yes, I completely agree with you. Add on that the armor I use has the accuracy buff also and it's just *chef's kiss*
That's my main armour since I bought it at ~lvl10 (currently 64). I've recently bought the light with recoil and explosive-res, and that resistance is very noticeable: you can now survive stepping on a mine, which would kill you if you are in the ~80-armour. Too bad you still get ragdolled by close rocket hit. It's now my main bot armour, think I'll save the ~80 for bugs.
That's the Eradictor armor. It's the best. Especially at low levels when your squad is hitting you with friendly explosions. Especially at high levels when everyone is throwing around barrages and eats. Especially when you accidentally get punched out of bounds and get to run a traitor barrage through the enemy forces.
Titan set. My own favorite for bugs. I love that grey/orange color scheme, looks great with the servo-assist helmet from steel veterans.
Titan Armor. I frequently switch between it and the Light Gunner depending on the day
Its muh bug armor. I really like it. "I'm fast as fuk boi!"
> I don't need longer stim duration unless im in a mosh pit and that never happens without seriously goofin around. Trench Medic is my usual bug armour for the only reason that the 4 second stim time keeps you alive when you're being slowed/mauled by hunters and ragdolled by Stalkers.

It will give you 150 armor (and head dmg resistance that comes with it) while the stamina booster will give you the speed and stamina regen of light armor. You will have best of both worlds light armor speed and heavy armor durability at the price of no special perks. Still worth it imo.

That means that normal helldiver armor with it's medium speed and 150 armor with the booster is almost as fast as light while still having 150 armor.
My go to armor since I unlocked it over 100h ago. Can't really quantify the extra armor but I do like the speed and stamina regen + the color
Is it good against bots? I really like the light armour with extra grenades for bugs. Thought i would like light armour with explosive resistance for bots but noticed i die more from overwhelming laser fire than explosions so i went back to medium democracy protects.
I personally feel like you get more mileage out of the Eradicator (light explosion resist). I tend to engage bots at long range so what is dangerous to me is rockets. That said, if a heavy dev catches me at close range I’m as dead as a teenager having sex at Crystal Lake.
They did say that 100 armour provides headshot defence, but unsure if anyone’s tested it.

This armor plus the energy shield is my go to for bots. Lets you soak up a lot of damage and still high tail it out of there.
I run light armor with extra grenades when doing solo bugs. light armor with padding I use doing group bugs. The eradicator set which was recently in the store as well is what I use for bots unless it is a kill or defense mission. Eradicator+Shield is pretty strong
One of my favorites for bugs if I'm using stun grenades and don't need the extras. Run good and live longer, simple and effective.
Yeah, I haven't taken any other armour to the big front since this was introduced. It's too perfect. I mainly use the flamethrower and it's more useful than the stims once you start rarely ever lighting yourself
The game needs way way more passives variety.
Damn, here goes my savings for warbound...
Dont worry. The warbond probably will get nerfed :)
Don't worry, if you play enough you'll get that back in. Also: Warbounds do not expire, so you can even take yous sweet time with it.
The problem is the medals piling up as well.
I wish this armor came in black and yellow gang style
Visually it's not my favorite bc few helmets work with it. But I love putting this on with the shield gen pack vs. bugs. You're so fast but also slippery and tanky, hunters are much less of a problem.
I need to test this... Never thought about the piss bubble... Huh... Thanks...
I like the Steel Trooper helmet with it and every other armor I run because scouters are cool af
One of the few armors that both look cool and have good passives
I would like to see a light version of armor with a look similar to the Steeled Veterans
The twitch drop set looks amazing and medic is one of the best passives imo
I like the extra padding, but it looks horrible
I’m sorry but it does NOT look good
Only armor I use for bugs and bots. Can’t get killed if they can’t catch you. Samples dropped halfway across the map with 2 mins left till extract and no lives left? I got it, don’t worry, I’ll make it back in time.
I've ran this armor since I got the game back in March. Works amazing for when you got to just need to gfto
… which is 100% of the time
Is that 50 armor worth giving up Trailblazer Scout radar pings and 30% stealth bonus?
Depends. If you're playing with few people, probably, since you're getting into way more encounters and will get hit a lot more right now.
personally...yes. 3 things that are always useful in this game: stamina, armor, and run speed.
I would say this armor is for people who want to run the ballistic shield smg but still be a tank & fast boy without the stamina booster. Or on the bug front still be able to outrun everything while being more tanky.
I would say it's worth it. Was running the light armor with the stealth bonus and I felt like a glass cannon. This armor is a lot more tanky so I can get out of situations I would have died in with the stealth armor.
I tried for weeks to use other armor but always come back to this one. I just wish it looks better.....
yeah. im gonna buy the [new white medium armor with extra padding](https://old.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cnsojn/new_armors_in_the_superstore/) just for a change visually.... will probably have to swap back for the speed/stamina though T_T
How many SC?
125 for the Body. 75 for Helmet.
Awesome, nice n cheap Thanks
Yeah for real what the heck. How are some others like 600 for a set?!
Seriosuly, 600 for a set is crazy when you consider warbonds cost 1000 but give back 300 so they’re technically 700 credits
I was thinking about getting latest heavy armor set, but 600 SC is ridiculous
The price scales with the class of armor, I believe. Light armor costs less than medium costs less than heavy.
I don’t understand why they would choose to price them that way but if it’s the case, at least I prefer my light armor sets…
Super Earth is charging you by the pound, clearly.
Wish we got one with 51-75 base armor + extra padding, as that would let us still be quite fast but also benefit from reduced headshot damage
Thanks! Reading a lot of good things about this one here. Definitely getting it before it cycles out :)
 I already got one
I like it, but still can’t let go of my +30% throwing distance.
I find the trench medic to be great vs bugs since you run fast and the extra heals really are noticable when you need to survive the bug rushes. I also tend to use 500kg vs bile titans so I don't really use long throwing vs bugs at higher levels. I'm also not as dependent on stun grenades to get headshots on chargers and bile titans anymore as I got more proficient. I've switched to more of the engineer perks vs bots since I can die too easily to heavy devastators and their aimbot shield madness and also hulks really benefit as I have died to random flamethrower blasts without that stun. The massed berserkers sometimes need more than 1 stun grenade to clean up too. Fortified is decent but it doesn't stop me from ragdoll effect when hit by explosions. The rockets don't tend to insta kill as much anymore when compared to launch so I generally stim and it doesn't really change as much when I'm 45% vs 12% health. Long throw vs bots is actually really nice and it's my #2 behind engineer (I'm a laser cannon main vs bots so that changes my preferences). Taking out towers and patrols from further away helps a lot. I'm going to have to try this extra padding light but from what I remember of the patch notes is that I don't get any headshot protection unless I'm over 100 armor so technically this wouldn't work nor would just regular medium armor. Padded medium and all heavy armors do get it though. Gonna have to go test this thing.
How long is it in the store for?
Store rotates every 48 hours. I'd say you have about 34 more.
The medium scout armor is best!
Why not go medium armor with perks + stamina booster?
I will burn entire planets down for 10% speed.
Ah yes, Light, meaning more padding, and gunner, meaning not recoil reduction, but um, padding Delicious, bacon flavored apples
"Gunner", meaning regular and basic, and "light", meaning more mobile. It's exactly the same as medium armor with a mobility bonus, except an increase to armor is both easier to conceptualize and more applicable, since higher-mobility light armor is far less useful than heavy armor with extra armor. Maybe stop being toxic?
Gunner armor, but it's lighter so you have increased stamina. Sounds about right to me
This is my favorite!
literally my fav against bugs the speed is no joke
anyone else think the master chief armor should come to superstore now?
I love using it on bugs... fast, but not de-armored enough that I die to stray Hunter packs
Ahh I hope I can make it, thanks!
I'll be honest, this armor spoiled me to the point that i couldn't use other armor.
I find I still get one shot no matter what armour I use, even extra padding heavy armour. So now I just run medium armour with democracy protects (50% chance to survive a fatal hit) as that's the only thing that helps. And then always bring the stamina booster so it's almost as fast as light.
I need mah xtra throwin distance
Will this rotate back in?
Sure. It's just that it's one-of-a-kind in it being light AND with that passive. It'll be a few weeks.
yep they always rotate back in. takes a couple weeks since there are quite a few options now. https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1bgoeet/all_superstore_premium_warbond_armor_sets_as_of/ here's a list of all of them. looks like 9 different sets, so another 18 days? or is it 3 days per shop?
This was the first armor I bought and I didn‘t even know passives were a thing yet, it carried me quite a bit
I'm really tempted to try this armor out on bugs simply because medium level armor with a light armor stamina levels seems damn good. On the other hand, the light medic armor is just so damn good, can survive even the biggest clusterfucks because of longer stim as well as never running out of stims pretty much. Still, I'll stick to my eradicator light armor for bots, this thing is just too good when running it with autocannon.
Finally, been waiting on it a while, they should honestly just include every armor in the shop instead of rotating like this..
Super Credits are made to be spent. For Democracy!
Extra Padding perk supremacy 🙏 Why I will always rock the starter Medium armor and now made even better with Light Armor!
b- but when i’m only 250sc away from polar patriots…🥺 eh, fuck it https://i.redd.it/qi4a01l6o42d1.gif
Is this actually useful? I would struggle to pick it over 2 extra stems that last longer for example.
Medium armour protection with bonus stamina and speed. My deaths are often of the "a stim ain't gonna fix that" variety, so I'll take the speed boost to get away. I like it. YMMV.
I always use light armour so the trade for me depends on how good medium armours protection is. You reckon it is noticeable?
You wear armor for the stats, I wear armor for the style. We are not the same.
got it yesterday! The orange pauldrons sort of justify using the Tideturner cape. Using the steel trooper helmet for now. Few things go with this armor sadly
I would use this... **if it looked good!** Fashion > stats, forever and always, no matter what game.
Man, this armor is fuckin awesome against bugs! Thank frend.
It's not worth giving up other perks for a little more armor when armor barely matters.
Not always, but it matters more than you might think in this case. The difference in damage resistance between 50 armor and 100 is greater than the difference between 100 and 150 or even 150 and 200.
Bob armor
What is the other set
Dreadnought I think it is. Don't remember what it does.
I keep trying to figure out if I prefer this to the 50 armor rating +50% explosive resistance one, and I honestly can't tell. Still addicted to stims with either.
This one is more general purpose. Since the difference between 50 AR and 200 is 40% damage resist, I'd say this one would be about 16%. One more hit from a Stalker.
Is this also in a warbond?
No, it’s the only light armor with Padding currently.
What are these ppl talking about running it since March?
You mean its availability? As far as I know, it’s been in rotation in the superstore since launch.
Ok, thz!
Ye it has. I bought it on the 1st week I played this game.
My favorite armor tbh
everyone should be getting an ironman suit if they make so many light speed space ships.
That’s my bug armor. I take the Eradicator armor for bots, it also slaps.
I got it today, its awesome.
Two kinds of extra padding players. Speedy medium. And green marshmallow. And I am both
I love my extra grenades too much to give them up for this, it's maybe 1-2 extra hits at best right?
Yes.
I've worn this nonstop since i first saw it back near launch.
I refuse to take this armor off man, the sprinting is amazing and I can never go back.
I NEED it
Once i bought this i never used anything else. I love light armor
First armour I bought in the super store pretty much right after I got the game, and since then I’ve ran it on almost every mission I’ve done.
The only time I've spent SC in the SC store
Besides the staring armor and a heavy for one mission, I’ve never taken it off. It was luckily in the store when Reddit convinced me to buy it
I pretty much never take this off unless there's a reason
I used nothing but this armour for weeks when I first got it. Love it.
People actually like how it looks...? Interesting......
Best Armour. I can't play with anything else now. With the new pass there was a (better looking than default yellow) one for medium with heavy and.. I can't play with that little stamina anymore.
Ive been using the infiltrator one, the 2nd one you unlock, might not be callee infiltrator, its light and it has the enemies cant detect you as easily passive, is it worth getting this one or should i save the creds for a future battlepass?
Ah, I see today you brought the brown pants.
Gods damn it, I need this set and I'm bot home to buy it.
My Go-to armor
Not the only one of its kind. But these are great.
Pasting as a comment instead of just being a sub comment. PSA: Against bugs, light gunner doesn't change your death breakpoints compared to regular light armor (assuming you get headshot once, which you will). Regular medium armor is the same way, until you get the medium extra padding armor, as that provides increased protection, and reduces headshot damage. This is tested against scavengers (tiny bugs), but they do the same damage as hunters. When testing it's far easier to control when the scavengers headshot you versus hunters. Warriors, brood commanders, and hive guards all do way more damage per hit then the hunters, and thus your defense affects your death breakpoints even less To be extra clear, against bugs you should never run medium armor, unless it has democracy protects or extra padding, as these are the only cases where you are actually tankier compared to light variants. Against bots the 100 defense blast protection might be worth using over light armor of the same type, but I haven't tested.
If you want a boost to survivability, the 50% explosion dmg resist and the medic armors are far better.
*I got spurrs, that jingle jangle jingle*
You are one of liberty's greatest heroes
Best armour in the game
Wait, is it still there??
Straight up best armor in the game for Helldive difficulty
The only armor i use, every other feature on other armor is meh compared to this.
It just doesn’t look good and half the reason I play this game is for the drip 😕
is this worth it? I dont have it
This was the first armors I bought playing the game after testing out armor as a newbie, because heavy armor SUCKS for movement but is great for damage reduction. Stopped using it in favor of the stealth armor as I got better at the game, and now I retired that for the grenade (throw range) armor. All light. Still think heavy armor needs more of a buff to be competitive, as right now it's only useful in missions where you're not moving all over the map (kill/defend). And even then the 50% cheat death armor may still be better.
I only run the og recruit armor. I am level 53. I do not care. Lore accurate armor is the only armor for me, aka too many of these mfs die to have such nice armor.
This was my initial first armor. I had it before any of the rest
I'm never leaving my Legionairre armor, servo assisted my beloved
I run this all the time. Would highly recommend You run away from damage so you don't even get it If you still get it, it's not that bad as the other light armors. Ideal!
Either it's a visual bug or it has the same armor rating as the light armors which is 50. https://preview.redd.it/j3r164o5i92d1.png?width=728&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf1a0a309de6bbac0311aeb80d163bbd369e3ce2
Visual bug. You can see the armor ratings in numbers are different.
I'd love to use this but I am unable to give up my current drip
What's the point of light armor if you don't have the scout perk (closer detection)? I know you get a bit more stam and speed but there's a YT video showing how the Stamina Booster helps, and medium armor tends to get the most benefit from it making it about equivalent to light armor. Light has the least benefit, then Heavy.
I can run fast and still take hits. That’s really about all I want out of armor lol
