'''Metal Armor''' is an [[Armor|armor suit]]. {{Infobox quality note|50}}

== Description ==
The metal armor is the heaviest armor suit in Underrail. It has high resistances/thresholds, equally massive armor penalty and weight. The armor penalty can be reduced significantly with the feat [[Armor Sloping]]. Metal armor suits, helmets and boots are the only types of armor to provide protection against {{energy}} damage. All metal armor suits also provide {{heat}} and {{acid}} damage threshold.

Any metal armor suit can be worn without meeting its minimal strength requirement, but doing so will reduce your APs.

== Crafting ==
Metal Armor can be crafted with [[Blueprint: Metal Armor]].

== Variants ==

=== Base material ===
Type and quality of metal plates used determines the main damage resistances/thresholds and base armor penalty of the armor suit. Steel armor is used as a basis of resistance comparison here. The numbers in brackets represent the modified armor penalty with the feat [[Armor Sloping]].
