Riot Gear is an armor suit with medium to high armor penalty. Like Tactical Vest, it consists of a vest and a ballistic panel and can use various optional overcoat fabrics. All riot armors have 100% increased Mechanical damage threshold against firearms and 50% increased Mechanical damage resistance and threshold against melee attacks.

A riot shield can also be a part of riot armor suit. Riot shields provide 30% chance to block some Mechanical damage from melee attacks. Carrying a shield limits the wearer to one-handed weapons and depending on the weight of the shield material, armor penalty is increased and a strength requirement is added.

Crafting

Riot Gear can be crafted with Blueprint: Riot Gear.

Variants

Carrier vest

Type and quality of carrier vest used determines secondary bonuses of the armor suit.

Biohazard Riot Gear — Increases Bio damage resistance/threshold

Insulated Riot Gear — Increases Cold damage resistance/threshold, lightest of the vests

Galvanic Riot Gear — Increases Electricity damage resistance/threshold

Regenerative Riot Gear — Provides health regeneration when powered

Sturdy Riot Gear — Increases health, very light armor penalty

Ballistic panel

No visual difference. Type and quality of ballistic panel used determines the Mechanical damage resistance and threshold of the armor suit.

• Reinforced Fabric — Provides both Mechanical damage resistance and threshold
• Laminated Fabric — Lower Mechanical resistance, but higher threshold
• Super Steel Sheet — Similar to laminated fabric, but also increases mechanical damage resistance threshold against knife attacks

Shield plate

Quality of the shield plate material determines maximal damage blocked per attack.

Steel Shield — 5 minimal strength

Tungsten Steel Shield — 6 minimal strength

TiChrome Shield — 5 minimal strength

Super Steel Shield — 5 minimal strength

Burrower Carapace Shield — 4 minimal strength, less armor penalty, but also less damage blocked compared to steel plates

Psi Beetle Carapace Shield — 4 minimal strength, increases psionic skills and decreases psi costs

Overcoat fabric

Optional overcoat fabrics give additional bonuses. Heavier fabrics slightly increase armor penalty.

Antithermic Riot Overcoat — Increases Heat damage resistance/threshold, decreases Stealth

Black Riot Overcoat — Increases Stealth

Blast Riot Overcoat — Further increases Mechanical damage threshold against bullets

Kevlar Riot Overcoat — Reduces damage taken from explosions
