Metal Armor is an armor suit. All infobox examples on this article are crafted from Quality 50 components unless noted otherwise.

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.

Icon	Name	Effect(s)	Component
	Steel Armor	8 minimal strength 65(42)% armor penalty High Mechanical damage resistance/threshold Average Energy damage resistance/threshold +5 Heat and +5 Acid damage threshold	Steel Plates
	Tungsten Steel Armor	9 minimal strength 75(49)% armor penalty Highest Mechanical damage resistance/threshold Lowest Energy damage resistance/threshold Average Heat damage resistance/threshold +5 Heat and +5 Acid damage threshold	Tungsten Steel Plates
	TiChrome Armor	8 minimal strength 50(32)% armor penalty Lowest Mechanical damage resistance, low threshold Highest Energy damage resistance/threshold Highest Heat damage resistance/threshold +5 Heat and +5 Acid damage threshold	TiChrome Bars
	Super Steel Armor	8 minimal strength 45(29)% armor penalty High Mechanical damage resistance, lowest threshold High Energy damage resistance/threshold Average Heat damage resistance/threshold +5 Heat and +5 Acid damage threshold	Super Steel Plates

Carrier vest

No visual difference. Provides secondary bonuses to the armor suit.

Icon	Name	Effect(s)	Component
	Insulated <material> Armor	Average Cold damage resistance/threshold	Insulated Vest (component)
	Galvanic <material> Armor	+5 to armor penalty Average Electricity damage resistance/threshold	Galvanic Vest (component)
	Biohazard <material> Armor	Average Bio damage resistance/threshold	Biohazard Vest (component)
	Sturdy <material> Armor	Increases health by 100% of the vest's quality	Sturdy Vest (component)
	Regenerative <material> Armor	+5 to armor penalty Provides health regeneration when powered	Regenerative Vest (component)

Enhancements

Metal armor suits may have up to 3 enhancements. The numbers in brackets represent the modified armor penalty with the feat Armor Sloping. For example a super steel armor three times reinforced with super steel plates has an armor penalty of 92% or 59% with Armor Sloping and has a weight of 15.6.

Icon	Name	Effect(s)	Component(s)
	Reinforced (Steel)	Increases damage resistances/thresholds +23(15) to armor penalty +2 to weight	Steel Plates
	Reinforced (Tungsten)	Increases damage resistances/thresholds +26(17) to armor penalty +2.5 to weight	Tungsten Steel Plates
	Reinforced (TiChrome)	Increases damage resistances/thresholds +18(11) to armor penalty +1.5 to weight	TiChrome Bars
	Reinforced (Super Steel)	Increases damage resistances/thresholds +16(10) to armor penalty +1.2 to weight	Super Steel Plates
/ / /	Spiked <material> Armor	Deals extra damage in melee Tungsten and TiChrome spikes deal slightly more damage than steel +3 to armor penalty, +4 with tungsten +1.4/1.8/1 to weight (steel/tungsten/TiChrome)	Steel Spikes Tungsten Steel Spikes TiChrome Spikes
