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 75% increased Mechanical damage resistance and threshold against melee attacks.

A riot shield can also be a part of riot armor suit. Riot shields provide 35% chance to block some Mechanical damage from melee attacks. Carrying a shield limits the wearer to one-handed weapons and depending on the shield material, a strength requirement is added and armor penalty is increased.

Riot gear with shield can be used without meeting its minimal strength requirement, but doing so will reduce your APs.
