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

Description

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.

Crafting

Riot Gear can be crafted with Blueprint: Riot Gear.
