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
