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 100% 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.

Variants

Carrier vest

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

Icon	Name	Effect(s)	Component
	Biohazard Riot Armor	Increases Bio damage resistance/threshold	Biohazard Vest (component)
	Insulated Riot Armor	Increases Cold damage resistance/threshold	Insulated Vest (component)
	Galvanic Riot Armor	+10 to armor penalty Increases Electricity damage resistance/threshold	Galvanic Vest (component)
	Regenerative Riot Armor	+10 to armor penalty Provides health regeneration when powered	Regenerative Vest (component)
	Sturdy Riot Armor	Increases health	Sturdy Vest (component)

Ballistic panel

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

Icon	Name	Effect(s)	Component
	Reinforced Fabric	20% armor penalty Provides both mechanical damage resistance/threshold	Reinforced Fabric Ballistic Panel
	Laminated Fabric	20% armor penalty Lower mechanical resistance, but higher threshold	Laminated Fabric Ballistic Panel
	Super Steel Sheet	30% armor penalty Lowest mechanical resistance, highest mechanical threshold Increases mechanical damage resistance/threshold against attacks by melee weapon with a cutting edge	Super Steel Sheet

Shield plate

Type and quality of the shield plate material determines damage blocked per melee attack. The numbers in brackets represent the modified armor penalty with the feat Armor Sloping.

• Block chance from different sources does not stack. Each block chance is rolled separately against blockable attacks.
• Multiple different blocks can trigger against a single attack, in which case their amount blocked stacks additively.
• Sources of block:
  • Riot Shield (35-55%) (See also Shield Arm, Shield Bash, Boarding Up)
  • Spear Guard (50-100%) (See also Fend, Spear Guardian)
  • Parry (25-96%) (See also Riposte)
  • Guard (35-45%)
  • Boxing Gloves (15-100%)
  • Cryo-shield (50%)

Icon	Name	Effect(s)	Component
	Steel Shield	5 minimal strength +23(15) to armor penalty 2nd best amount of damage blocked	Steel Plates
	Tungsten Steel Shield	6 minimal strength +26(17) to armor penalty Best amount of damage blocked	Tungsten Steel Plates
	TiChrome Shield	5 minimal strength +18(11) to armor penalty Mediocre amount of damage blocked	TiChrome Bars
	Super Steel Shield	5 minimal strength +16(10) to armor penalty 2nd lowest amount of damage blocked	Super Steel Plates
	Burrower Shield	5 minimal strength +12 to armor penalty 3rd best amount of damage blocked	Burrower Carapace
	Psionic Carapace Shield	4 minimal strength +7 to armor penalty Increases psionic skills Decreases psi costs Mediocre amount of damage blocked	Psi Beetle Carapace

	Psi Crab Shield	5 minimal strength +24 to armor penalty +2 psi regen Increases psionic skills Mediocre amount of damage blocked	Psi Crab Carapace

Overcoat fabric

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

Icon	Name	Effect(s)	Component
	Antithermic Riot Overcoat	+5 to armor penalty Increases Heat damage resistance/threshold Decreases Stealth Provides immunity to burning	Aluminized Cloth
	(Black) Riot Overcoat	Increases Stealth	Black Cloth
	Blast Riot Overcoat	+15 to armor penalty Reduces damage taken from explosions	Blast Cloth
	Kevlar Riot Overcoat	+10 to armor penalty Further increases Mechanical damage threshold against bullets	Kevlar Cloth
