Armor

Armor can be worn by prospectors to decrease the damage taken from various sources. A prospector can equip one helmet and one shield at a time.

Properties of Armor

Armor (value)

The behavior of the damage values depends on the Penetration value of the damage source and the Armor rating. If both are equal, the damage is applied normally. If the armor rating is higher, the damage gets reduced in accordance to how much higher the armor rating is. Likewise, if the penetration value exceeds the armor rating the damage increases.

Durability

Every armor piece has a durability that is reduced whenever the wearer takes damage. At the Printer you can repair your armor for a small amount of K-Marks.

Armor variants

Some armor variants trade protection and durability for a boost:

• "Tactical" armor increases stamina
• "Restoration" armor regenerates health over time
• The "NV" helmet enhances vision in dark areas
