Body Armor

Body Armor is a type of personal equipment that offers players various forms of damage resistance and damage strength.

Types of body armor
There are four basic categories of armor:
 * Energy Dampening Armor is Energy Armor that provides the highest resistance to energy damage, and an equal amount of resistance to kinetic damage, but no resistance to physical damage or any other bonus.
 * Polyalloy Weave Armor is Physical Armor that provides the highest resistance to physical damage, and an equal amount of resistance to kinetic damage, as well as moderate resistance to energy damage.
 * The other four standard types (below) are known as Utility Armor. They provide moderate resistance to physical and kinetic damage, low resistance to energy damage, and a boost to combat performance.
 * Environmental suits provide resistance to harsh environments, and many are armored as well. See the Environmental Suit article for details.
 *  S  = 4.55 + Mk &times; 2.05, for Marks I through XII, with values rounded to the nearest tenth in the in-game tooltip.
 * Standard issue, Mk XIII and Mk XIV seem to use custom, hard-coded values, as they do not fit any formula consistent with the other Mark levels.

Set Armor
Numerous ground sets incorporate Body Armor as part of a 3-set bonus. See the Set page for details.

Other Special Body Armors
Some missions in the game reward special body armor, which are based on existing armors:
