Environmental Suits are used in the dedicated EV Suit slot. It allows you to survive in extremely hostile environments such as the vacuum of space or extremely hot or cold worlds.
Use[]
Prior to November 2021, environmental suits used the body armor slot, and as such had to be manually swapped for captains and bridge officers when they were needed. As of the patch on 2 November 2021, on PC, all Captains and Bridge Officers have a dedicated EV suit slot next to their armor slot. This slot can only equip EV Suits, and is now the only place EV suits can be equipped.
You can toggle between your standard armor and the EV suit on your captain at any time, choosing which stats, passives, set bonuses, and other effects you use. You can not be able to benefit from armor and EV Suit stats at the same time. Upon entering a hostile environment, the EV suit with automatically toggle on to protect you. You can not deactivate the suit in a hazardous environment, but you can toggle the lights on your suit manually. You have no power to toggle the suit on your bridge officer.
When an EV Suit is not equipped, a default armor will still function which offers no stats beyond allowing you to survive in the vacuum of space.
Missions[]
Many missions require EV suits to progress. They often provide a basic one for free.
The following missions require environmental suits:
- Tholian Incursion ground zone on Nukara Prime
- “Boldly They Rode”
- “Asteroid Mining”
- “New Romulus: The Power Source”
- “Secrets of the Ancients”

Additionally, all missions requiring a [Rebreather Device] (like Mission: Hearts and Minds) can be done with an EV suit.
Performance[]
The standard environmental suit gives the user resistance to Radiation, Toxic, Fire and Cold damage, collectively referred to as "Environmental Damage" in the game. All Uncommon and higher EV suits also give Physical and Kinetic Damage Resistance Rating of the same magnitude. The amount given scales with Mark level, and is given by the number B in the modifier table below.
