− | Cataphract armor | + | Cataphract armor provides the best protection of any armor in the game, especially against blunt, and can block heat damage. Like [[Recon armor]] and [[Marine armor]] it also covers the limbs in addition to the torso making for great overall protections. It provides roughly the same protection as a Marine Armor of one quality level above its own, or of Recon Armor two quality levels above its own. It also allows a pawn to reach the cap of 200% sharp protection at Legendary quality. Compared to a [[flak vest]] and [[duster]], Cataphract armor offers strictly superior protection to all body parts when all items are the same [[quality]], regardless of duster material. However, Cataphract armor is much more expensive, needs a long time to make and also needs the Cataphract Armor research before being available. |

The armor provides a significant [[Move Speed]] debuff of <nowiki>-0.80 c\s,</nowiki> double that of [[Marine armor]] and over six times that of a flak vest, making the armor impractical for every day wear by some pawns. The bionic legs may be used to offset this move speed penalty. |
