− | + | Recon armor is the lowest tier of the three types of power armor, the other two being the [[Marine armor]] and the [[Cataphract armor]]. As such it's both significantly cheaper and has fewer research requirements, while also offering significantly less protection. While all power armor has the same coverage, the recon armor is roughly equivalent to a Marine armor one [[quality]] level below (e.g. a Normal Recon armor ~= Poor Marine armor), or a cataphract armor two quality levels below. | |
− | + | Recon armor occupies both the outer and middle layers, meaning it can't be worn with [[duster]]s (which occupy the outer layer) or with [[flak vest]]s (middle layer). The interactions of two layers are dictated by the games [[Armor#Armor Rating|Armor Rating calculations]]. When compared vs. a flak vest plus duster, the recon armor offers superior protection to the arms and legs when all items are the same [[quality]], regardless of duster material, but any combination of duster and flak vest offers superior protection of the torso, neck and shoulders, assuming all items are the same quality. | |

− | + | The overall impact of the opposing traits of superior arm and leg protection and inferior torso, neck and shoulder protection on pawn survivability is too complex to cover easily. However, in this comparison, it should be noted that several vital organs are in the torso and the destruction of these can result in immediate death. | |
− | + | It should also be noted that flak vests come with a [[Move Speed|movement]] penalty of -0.12c/s while the recon armor does not, meaning there may be a reason to choose the recon armor even with inferior protection. | |
