The v45 Electric Charged Armor is an Equipment slot item unlocked at level 14. Despite being classified as armor, it does nothing passively, and needs to be activated. It causes a marine to glow, reduces the damage of melee attacks made against the marine, and stuns the attackers, who suffer mild shock damage. Each Electric Charged Armor has 3 charges; the armor's effects last 12 seconds.
Description[]
Activation of this marine armor's high voltage current stuns any attacker coming in contact with the suit, reduces incoming melee damage, and ejects infesting parasites from the armor surface.
Advantages[]
- Reduces melee damage when activated
- Prevent infestation when activated
- Slows infestation when used while parasite is attached
Disadvantages[]
- Limited number of uses
Strategy[]
- Activate Electric Charged Armor when entering an area with Swarm Eggs to prevent potential infestations by Parasites.
- If a Parasite does latch on to you, activating the armor will deal damage to the Parasite while reducing the damage you receive; on the easier difficulty levels, this is often enough to remove a Parasite without the need for a Medic to intervene, though you will suffer mild injuries.
- The Electric Charged Armor can also save your hide if you're surrounded by a horde of Drones.
