ARASAKA
GUNNERS VEST
SP: 30 EV-4 1250eb
This armor was designed for one purpose, to be worn by
personnel firing fixed weapons. Because it doesn't
allow full range of motion on the arms, it isn't very
popular at all. It's also very heavy, another
factor that doesn't do much for its sales. Still,
if it's your job to man the turret on a tank, or the
door gun on an AV or chopper, it's hard to beat the
protection this armor offers.
ARASAKA
IAA-13 SP:14 (torso, head) SP:12 (arms, legs) EV-0 350eb
This light armor is one of Arasaka's most popular
designs, and sells well to private security
forces. The helmet is fully equipped to install up
to 4 cyberoptic options.
ARASAKA
LYNX SP:16 EV-1 475eb
Arasaka's attempt at recreating the Gasium K-5. It
doesn't offer as much protection, and does hinder
movement very slightly. But if you budget doesn't
allow for Gasium, this is the next best thing.
ARASAKA
SUPPRESSOR (SP:30) EV-3 5476eb
This heavy armor from Arasaka offers more protection
that standard Metal Gear. The helmet is equipped
with Low Light, Anti-Dazzle, UV, and a military radio
communicator.
ARASAKA
ORC ARMOR 21,500eb
A lighter, albeit bulkier version of metal gear, this
slightly powered personal armor has a REF bonus of +1
and an SP of 25. Used for fast assaults into high risk
situations by E-SWAT, it is specially made for
maneuverability and stealth. It too utilizes the data
film for transmitting the physical signals too the suit.
Orc suits can monitor acoustic signatures, or A/S,
giving them an awareness bonus of plus +2. The system is
also designed to monitor their comrades for the sound of
breaking armor, giving them a better teamwork ratio in
stealth operations. The helmet is equipped with;
auditory boost, low light enhancement, image
enhancement, and tele-optics. The suit also boosts the
BOD and MA of the user with a bonus of +4 each.
ARASAKA
CV-2 VIPERSKIN LIGHT ARMOR VEST
(SP: 15 350EB)
Provides full protectionfor the torso as well as
shoulders, and the collar is armored to act as a
gorget. This armor incorporates a unique strap
design for attaching the shoulder padding, the heat
dispersal pads, and various other pouches and
accessories, the standard configuration consists of 4
pouches plus 2 grenade loops, though other variations
are common, and back straps are present and functional
for even more specialization..
ARASAKA
CV-3 Gauntlets 180eb
Protective gauntlets (SP: 10) for the forearms, these
protect from both bullet and knife, and are effective in
riot situations as well as being covered in the same
heat dispersal panels as the vest and pants.
ARASAKA
CV-4 Helmet 580eb
This helmet(SP: 20) features a full faceplate equipped
with anti-dazzle, low light, thermoptics, Ultraviolet,
Times Square, and targeting scope, the helmet also has a
built in radio and lasercomm. Finally the helmet
is self sealing and acts as a gasmask. The goggles
are actually high tech binoculars (treat as teleoptics
with x4 range). Like the uniform and armor, the
color of both helmet and faceplate varies, from standard
blue and silver, to high visibility gold and red, to
helmets in more stealthy colors or camo with non
reflective visors for covert or field operations.
ARASAKA
Collapsible Ballistic Shield 450
At the touch of a button this shield expands from the size of a small panel to a full riot shield, protecting the user even from most small arms fire (SP:25), and the shield is transparent so you never lose sight of your target when you are taking cover.
ARASAKA
YOJIMBO-7 BODY ARMOR 2890eb
Maximum protection without sacrificing comfort.
Using the same material as datafilm, although thicker
(SP: 10), for the flexible suit, then adding Spidersilk
soft armor plates to cover all vital organs (SP: 15),
Arasaka has created a very flexible, skin tight armor
that not only doesn't restrict movement at all, but is
almost invisible under regular clothing (A/N role of
above 22 to spot under loose clothing). (When hit
in any location, there is a 20% chance that the bullet
will hit the datafilm cloth, missing the Spidersilk
Armor pads.)
ARASAKA/MEXICAN MILITARY
LBAV-8 BODY ARMOR VEST 410eb (SP: 18)
Instead of straps, this armored vest has customizable pocket arrangements to more securely store your gear, or if one is inclined, one can simply use the pockets for thick Kevlar pad inserts (SP:20 10% chance bullets misses inserts, additional ten percent chance for every pocket used to store gear instead of armor.) The pockets vary in size, allowing a perfectly tailored custom load out every time.
ARASAKA/MEXICAN MILITARY
Knee And Elbow Pads 45eb (SP: 8)
A bit of added protection.
ARASAKA
Police Issue Armor Vest (SP:20, 310eb)
and Helmet (SP:25, 250eb)
This armor is designed by Arasaka to be all purpose, and so Uniformed officers, Swat, and C-SWAT are all issued the same vests and helmets with minor variations in color to differentiate them. Normal uniformed duty officers wear Blue Jumpsuits with white vests and helmets. SWAT officer uniforms vary in that they wear Black jumpsuits with gray vests and helmets, and C-SWAT personnel wear gray jumpsuits and blue armored vests and helmets. In addition, there are armored coverings for the forearms, shoulders, thigh's, knee's and boots (SP:10, 25eb each). As well as hard inserts for the vest (SP 5 and gives the vest an EV 1, 15eb). These addition armor plates and inserts will have the same coloration as the officers issued uniform colors depending on duty.
ARASAKA
Police Issue Riot Armor
This heavy armor consists of a heavy flack vest (SP:30, EV 2, 500eb), reinforced arm gauntlets (SP:15), woven Kevlar pants (SP 18, EV 1(550eb), armored boots (SP 12, 350), a more streamlined helmet (so bottles and the like bounce off instead of smashing full force) (SP 25, 120eb), and a better gas mask/filter (235eb). This armor is very heavy, and while it offers excellent protection, it severely limits mobility. Useful only for Riots, although the bomb squad seems to have taken a shine to them too. These suits also feature a glowing blue bar with extends from the shoulder, this make the officers wearing the suit easier to spot in a crowd. The standard black jumpsuit is worn underneath.
ARASAKA
POLICE ISSUE
METAL
GEAR 750EB
This armor is used only for extremely hazardous
situations. With C-SWAT getting the most out of
it.
It is standard metal gear (SP 25 EV 2) and makes for an
intimidating sight. The jumpsuit is worm
underneath, but absolutely no addition armor can be worn
under the metal gear. The helmet features the
basic visual package (LL, AD,), and the basic helmet
radio. Please note that metal gear is to be used only in
emergency situations, as its appearance has been known
to cause public relations nightmares. The public
doesn't like seeing its officers in metal gear, as it
implies something nasty is happening, which can lead to
public mistrust and or apprehension of the police.
ARASAKA
Police Issue
Datafilm 340eb
Since the police use the
landmate styled Enforcer ACPA,
a datasuit must be worn underneath. This uniform
is skin tight, and nothing can be worn above or beneath
it (except underwear) to operate properly. The
police version, its marking not withstanding is
functionally exactly the same as its civilian and
military versions.
ARMATECH
HV-7B1 Armor 650eb
(SP:25, EV-3,)
For heavy weapons specialists, the ICMF makes use of the second South American War U.S. issued flack armor. It consists of heavy plate body armor with shoulder pads, and a built in gyro-stabilization mount. Heavy Kevlar skirting completes the armor, to protect the upper portion of the wearers legs and groin.
ARMATECH
Battlesuit AAW-5 510eb
(SP:20 torso and helmet) (SP:15 limbs)
This suit, issued to U.S. special forces during the Second South American War was the precursor to modern metal gear. Unlike the metal gear of today, which most often consists of layered crabshell hard armor plates, the AAW-5 was made up of form fitting semi-rigid plates and softer Kevlar pieces all woven into a flexible bodysuit. The suit has built in adjustable holsters and gear attachment points, ad the helmet features a radio and built in anti-dazzle. ICMF forces still have plenty of these suits, which were left behind when the US pulled out of South America.
ARMATECH
HD-7 Armor 350eb
(SP:16)
A knock off-of the popular US Military issue breastplate.
BLUE SHIELD
Concealable Armored Vest 250eb
Plain clothes detectives, make the most use of this
armor, though undercover and even informants may on
occasion make use of it as well. It is a light and
extremely flexible ballistic vest providing protection
to the vital organs. It is rated at SP:12, though
it has pockets for a hard armor inserts that boost the
armor rating up toSP:18. While the plates restrict
movement somewhat (EV-1) with or without them the vest
is virtually invisible to the untrained eye (diff: 22 to
spot) and is available in both male and female versions
in either white or black.
BLUE SHIELD
Concealable Armored Undergarment 560eb
SP 12
Comfortable layered Arachne-silk over thin segments of Kevlar.
BLUE SHIELD
Concealable Hard Armor Vest
SP: 18 1050eb
This is the upgrades version of the Blue Shield Armor vest, it has molded hard armor clam shell plates attached in segments for maximum comfort and freedom of movement. It’s considerably more expensiv because each vest must be tailored specifically to the owners body, and adjustments will have to made if the user gains or loses a significant amount of money
(200eb). However the benefits of light weight and covert hard armor protection are more than worth the cost.
BLUE SHIELD
Scorpion Gauntlets
400eb (SP:20)
These gauntlets offer hard protection for your forearm elbow and the back of your hand, and for added defense a high powered taser is built into the gauntlet just above the wrist.
BLUE SHIELD
Cobra Gauntlets
350eb (SP:18)
Similar to the Scorpion Gauntlets, these forearm protectors contain an aerosol sprayer that can be loaded with a variety of substances, from tears gas or pepper spray, to acid, or even drugs.
CAMTECH
"Joshua" SP:20 (torso) SP:10 (arms and legs) EV-0 500eb
Flexible armor for personnel in a support role. It
leaves a lot of important areas uncovered, but its light
and doesn’t restrict movement at all.
CAMTECH
Blacklite Armor
720eb (SP:27)(EV:-1)
A very durable suit of Metal Gear style armor, head to toe protection that outperforms the competition.
CHINESE MILITARY
Torso Armor 310eb
(SP: 18)
This armor is little more than a Kevlar vest, flexible enough to be comfortable while capable of stopping most small arms fire. The vest is equipped with straps and pouches for securing any gear the soldier might carry.
CHINESE MILITARY
Neck Armor 8eb (SP: 15)
This is basically a heavy Kevlar scarf worn on the shoulders. It doesn't protect from strangulation , though it does protect from small arms fire, and allows the gasmask to rest comfortably from it when not being worn.
CHINESE MILITARY
Helmet 250eb- (SP: 20)
A Kevlar composite helmet with a short range radio
installed, with the microphone built into the gas mask
and the speakers built into the inside of the
helmet. Included with the helmet are Smart
Goggles equipped with Low-Light, Thermograph, and
Anti-Dazzle. The gas mask is also standard issue,
it is attached to the filter unit mounted on the
shoulder, or to an independent 20 minute air supply worn
on the right hip. The soldier may switch between
the two options as need arises. The gas mask also
provides SP: 10 facial armor.
CHINESE MILITARY
Heavy Gunners Armor
600eb (SP: 25 )
Equivalent in function to the American version but much
heavier and offering of more protection. The front
portion consists of heavy plate armor with a large
collar and shoulder pads. Unfortunately the armor
only has a light, flexible Kevlar pad (SP:12) in
the back, definitely a weak spot, but since the Chinese
military commanders look down on retreat, they don't
worry about it much.
CHINESE MILITARY
RED BEAR ARMOR
Preferred by special forces over the bulky standard
armor, this light weight composite plate armor consists
of chest plate (SP: 16, 200eb) shoulder arm and shin
plates (SP: 12, 10eb apiece). It allows the
soldier wearing it to move faster, and creates less of a
profile than the heavier standard armor.
CHINESE MILITARY
Metal Gear 510eb
(SP: 20) (EV: 2)
Absolutely no frills is the best description for this
Chinese armor. The hard plates are worn over a
soft ballistic weave (SP: 6) and the helmet comes
equipped with Infra red, thermograph, and anti dazzle,
as well as a short range radio. The suit is
extremely light wieght, mostly due to its sparse (for
metal gear) protection, and can be warn comfortably
longer than it's US or EDF counterparts.
COBRATECH
VYPER SP:18 (torso, arms, legs) SP:20 (head) EV-2 350eb
Light rigid combat armor, very popular with European and
Asian police forces.
COLUMBIAN

DREAMER
Fox Armor Jacket
500eb (SP:14)
A stylish, sleek, and lightweight leather and kevlar jacket, popular with motorcyclists and nomads because it offers as much protection from the road as it does from combat.

It has 2 cameras that can record simultaneously, each equipped with tele-optics, low-light, UV, and image enhancement. A headlamp capable of normal or UV light emission as well as an audio recorder/radio transmitter with satellite link are also built into the helmet. The visor has the same options the cameras do, as well as times square marquee that will display the images/video being recorded. The cameras each feed in to a separate easily changed recording chips (6hr’s each), and the onboard microcomputer allows for editing on the fly. Audio will record to either chip, neither, or both.
EUROPEAN DEFENSE FORCE
Military Issue Torso Armor 420eb (SP: 20)
The flexible, highly durable armored vest used by all EDF forces. Very light but offers no arm or groin protection. For added mobility the armor is modular, with shoulder pads, breastplate and mid-section wrap, and back plate.
EUROPEAN DEFENSE FORCE
Military Issue Helmet 250eb (SP: 20)
A very lightweight combat helmet, it is even semi flexible. A short range radio is installed in the helmet, with the microphone built into the chin strap and the speakers built into the inside of the helmet. A flip down visor is standard equipped with AD, IR, and LL.
EUROPEAN DEFENSE FORCE
Military Issue Neck Armor 50eb (SP: 12)
heavier than the U.S. counterpart, but offering better protection, and protects the entire neck, not just the front.
EUROPEAN DEFENSE FORCE
Military Issue Metal Gear 890eb
(sp: 25) (ev: 3)
Used solely for guarding highly secure areas and for
extremely heavy combat situations, as it is too heavy
for prolonged wear. The armors appearance varies
depending on branch of service. Customization is
common, however most officers suits are more elaborately
customized than others. Suits will also be
outfitted according to their use, such as the Navy's
scuba armor, and the arctic and desert survival
armor. There is even space armor for use by the
Air Force. All suits are equipped with a
cooling/heating system with a 3 hour battery and 3 hour
air supply. The styling of the armor reflects
European ego.
EUROPEAN DEFENSE FORCE
H.A.S.S.A.R. Armor 1200EB
The European heavy combat armor. It is basically metal gear with a few extras.. It provides SP:25 armor, comes with a helmet and removable face mask that functions as a gas mask with a built in person radio, therm optics, anti dazzle, Times square option and low light. the jumpsuit worn underneath is armored to SP: 6 and if the full version is worn, including powered leg units (allowing the soldier to make leaps up 15 feet and 10 feet high) the soldier wearing this is almost unstoppable.
EZ-TAC
FTO-5 Vest 80eb
(SP:20, EV: -1)
A very inexpensive armor vest made of semi-rid plates over kevlar, particularly for its protection rating.
FAMAST
GR-4 Body Armor Vest 400eb (SP: 18)
Very similar in design and function to the American standard issue Body Armor. The GR-4 armor vest is a soft armor vest with Hard-shell plates attached directly protecting the chest, shoulders, spine, and abdomen. The adjusting straps serve as an attachment point for additional equipment pouches, ammo, gear, or holsters. Knee And Shoulder Pads- (SP: 8, 45eb) Affix directly to the BDU's via special clasps. Additional Armor Add-Ons- for increased protection under heavy fire, a soldier may opt to wear the issued hard armor plates protecting the thighs and lower legs, as well as gauntlets protecting the forearm and elbows.
FAMAST
Helmet 200eb
(SP: 20)
Fully enclosed with an armored faceplate, the visor is
equipped with LL, Thermograph, and tele-optics and a
built in short range radio completes the helmet.
FAMAST
GR-8 21,350EB
(SP: 20) (EV: -1)
(STR: +2) (MA+1)
A very advanced and highly sought after piece of equipment, the Argentinean version of Advanced Metal gear is easily comparable to Arasaka's ORC suit. Not quite as highly armored, but much less bulky. The GR-8 is so impressive, that Mossad has placed a large order for them. In addition to boosting strength and speed, the suit's helmet is equipped with radio/laser comm, Level Damper, Thermograph, Low-Light, Image Enhancement, Times Square Marquee, Tele-Optics and Anti-Dazzle.
GERMANICS
PBA-5 Body Armor 1475eb (SP: 18 EV-1)
The PBA-5 is actually a complete armor system, that is worn in stages depending on duty and threat. It all begins with this vest. A hard shell torso plate that extends halfway down the back and chest is attached to a light form fitting armorweave (SP:8) which connect the lobster shell stomach, side and lower back plates. The design of these additional plates allow for a myriad of pouches, ammo, and other equipment to be attached for a very customized loadout tailored to any situation. The main reason this armor was replaced was due to its high cost, which was twice that of the modern system and its encumbrance, for a military force the size of the EDF, it simply wasn't cost prohibitive, it also took a bit longer to put on and take off. But for a smaller army, even one the size of Chile's, it was more than worthwhile
GERMANICS
PBA-5 Additional Armor 25eb each (SP: 12) Additional armor plates, worn at the thighs, and shoulders as well as gauntlets and shin guards, complete the basic armor ensemble. These replace the need for a seperate suit of metal gear, as a soldier can armor himself up to equivalent protection. Sadly, there in no groin protection in any variation, another reason the system was abandoned by the EDF.
GERMANICS
PBA-5 Helmet 500eb
(SP: 20)
Fully enclosed with an optional armored faceplate/gasmask, the drop down visor is equipped with LL, Thermograph, and tele-optics and a built in short range radio completes the helmet.
GUILTY SPARK
Dataweave Metal Gear (SP:25) 6450EB
(Segements of ceramic plates directly bonded to Dataweave, makes for a perfectly fitting armored shell segmented for maximum maneuverability and agility.)
JIN
TANGIER BODY ARMOR (SP: 16 torso, legs, arms) EV-1 720eb
Less protection than Metal Gear, but infinitely more
comfortable.
JIN
BODYGUARDIAN Suit (SP:10) 1230eb Helmet (sp:20 w/
4cyberoptic options and 2 cyberaudio options) 780eb
Essentially just a triple layered Datafilm with a little
extra padding around the vital areas.
MALORIAN
White Knight Armor SP:20 EV-0 13500eb
The market is very slim for these suits, mostly due to
price, which must be hand made and custom fitted to each
individual. While they seem a bit ridiculous in
their advertisements, Malorian guarantees they are 100%
combat effective. The original design was created
when Kerry Eurodyne contacted Malour about outfitting
his bodyguards with a more aesthetically pleasing
version of Metal Gear.
MARS
Mercenary AHA-3 16,250eb
(SP:25) (EV:1) (STR:+3) An early and slightly inferior equivalent of HAL-05 metal gear plus from Militech, this armor is very rugged, and stands up well to rough wear and abuse. It gives the wearer a slight boost to strength, and allows him to stand up to even the most brutal opposition. Made by an Australian company and rumored to have been supplied by the EDF, these are most often used by ICMF special forces type groups, or in cases of heavy defense positions. The helmet features built in radio, Thermograph, Low-Light, Anti-Dazzle, Smart link, and Level Dampener. The suit also features several attachment points for a large variety of equipment pouches, ammunition storage, and weapon holsters.
MEXICAN METALS ACHAS-02 19,350eb
(SP:30) (EV:3) (STR:+4)
This suit of metal gear plus is the heaviest in standard use of any military in the world. It is not as agile as or as strong as some it's counterparts in the EEC, Russian, or American militaries, but its protection is incomparable. The suit provides the wearer with a strength boost which helps alleviate the stress of the weight of the suit itself, though its size still adds greatly to the encumbrance of the armor. The cloth portions of the armor are actually thick Armorweave (SP: 8) draped over a strength boosting frame. Just shy of hardsuit classification, this suit features a 30 minute independent air-supply, a cooling system made necessary by Mexican climate, and the helmet is equipped with IR, Anti Dazzle, Low-Light, audio dampers, and a military radio/laser communicator. Additional accessories include a gyro-stabilization harness and back mounted ammo hopper (200 rounds) for heavy gunner duty, and disposable self inflating flotation units for naval duty. Mexican Metals is hard at work on an advanced model that reduces the encumbrance by over half while still retaining full protection and strength boost.
MESSER
Stagg Armor
500eb
Sold as a set, this armor includes a hard armor clamshell breast plate with high collar and shoulder pads, kneepads, gauntlets, elbow pads, groin and abdomen protector, armored boots, and a helmet (all SP:20).
MILITECH
Commando US-SCAB2 1055eb
SP:16 (torso) SP:10
(legs, arms & groin) EV:0
This version of the Standard Combat Armor produced for
the US Military is specifically designed for special
forces. So far only the Army and Air Force special
forces have officially adopted it.
MILITECH
Commando US-SCAB5 1055eb
SP:16 (torso) SP:10 (legs, arms & groin) EV:0
Since the SEALS wouldn't go for the original Commando
armor, Militech took their suggestions and went back to
the drawing board. This is what the came up with
and is currently being tested by selected SEAL teams
serving in Africa and Southeast Asia.
MILITECH
Blastmax Armor
1420eb (SP:35, EV:-5)
Bomb Disposal Armor, this armor has the highest protection rating you can get on personal armor without involving a powered frame. The helmet is equipped with Tight Beam Laser Communicator, Flashlight, Tele-optics, Therm-optics, Image Enhancement, and Micro-optics.
MILITECH
HACA-12 SP:25 (torso, head) SP:14 (legs, arms, groin)
EV-2 975eb
This heavy armor is a budget alternative to metal gear
for heavy assault situations. It is customizable
upon request and offers fantastic protection for most of
the body.
MILITECH
M-9 CRYE Body Armor 550eb (SP: 15)
This vest is slightly flexible and protects the torso of the wearer from most small arms fire, it is also highly modifiable due to the straps running across it, allowing it's loadout to be customized to the wearers exact needs. It features optional shoulder pads, optional belt brace for heavy loads, and additional armor plates (SP:8 EV-2) can be added instead of equipment pouches.
MILITECH
Groin Armor 80eb
(SP: 10)
Protects the soldiers groin, while somewhat uncomfortable, this is perhaps the most popular piece of armor among the soldiers, after all it protects the soldiers favorite peace of equipment.
MILITECH
Neck Armor 30eb
(SP: 10)
An armor plate gorget that protects the wearers throat, won't do much against most bullets, but will some protection is better than none, and will prevent garrote attacks effectively.
MILITECH
CRYE Ballistic Helmet 850eb (SP: 18)
The helmet itself is a simple, but highly sloped
bucket. Militech has added a detachable high
resolution video/audio recorder w/ 2 hours recording
time, a detachable short range radio, and
removable smart-optic shades with Smartlink,
Anti-dazzle, UV, and Tele-optics. In addition to
the smart-optic shades, the helmet has a flip down
monocle attached directly to the camera equipped with
Times Square, Image Enhancement, Thermograph,
Tele-optics and GPS (allowing the soldier to actually
utilize 2 different optic systems at once. This
monocle is always in direct connection with the RTO,
whose pack receives and transmits GPS locations,
messages from base, Satellite imagery (allowing the
soldier to have a top down view of his current
location), or audio/vid from the rest of the team
(allowing the monocle to display what his teammates are
seeing). The U.S. Military is already looking to
implement the features of this system into their own
helmets. The helmet also features a removable
flashlight, capable of emitting regular, Ultraviolet
light or a laser, and a removable armored muzzle (SP:10)
to protect the wearers face and acts as a gas mask,
sealing around the smart-optic shades and the
helmet. (The latest version has smaller
non-detachable light and camera and is more streamlined)
MILITECH
M-1 Armored Vest 280eb (SP:15)
First issued to American troops during the Second South American War, this is still the most commonly used and widely distributed personal armor among the ICMF soldiers. In addition to the straps to affix the load bearing equipment, this armor also has numerous small straps and loops for storing individual rounds of 5.56 mm ammunition (40 rounds) or other equipment. It also features removable flexible armored shoulder pads (SP:8)
MILITECH
M-2 Torso Armor 350eb
(SP: 20) (EV-1)
Primarily used in conjunction with the 2nd South Am War U.S. style BDU's supplied by Militech, this plated body armor is very close in design and function to the M-3 armor currently used by United States forces. It was introduced late in the 2nd South Am conflict and is a common sight with ICMF forces. Unfortunately the armor can get a bit hot and uncomfortable, and most soldiers prefer the softer M-1 armor vests.
MILITECH
M-1k Knee Pads 60eb (SP: 8)
Protects the wearers knees.
MILITECH
M-1H Helmet 460eb
(SP: 18) Again, like the M-1 armor, this helmet was issued to U.S. forces during the Second South American War, and is still the most common headgear in use among ICMF personnel. It features attachment points for any standard (1995-2015) era night vision goggles, built in radio, and flip down visor with anti-dazzle coating and an inner flip down monocle with times square marquee.
MILITECH
SPARRA (SP:22 EV-1) 1230eb
A slightly lighter, more flexible version of Metal Gear.
MILITECH
Metal Gear Mrk-I 600eb
(SP:25) (EV-3)
The very first suit of metal gear ever produced, and issued in large numbers to United States Troops during the Second South American War. Large, bulky, and hot, it nevertheless afforded excellent protection. It was particularly effective in the Andes Mountains and in Operation: Blind Faith. This armor is still widely in use by the ICMF as the surplus for the suit is immense, plus it is just one more symbol of the abandonment. The helmet is equipped with a radio and a flip down visor with Ultra-Violet, and anti-dazzle.
MILITECH
ARM-7 Combat Exosuit-2100eb (sp: 15) (ev: 0)
he ARM-7 combat exosuit uses the same Strength Enhancing
power frame as the HAL-O5 suit. By eliminating the
heavier armor in favor of a thinner shell, and not
bothering to completely enclose the wearer, the ARM-7
suit can be worn over its users normal clothes and
provide him with an even greater strength boost than the
HAL-05 armor (+6) due to the suit having less base
weight. This latest breed of exoskeleton is a far
cry from the old bulky models of the past. And
while the wearer may not be as protected as the heavier
HALO-5 suit, his strength boost more than makes up for
it.
MILITECH
HAL-05 Metal Gear Plus 24,000eb
(SP:25) (EV:2) (STR:+5) Like most things in the U.S. military, the US standard issue Metal Gear is much more utilitarian and functional than it's European counterpart. The same suit is worn by all branches of the U.S. military, so any additional options are easy to install, such as thrust units for E.V. duty or swimmer options for underwater operations. As standard the suit is air tight, able to withstand depths of up to 500 feet, and is equipped with its own cooling/heating system with 4 hour battery. The helmet features full optics suite with (IR, Thermograph, Targeting Scope, Low Light, and Anti-Dazzle).
NEO-SOVIET MILITARY

ROSTOVIC
ZNZR-Armor 12,540eb
Supplied by Russia, these older suits of slightly powered metal gear aren't quite as powerful as the new Russian Deep Eyes suits, the Arasaka Orcs, or the Militech HAL-O5 suits, but they should not be underestimated. The boost the wearers strength (+2) and speed (+2) and provide all over protection (SP:22) with little negative effect to the wearers agility (EV-2).
ROSTOVIC
Deep-Eyes Armor 24,350eb
(SP:28) (EV:2) (STR:+5)

bulky, only 2 operatives per AV will be wearing it.

UNITED STATES MILITARY
M-HGR Heavy Gunners Armor 210eb (SP: 20 )
This torso plate is actually built into the support for the gyro stabilization mount for the heavy machine gun. It doesn't cover as much area as the standard armor, and slightly more constraining, but it does offer a bit more protection for the areas it does cover with thicker, more rigid armor. The built in gyro-stabilization mount can accept virtually any heavy machine gun, but is most often used with the MILITECH M71B3HB or a Browning M2HB. Some soldiers have complained that in addition to carrying the big gun that makes them a target, the lesser protection is injury to insult.
URBANTECH
RAVE ARMOR
Rave armor from Urbantech isn't really that effective at stopping bullets, but it does help Street Samurai on a budget at least look like they have some protection. It really consists of nothing more than SP:10 shoulder pads which can be attached to any heavy leather jacket and sold for 230eb. The Rave boots, sold for 690eb a pair, on the other hand, also with an armor rating of SP:10, are well respected, since they protect the entire lower leg from the kneecaps down, front and back, with out sacrificing movement.
