Description:
The Gypsy Combat Armor was made with heavier weapons in mind. With the addition of so many new weapons, folks in the militant business such as Bounty Hunters or Mercenaries would need additional Protection. Created to be modular and upgradeable it''s bare bones but effective.
The Crystalline Mesh combined with the Durasteel plating and jumpsuit are power houses of protection. Plates an be snapped on and off, leaving it up to the user what plates they will wear. This can add or drop weight.
New armor plates may be installed with a different base material but the Mesh will need to be removed and then re-added. The mesh and plates provide Ion, EMP & Kinetic protection as well as some energy based weapons protection.
The Jumpsuit underneath is a three layer tight fitting overall composed of the Environmental underlay, Elastex Spider Silk and Armor Weave. This provides increased protection from energy based weapons, Vibroblades and extreme environments.
Note: Due to material costs suits are rare to come by. Manufactured in lots of five per month.
