Armor & Defensive Gear

Learn how P-3's defense works in Atomic Heart: Annihilation Instinct. Upgrade health and resistances at Nora terminals and utilize Polymer Glove abilities like.

While there isn't a traditional armor system with equipable pieces in Atomic Heart, P-3's defensive capabilities are tied to character upgrades and specific Polymer Glove abilities. The 'Character' upgrade tree at Nora terminals allows you to increase P-3's maximum health and resistance to various damage types (e.g., blunt, piercing, elemental). Additionally, the Polymer Glove can be upgraded with defensive abilities like the 'Polymer Shield' (if available in the DLC), which creates a temporary protective barrier. Consumables like 'Neuromed' health kits are your primary means of health recovery. Always keep a good stock of these. Some passive upgrades might also reduce incoming damage or increase your dodge effectiveness, so review the character upgrade tree carefully for defensive options.
