Armor provides crucial defense and utility for your soldiers. It increases HP, grants armor points, and often provides additional utility slots. Like weapons, armor comes in tiers: Kevlar, Plated, and Powered. Powered armor often grants access to heavy weapons or unique abilities. Prioritize armor upgrades to improve your soldiers' survivability.

Armor Tiers:
- Kevlar Vest: Basic starting armor, no utility slots.
- Plated Armor: Increased HP, one utility slot.
- Powered Armor: Significant HP boost, two utility slots, often grants heavy weapon access (e.g., EXO Suit, WAR Suit).
