However, keep in mind it occupies the utility slot, and thus cannot be worn with a [[shield belt]] or other utility item. Consider using the [[locust armor]] if you wish to have both jump capability and another utility item. The downside of locust armor is its comparatively low sharp armor, standing at only 87% at normal quality, beaten by the [[flak vest]] at 100% and significantly outclassed by other power armors.
