| − | Prestige recon armor improves a | + | Prestige recon armor improves a pawns [[Psychic Sensitivity]] by 5%, and improves the [[Psycasts#Mechanics|Psychic entropy recovery rate]] by 1 per 30 seconds. This primarily improves a pawns psychic power, but note that it also makes them more susceptible to psycasts themselves, as well as [[Events#Psychic Drone|psychic drone]]s. This increase is inferior to the [[Eltex vest]] that the prestige recon armor replaces, but in exchange it is significantly more protective. |
Protection-wise, the prestige recon armor is exactly as defensive as regular recon armor. Recon armor is the lowest tier of the three types of power armor, the other two being the [[Marine armor]] and the [[Cataphract armor]]. As such they're both significantly cheaper and have fewer research requirements, while also offering significantly less protection. While they have the same coverage, the recon armor is roughly equivalent to a Marine armor one [[quality]] level below (e.g. a Normal Recon armor ~= Poor Marine armor), or a cataphract armor two quality levels below. | Protection-wise, the prestige recon armor is exactly as defensive as regular recon armor.

| − | Compared | + | Compared a [[flak vest]] and [[duster]], the recon armor offers strictly superior protection to the arms and legs when all items are the same [[quality]], regardless of duster material. The interactions of two layers are dictated by the games [[Armor#Armor Rating|Armor Rating calculations]], and the result is that any combination of duster and flak vest offers superior protection of the torso, neck and shoulders than the recon armor, assuming all items are the same quality. The overall impact of the opposing traits of superior arm and leg protection and inferior torso, neck and shoulder protection on pawn survivability is currently unclear. However in this comparison, it should be noted that several vital organs are in the torso and the destruction of these can result in immediate death. |
It should also be noted that flak vests come with a movement penalty of -0.12c/s while the recon armor does not, meaning may be a reason to choose the recon armor even with inferior protection. | It should also be noted that flak vests come with a movement penalty of -0.12c/s while the recon armor does not, meaning may be a reason to choose the recon armor even with inferior protection. | ||
