− | + | Recon armor is the lightest of the three [[power armor]]s, the other two being [[marine armor]] and [[cataphract armor]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}. It is significantly cheaper, requires less research, and doesn't slow movement, but offers the least protection. 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. | |
− | + | [[Flak vest]]s are noticeably cheaper and provide better Sharp armor - the most common type of damage. Unlike recon armor, you can also wear a [[duster]] or [[flak jacket]] over a flak vest for even more protection. When worn with a duster better than [[cloth]], a flak vest is better at protecting the torso, neck, and shoulders, against both Sharp and Blunt damage. Recon will always protect the arms and legs more, regardless of duster material. But limbs aren't "vital" to a pawn's life, unlike the heart or neck. Note that flak vests provide a -0.12c/s [[move speed]], while recon does not slow the user at all. | |

− | + | Overall, recon armor tends to be overshadowed by the flak vest + overgarment combination, as it is cheaper and practically equal in terms of protection. If an arm or leg happens to be shot off, then it can be replaced for {{Required Resources|Bionic arm}}, assuming there is a surgeon with decent Medical skill available. Thus, many players like to skip recon armor and just build the heavier power armors instead. But if speed is of utmost importance, such as for kiting tactics, then recon is the best for the job. | |
