Mass Effect: Blackwell

Body armor in Mass Effect is a combination of both body armor and kinetic barriers. Kinetic barriers are mass effect fields that can deflect bullets and other high speed projectiles. Unfortunately, kinetic shields lose strength after deflecting bullets.

Body armor in Mass Effect is species specific, a Krogan cannot wear the same armor as a human. Armor also comes in three different types, Light, Medium and Heavy. Armor can be upgraded with Armor modifications.

Armor Rating: A character who dons a suit of armor gains this number as a bonus to their toughness. A weapon with the “Armor Piercing” quality reduces this bonus to a minimum of 0.

Shield Rating: A character who dons a suit of armor gains this number as a bonus to their toughness. A weapon with the “Armor Piercing” quality does NOT reduce this bonus. Melee weapons all ignore shield ratings, however, and a ranged weapon using Phasic rounds reduces it.
