Armor Plates

Advanced shock-resistant armor inserts that provide +15% Damage Resistance and allow the user to go down one additional time before instantly being taken into custody. However, they are destroyed when the user is incapacitated.

Once deployed, the Armor Plates Bag can be used 4 times before disappearing. Remaining uses are visible within the bag.

Tips & Trivia

• Only one Armor Plate may be worn at a time.
• Armor Plates have no unlock requirement.
• The Armor Plates are based on a concept originally developed by Offyerrocker.

Design Notes

• As something of a preventative alternative to Doctor Bags, Armor Plates are being added to slightly expand player build potential. For those who enjoy sustain-oriented Perk Decks, Armor Plates may be more attractive than Doctor Bags due to their passive benefits.
• The Armor Plates deployable replaces the Armor bag from the base game. The Armor Bag was a nice idea in a perfect world where Stealth and Loud gameplay coexist seamlessly. Unfortunately, the reality is that Stealth and Loud builds have practically no overlap and heist progression does not reliably transfer when things go loud; for this reason, players have a strong incentive to simply restart if they fail Stealth at any time.
