Tips

    , though their level also plays a huge factor as the reduction of the armor plate is flat.
  • The damage reduction from this item is applied after the damage reduction from armor.
  • The Repulsion Armor Plate pairs well with the Planula.png PlanulaBgBoss.pngPlanula.pngPlanula

    Heal from incoming damage for 15 (+15 per stack).
    , since the Planula's healing triggers when damaged and the Armor Plate reduces that damage taken. It's possible to gain health rapidly when attacked with rapid and weak damage.
    • Both the Armor Plate and Planula fall off in effectiveness as the difficulty increases, however.
  • This item does not block damage from the Void Fog.

Shipping Details:

Luckily no one was hurt during the shootout. Just a few rough characters at the bar by the docks. Nothing we couldn’t handle. Jaime took a shot to his shoulder but his armor took all the impact. We’ll need to order him a replacement part before he can go back out in the field.

The segmented design is nice because I don’t have to shell out the cash for a whole new set. Frankly, the station’s coffers have seen better days. The next time a rookie damages their equipment they might be looking at a desk job for a while.

Trivia

  • The Repulsion Armor Plate is a reference to the Repulsion Armor from the first Risk of Rain, which greatly reduces damage taken and reflects damage for a short period after the holder is damaged 6 times. Presumably, the Repulsion Armor Plate is a piece of this armor.
