AV-1C Combat Armor

About the AV-1C Combat Armor

The AV-1C is full battlefield plate, a heavy powered shell built to carry a soldier through the worst a firefight can offer. Thick interlocking plates wrap the entire body, and integrated systems help bear the considerable weight, letting the wearer stand and fight where unarmored troops would simply die. It's the armor of assault specialists and heavy troopers, the ones sent to breach fortified positions and hold ground under sustained fire. The protection is formidable, near the top of the heavy band, and it comes at the expected price: the wearer is slow, ponderous, and reliant on the suit's own strength to move at all. Agility is not the point. The AV-1C exists to turn its wearer into a walking bulwark, a soldier who advances into fire on the assumption that the plate will outlast whatever the enemy can throw, and usually it does.
