Armor

All XCOM military personnel are issued with personal armor to provide them with protection in the battlefield. A number of different variants do exist to provide wearers with additional functionality in the field or accommodate their combat role. MEC Troopers use MEC suits rather than body armor. Some troops wear custom designed armors to serve several uses.

Body Armor
The most basic armor available to XCOM forces, it provides some protection against hazards but is otherwise limited in its capacity.

Flight Suit
All XCOM pilots wear flight suits to keep them safe from the strain of high g-forces, they also provide life support for the pilots while operating at high altitudes.

Carapace Armor
An improved armor design which provides significantly more protection to the wearer, the thicker plating and more sophisticated technologies integrated into the armor dramatically improve survivability.

Ghost Armor
A more tactically designed suit, Ghost Armors are fitted with stealth systems to render the wearer invisible through active camouflage. The advanced design features to protect the wearer from toxins and strangulation with a sealed air supply while its alien alloy make up protects the wearer from high external temperatures. Additionally Ghost Armor contains a grappling hook on the left arm for increased agility.

Skeleton Suit
