Guide to Combat Armors in FOnline:Reloaded

Combat Armor family holds 6 types of armor, which all base on appearance of Regular Armor. Seems that origin was exploated by every faction in California. I will take a look closer into those armors, their pros and cons.


Combat Armor CA-MkI (craftable)

This is regular armor which player can craft and obtain by relatively easy tasks, like cave hunting, lockers in random city encounters and quest from Gun Runners or Stranded Ship.

Base armor, non-stats, is weakest of whole CA family, however, ability to craft this piece of armor can result in obtaining (if lucky!) powerful protection. Best armor can offer additional 5 DT for each of damaga at a time (or even 2 or 3) and Damage Resist. For example, armor with +5 DT and 10% Resists in same type of damage (best would be normal damage) is as much powerfull as power armor!

Strong point: Craftable
Weakeness: Fire / Electric gaps

Obtaining:
- Crafting - requires blueprints
- Gun Runners Quest
- Stranded Ship Quest
- Lockers in Random Encounters
- Caves in mountain area
- Ares Rocket Silo (level 1)
- Glow (with stats)

Desert Combat Armor (lootable)

This armor offers best protection against snipers and guys with explosives. It has enhanced resists and tresholds for explosions and, most important reduces crit power and crit chance on user.
