Editing Body armors (XCOM: Enemy Unknown)


[[File:XCOM(EU)_XCOMBodyArmor.jpg|thumb|280px|Body armor is a soldier's last line of defense; upgrade often.]]
'''Body armor''' is used by [[soldier]]s to protect themselves against [[Aliens (XCOM: Enemy Unknown)|alien]] [[Weapons (XCOM: Enemy Unknown)|weapons]] and environmental hazards during combat missions. All soldiers are capable of equipping themselves with body armor, except [[MEC Trooper]]s who equip [[MEC]] suits instead.

All body armors provide additional HP to soldiers. Damage taken against this "armor HP" does not count towards a soldier being wounded; soldiers will only require recovery time if they lose some of their base health (the green number displayed in their stats screen) during a mission. Additionally, soldiers can supplement their "armor HP" by equipping a [[Nano-fiber Vest]], [[Chitin Plating]], or [[Respirator Implant]] in their item slot.

The following is a list of all the '''body armors''' available in ''[[XCOM: Enemy Unknown]]''.
