Armor | The Surge Wiki

Armor or Gear in The Surge protects the player from damage as well as provides other gameplay benefits. It is not yet known what the specific armors are but this page will be updated as more information about the game is released.

Beyond defense, some armors increase the damage you deal, so if you have heavy exo on your arms it makes you more forceful. Besides that many armors have environmental effects. For example one armor turns on bright lights, a helmet that does the same thing. The game will also have environmental hazards like gas, and depending on the type of armor you have, you'll get protection from it or mitigate its effects in some capacity. You can mix and match these effects depending on the scenario you're getting into.

All Armour types provide different levels of Stability: High, Medium, and Low. While this state doesn't affect damage resistance in any way it does have some small benefits. Stability effects how effective you block/parry attacks with any weapon. Some attacks can bypass your block attempt if their attack is powerful enough. The reason why with lighter armour types you'll be mainly dodging since you can't block more powerful attacks. where as the oppersite can be said for heavier armors, who will be blocking more than dodging. medium being the jack of all trades. In addition, stability slightly effects how likely you will be interrupted when attacked (Requires further testing).

Core power is what powers the pieces of armor you equip. You can go up to a certain core power and no more and that's part of your armor choice. Some armor uses more core power, some uses less. You could potentially use a low power set of armor but use implants as a balance. You can find the perfect balance of most defensive armor and implants or vice versa.
