RivalPearl Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) I looked around and didn't notice anyone mention it. How many armor types are there? Will there be power armor or are you stuck with the default blue armor they always have on in lets plays and pictures? Like for example UFO defense had Personnel armor and power armor and Flying suit. Same with the XCOM: EU, they had multiple types of different armor. Even ghost armor. Will there be different armor types that potentially cover your soldiers face like the power armor? Can you change the helmets like you could in the new XCOM game? Does the armor actually change the appearance of your soldier or does it just have the stats but with the default blue armor?

svidangel Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 There is at least the starting armor (right off the bat) which gives a slightly different appearance to your soldier. I'm guessing things like editing faces and replacing faces with helmets isn't likely to be in, at least not without a mod or doing it yourself.

In the alpha there is also an armour set called wolf armour that is quite different from the jackal armour. But the other armours are not in the alpha buildTotal I believe there will be around 7 or something. Yes, there will be power armour. No, there will not be a typical flight suit. It will be replaced by a jumpjet suit or something similar that will require you to end your turn standing on something. Yes, the armours will change the appearance of your soldiers. (not their facial features but they will be wearing different suits with helmets covering the head. You will not be able to swap helmets. they are part of the armour) Edited October 24, 2012 by Gorlom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivalPearl Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 So like if you played UFO defense remembered how the power armor completely protected the unit and hid his face and everything? Will there be an armor like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
