Shadowrun (Sega Genesis)/Armor

Armor includes all types of armor that can be worn in the game, from plain jackets to full combat armor.

Each entry includes the armor's name, followed by its protective power against weapons and guns, on a scale of zero to eight. The game uses "weapons" to mean hand-to-hand combat with unarmed thugs and supernatural creatures (hellhounds, etc.), while "guns" indicates the item's defense against any type of firearm. The legality status of the armor will also be noted.

Along with the above information, you'll see the familiar stats on how much to sell and buy the item for, where to find it, its in-game description, and any notes and recommendations.

Fashionable body armor. Low weapon protection. Poor gun protection.

• Also Available:
  • Ricky comes equipped with a set of this.
  • Trent Delisario comes equipped with a set of this.
  • Walking Bear comes equipped with a set of this.
  • Joshua (Decker) comes equipped with a set of this.
  • Joshua (Shaman) comes equipped with a set of this.
• Notes: Not worth buying at any stage of the game. If you have the money for this, you can certainly rustle up an extra 70 or 100 nuyen for the Vest w/Plates, which is vastly superior.

Yes

Ribbed, padded and woven. Fair weapon protection. Great gun protection.

• Notes: This is the best armor available before things start getting really pricey with the Light and Heavy Combat Armor. So, until you have around 10,000¥ to spend, you should make sure all your party members have this.

Heavy Combat Armor

No

Illegal military body-suit. Excellent weapon protection. Awesome gun protection.

• Also Available: Agira Tetsumi sells these for 30,000¥ apiece.
• Notes: The best armor in the game. You'll have to spend a lot of money to get a set, and that's not even counting all the stuff you'll have to go through to get in touch with Agira Tetsumi. However, this armor is worth every penny. You'll be all but invincible against normal attacks, with only heavy shotgun blasts having a chance to do any considerable physical damage to you. As soon as you have a steady source of income, start saving up to buy some of this.

This armor is not available for purchase in stores.

No

Illegal military body-suit. Great weapon and gun protection.

• Notes: Excellent armor that, like the Heavy version, is well worth the price. Until you get the contacts and money for Heavy Combat Armor (or if you foolishly choose to align with the Mafia and forgo it entirely), this is the best you'll get. It’s definitely worth saving for.

Lined Duster

Yes

Can conceal illegal weapons. Low weapon protection. Good gun protection.

• Also Available:
  • Winston Marrs comes equipped with a set of this.
  • Phantom comes equipped with a set of this.
  • Freya Goldenhair comes equipped with a set of this.
  • Rianna Heartbane comes equipped with a set of this.
  • Stark comes equipped with a set of this.
• Notes: Wearing a Lined Duster will not stop Lone Star from asking about your illegal weapons when you don't have a permit and will not keep your illegal stuff from being taken away when you get busted by the undercover Frag Grenade dealer. "Can conceal weapons" is not entirely accurate. As far as actual protection is concerned, you'd be much better off with the Vest w/Plates, which has better protection for even less money. Or, better yet, get the Armor Jacket, an even better armor set, for only a few hundred extra nuyen.

Rigid plates under cloth. Fair weapon protection. Good gun Protection.

• Notes: Very affordable and pretty strong, but it may be worth your extra two or three hundred nuyen to get the Armor Jacket.
