Armor Attachments

About Armor Attachments

As with weapons, a fair amount of common sense on the part of the players and GM is required when modifying armor. For example, most suits of armor can only hold one environmental system, such as cold or heat resistance, or one type of optical enhancement in the helmet.

(GM:) Attachments that require a helmet or visor can add a helmet or visor to that armor, within reason.

Cortosis Weave

p. 194

Some armorers specially equip protective gear with an underlying weave of rare cortosis. This does tend to make the armor more resistant to being penetrated (especially by energy weapons).

This attachment can be added to any full-body armor.

Base Modifiers: The armor gains the Cortosis Quality.
Modification Options: None.
Hard Points Required: 2.
Price: 10000 credits

Enhanced Optics Suite

p. 194

Built into a helmet, this system provides an individual with a host of specialized optical and audio sensors. Each system is equipped with passive light amplification, thermal signature readers, ultrasound pickups, millimeter wave emitters, video capture, and common optical enhancements.

This attachment can be added to any armor with a helmet or visor.

Base Modifiers: Removes up to added to all Perception, Surveillance, Vigilance, and combat skill checks due to darkness, smoke, or other environmental effects that obscure vision.
Modification Options: 1 Skill (Vigilance) Mod.
Hard Points Required: 1.
Price: 1750 credits.

Optical Camouflage System

p. 195

Using a series of phased array optical projectors combined with sound baffling equipment and thermal and radiation shielding, OCS can render a wearer nearly invisible to the naked eye. The PAO projectors allow the wearer to blend in with their surroundings by mimicking them, similar to an animal with active camouflage abilities, and the different radiation shields hide the wearer's body heat as well as any electromagnetic radiation from other sensors or communications gear. For all of its utility, however, this system is incredibly fragile and is not recommended for combat.

This attachment can be equipped on any type of armor, but is nearly useless on laminate and plastoid heavy armor, which is often too bulky and loud to mask properly.

Base Modifiers: Upgrades the ability of all Stealth checks twice while wearing this armor.
Modification Options: 1 Innate Talent (Master of Shadows) Mod, 1 Skill (Stealth) Mod.
Hard Points Required: 2.
Price: 5500 credits.

Superior Armor Customization

p. 195

Any piece of armor can benefit from retooling at the hands of a superior craftsman.

Base Modifiers: Gives the armor the Superior Quality.
Modification Options: None.
Hard Points Required: 1.
Price: 5000 credits.

Micro-Rocket Armor Mounting

BH-ND p. 52

See: Micro Rockets

This attachment can be installed on any armor.

Base Modifiers: Enables user to fire 1 loaded micro-rocket without needing to perform a maneuver to draw. Increases Encumbrance by 3. Micro-Rockets loaded in the Attachment do not count toward the character's Encumbrance value.
As micro-rockets are Limited Ammo 1 weapons, the launcher has the Limited Ammo 1 Quality, and thus must be reloaded with a new micro-rocket to be fired again.
Modification Options: 5 Mount 1 additional micro-rocket Mods, 1 Remove from checks to fire micro-rockets from this attachment Mod.
Hard Points Required: 2.
Price: (R) 800 credits.

Tracking System

BH-ND p. 52

Through a series of specialized computer systems and sensors, this attachment collects and processes data from the wearer's surroundings to follow and predict the movements of designated targets. A heads-up display integrated into a helmet or visor feeds the wearer this information onto an overlay of their surroundings. The systems are not limited to local targets, either, but can follow signals from distant communicators or tags and process optimal routes towards them.

This attachment can be added to any armor with a helmet or visor.

Base Modifiers: Upgrade the ability of checks to track a designated target once. The wearer may designate a target by spending a maneuver while maintaining line of sight to the target, or through sensor and communication equipment such as a Surveillance Tagger. Only a single target can be designated at a time.
Modification Options: 1 Skill (Vigilance) Mod, 1 Skill (Survival) Mod.
Hard Points Required: 1.
Price: 1000 credits.

Comlink

HG-DC p. 53

Many military or otherwise advanced helmets include a Comlink as standard, and it is a fairly simple procedure to attach one to nearly any helmet. Some helmet Comlinks are activated by tapping a button on the exterior of the helmet or somewhere else on the armor, while others are activated by voice or even a particular head motion.

This attachment can be added to any armor.

Base Modifiers: A Comlink (long-range) is integrated into the helmet.
Modification Options: None.
Hard Points Required: 0.
Price: 200 credits.

Integrated Scanner

Most Integrated Scanner systems utilize a heads-up display, projected on the inside of the helmet's visor. Some systems include a retractable mono-visor that extends only while the scanner is in use.

This attachment can be added to any armor with a helmet or visor.

Base Modifiers: While wearing their helmet, the user benefits from a General Purpose Scanner and adds to Perception checks made to detect movement or hidden enemies.
Modification Options: 1 Skill (Perception) Mods.
Hard Points Required: 1.
Price: 1000 credits.

Range Finder

HG-DC p. 54

A system incorporating a simple computer and visual sensors, a Range Finder calculates the distance to any spot in the user's field of vision, feeding precise information to a visor HUD.

This attachment can be added to any armor with a helmet or visor.

Base Modifiers: Innate Talent (Sniper Shot).
Modification Options: 1 Innate Talent (Sniper Shot) Mod.
Hard Points Required: 1.
Price: 1500 credits.

Targeting System

HG-DC p. 54

Targeting Systems integrate an advanced targeting computer and sensor suite, providing a constant stream of data to the user. Depending on the model, this information may be delivered by audio or on a visor HUD. Some particularly advanced systems incorporate small vibro-motors installed in the armor's gloves or gauntlets and wired to the helmet system, which subtly adjust the user's hands to enhance accuracy.

This attachment can be added to any armor with a helmet or visor.

Base Modifiers: The user adds to all Ranged attacks at long or extreme range.
Modification Options: 1 Innate Talent (Natural Marksman) Mod.
Hard Points Required: 1.
Price: 3000 credits.

Amphibious Modification

T-SM p. 57

With the addition of a sealed helmet and oxygen (or other appropriate gas) supply, nearly any suit of armor can be converted into an amphibious suit. Retractable flippers provide humanoids with improved mobility in water and other liquids.

This attachment can be applied to any armor that could logically have an air tank, helmet, and retractable flippers attached.

Base Modifiers: The armor provides enough oxygen (or applicable gas) for up to five hours of submersion or in an airless environment (although it does not protect against vacuum). In addition, the user removes from physical checks due to underwater conditions.
Modification Options: 2 Increase oxygen supply by two hours Mods.
Hard Points Required: 1.
Price: 500 credits.

This attachment can be applied to any armor.

Base Modifiers: As an action. a character may make an Average () Ranged (Light) check to secure the grappling hook to an object within medium range. On success, as an action, they may reel in the cord, pulling themself to the object (or, if the object is unsecured and lighter than they are, pulling it to them).
A character may use the grappling hook to pull another character aloft with them; if they do, they must make an Easy () Athletics check to avoid losing their grip on their partner.
Modification Options: None.
Hard Points Required: 2.
Price: 350 credits.

Integrated Slicer Gear

T-SM p. 58

By integrating a customized computer, dataports, and gesture interface circuitry into worn armor, a slicer can ensure that the tools of the trade are always at hand and almost impossible to lose. A visor-mounted heads-up display or holographic image streams the data the slicer needs, while specially designed gloves or gauntlets allow the slicer to manipulate code using nothing more than gestures and brief voice commands.

This attachment can be applied to any armor.
