'''Heavy armor''' provides more protection than [[light armor]], nearly nullifying the damage from small biters (from 7 damage to 0.7) as well as providing respectable protection from medium biters, spitters and worms. Additionally, it provides excellent protection against accidental self-inflicted damage from [[grenade]]s.  
Available early after the development of [[Steel]], Heavy armor may seem expensive for the novice factory builder but it is well worth the cost. The protection it provides is a class above [[Light armor]], nearly nullifying the damage from small biters (from 7 damage to 0.7) as well as providing respectable protection from medium biters, spitters and worms. In addition it provides excellent protection against accidental self damage from [[Grenade]]s.  
 
Tragically the weakest point of Heavy armor is that the Engineer will break far more easily than the armor. Health damage can be healed with a steady supply of [[Fish]], but increasing personal durability requires the use of [[Energy shield]]s and thus the development of [[Modular armor]].
 
Heavy armor's item stacking is similar to that of [[Repair pack]]s. Multiple armors can be repaired by merging them together, and splitting a stack will leave all the fractional durability damage on a single armor.

Heavy armor provides more protection than light armor, nearly nullifying the damage from small biters (from 7 damage to 0.7) as well as providing respectable protection from medium biters, spitters and worms. Additionally, it provides excellent protection against accidental self-inflicted damage from grenades.
