An exotic suit of heavy armour plates that gives the wearer the toughness and mobility of a big rock. The Crab Raiders designed this armour with the aim of being more like crabs, with little consideration of other factors.
Crab Armour
Slot: ARMOR Type: Heavy Armour

Crab Armour is a Heavy Armour that is equipped in the Body Armour slot. It is the body armour with the highest cut and harpoon resistance.

It can be crafted if a blueprint is bought from the Crab Raiders and is part of a Crab Armour "set" together with Crab Helmet, Crab Trousers and Crab Shoes.

This armour has inventory dimensions of 4x6.

Appearance[]

The Crab Armour looks like large pieces of brown scrap metal strapped over chainmail that covers the entire upper body. The chest portion is composed of a single, wide ridged plate. Two ridged plates connected to each other cover the stomach, with a smaller plate covering the crotch. A studded, rust-colored shawl covers the neck, shoulders, and upper chest.

Trivia[]

  • 90 is the most Cut Resistance an item can have. If this was not the case, then Crab Armour would have 90.75% Cut Resistance at Masterwork quality.
  • Although Crab Armour has insane damage mitigation, it comes at the cost of a crippling 50% Dexterity penalty, -10 attack as well as a combat speed penalty. It is suggested to use this armour only when training Assassination, Toughness, Attack, Defense or Dodge.
