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.

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.
