Armor Generator
The Armor Generator is a Tools gadget introduced in the 17.5.0 update.
Appearance
The Armor Generator takes the appearance of a futuristic station composed of a silver body and two stands. Black outlines the body and various details are colored red and yellow along with various golden accents. In the middle the station rests a hologram projector which projects a neon blue hologram of an Armor symbol. In addition, one of it's stands has a yellow and red antenna implanted on it which shines in-game.
Performance
This Gadget is good for situations when the player wants to play a defensive strategy and recover Armor, it is best in a hiding spot. When used, the player will deploy this gadget in a desired spot, and if they lost any Armor, they can stand on it and recover their armor.
Strategy
Tips
- Use this in sticky situations especially when your teammates are cornered and being attacked by enemies.
- Use this like you would use the Medical Station but only for armor restoration.
- Protect the Armor Generator by strafing around it if enemies are close by, or distracting opponents from attacking it.
- Use this to heal your and your teammates when you are low on armor or don't even have any.
- Keep in mind that this only restores armor lost in battle, and does not recover lost health. So only use this when you are in need of armor.
- Try and place the station somewhere out of danger so it will not get destroyed, but at the same time make sure that it's easy to access, such as around corners or behind walls.
- Keep in mind that this also heals the armor of your teammates, so try and get a couple of them healed up with the Armor Generator as well.
- Use a healing weapon like Heroic Epee to heal health while using this to heal armor.
- Combine it with the Biotic Shield so projectiles won't hit you and the generator while your armor is being restored.
Counters
- It has a fairly small hitbox. Use a Heavy weapon, or any weapon with the Area Damage
Attribute to destroy it. - If there are players around the Armor Generator, aim for the Armor Generator first, then deal with the players after.
- Do not kill the players inside the Armor Generator radius with low damage Primary weapons, because these players can quickly recover their armor so it'd be a waste of ammo. Instead, use Sniper or Heavy weapons and try to aim for the head with the sniper.
- Throw a Nuclear Grenade into the area of this gadget to greatly damage enemies.
- Use a weapon or gadget with the Gravitational Force attribute to pull players away from the area of this gadget, such as the Eraser or Singular Grenade.
- Use a pet such as the Cyber Phoenix to block the use of gadgets temporarily.
- Prevent people who are equipped with the Armor Generator from planting it with a Disabler. It will prevent them from activating it for a period amount of time, which allowing you to deal large amounts of damage to them or even kill them if given the chance. Weapons with the Disabling Gadgets attribute may also be used.
