Armor (Q2)

"There are three armor types: Flak Jacket, Combat Suit, and Body Armor. Each one provides a certain amount of protection against both normal attacks and energy weapon attacks. If you take enough hits, your armor strength depletes down to nothing. So seek out unused breast plates. Pick up and salvage armor that is not as good as your current armor to improve your armor health."

- Quake 2 Manual

In the Quake 2, Armor is a Powerup that absorbs a certain amount of any damage. When an Armor is picked up, the player gains a certain amount of Armor points depending on how much of an Armor is used. The absorption rate depends on the type of Armor. Armor Shards can be used to "repair" damaged Armor or stack enough shards to "make" new Armor.
