Power Armor

The Power Armor replacement for the Pentagram of Protection. A piece of ancient technology, this relic is more powerful than the Powerup it replaces.

Utilizing powerful force fields in combination with a series of arcane radiations and drugs, the duroplast plating is highly augmented for extreme combat situations.

While the Power Armor appears to be a retextured Biosuit, the .MDL file does not work properly with modern Source ports, meaning it will be heavily distorted.

Strategies
The Power Armor is made up of multiple components. Sharing its appearance with that of a Biosuit, the Power Armor also utilizes all of the effects of the aforementioned Powerup, including the ending timeout message. It lasts nearly twice as long however, making it more powerful than the Biosuit, and also making it just as useful for Lava as standard Pentagram of Protection would be. Instead of constantly enduring damage, but not receiving any, the player will just lose health at a much slower rate while the Power Armor is active. This means it is still highly possible to acquire such Secrets as the one in E1M8: Ziggurat Vertigo. Note that this is the only part of the Powerup that runs on a timer, the other effects are permanent.

Furthermore, the Power Armor supplies the user with 500 points of Armor, making it more than twice as powerful as the Red Armor. Unlike the aforementioned, the Power Armor also takes full damage absorption, meaning the player is entirely protected from harm until their armor points run out. Due to engine limits, Armor can only go up to 256 points before the numbers loop over. This means that the player will appear to have 244 instead of 500, the rest will appear once the additional armor points are lost.

In addition to the other affects, the player will automatically have their health set to 200. Note that the maximum a 100 Health can give the player is 250, the 100 Health also increases 100 from wherever the player was, while 200 is a guaranteed health value with the Power Armor. Furthermore, unlike the 100 Health, there is no health rot. Note that this can change if the player already had health rot or picks up a 100 Health after taking the Power Armor (health will decrease back to 100), meaning it is recommended to not combine these two Powerups.

Timeout Message
