Armor Traits

This article is a stub. You can help Helldivers Wiki by expanding it and joining the Discord.

Each of the Armor Sets has a trait that enhances and differentiates it from the other armors. This is separate from the armor class (Heavy, Medium, Light) although some traits are only found in some classes.
