Armor is a type of collectible in Tools of Destruction, used to reduce damage. Ratchet can purchase armor sets from GrummelNet armor vendors with bolts, unlocking new sets upon progressing through the story.
Purchasing all the armor is not actually required for the final skill point "The Hardest of Core".
History[]
Two of the armors Ratchet purchased from the GrummelNet vendor were ancient and date back to the Great War. The Terraflux armor is historical, having been used by elite cragmite assassins; it is constructed from triple-stitched Werthog scales plated with durable raritanium.[1] Comparably, the Trillium armor was engineered at the Center for Advanced Lombax Research and contains a bionic endoskeleton galvanized with trillium ore.[2]
The Blackstar armor was designed by Captain Blackstar himself, utilizing biostatic nanomytes, and was marketed as "anti-mutiny defense wear".[3] The Helios armor was engineered by the Kerchu Phalanxes of Jasindu, featuring three layers of cryofoam and duraplate omniguards.[4]
