Gears of war foam armor templates
The torso part of the armor is more heavily armored than the rest of the body, offering decent protection to vital organs but not sacrificing mobility by bogging down the limbs. While the helmets are standard issue, many Gears chose not to wear them as some feel the optics hinder their field of view or find the helmet a nuisance all together. The armor comes with a selection of helmets that come with an built in filter. The armor provides medium protection against damage, but will not withstand concentrated or sustained gunfire, especially high-caliber Locust weapons such as the Hammerburst and the Troika. On the back of the suit is a magnetic 'holster' that resembles a general infantry backpack, allowing Gears to carry two weapons on their back. It is a light shade of blue with a black Crimson Omen between the armor seals on the front. The most common armor in the COG Army is the standard infantry armor, otherwise known as the Trooper Armor. Standard issue Trooper Armor worn by a COG Gear. With the growing lack of resources, the COG used a combination of Cadet, Trooper and Hot Weather Armor to create Custom Armor. This is to better accommodate 'Gears-in-Training' so they could get used to working around the much heavier and standard-issue Trooper Armor.Īs such, Cadet Armor offers less protection but is much lighter and easier to manufacture.
This set lacks the shoulder pads normally found in the more common Trooper variety and is overall more lightweight and flexible. Cadet Armor is usually worn by newly enlisted Gears.
