For a list of armor items, see Category:Armor.

Armor in Underrail reduces damage via one of two mechanics, percentage-based damage resistance (DR) or damage threshold (DT).

When you take damage, your armor will either reduce it by the amount specified by the damage resistance or by the flat amount specified by the threshold, whichever is greater, not both.[1]

Thus, higher DT is better against faster attacks that deal less damage (such as SMGs, knife attacks, etc), while higher DR is better against heavy attacks (snipers, sledgehammers, etc).

Durability

Since version 0.1.7.0, most weapons and armor have durability. This means you must periodically use repair kits to keep your gear in working order. Once an armor's durability has been degraded enough, your UI will notify you that you have a Degraded Armor and the armor will provide reduced bonuses. Gear that has reached 0 durability cannot be used and provides no bonuses, but they can still be repaired back to normal. Equipped armor with 0 durability still provides any penalties it may have.
