Templar V68A power armor

"I don’t even have to worry about this weird weather when I’m wearing this thing. I can’t wait to power up and show those modified freaks the right way to enhance a soldier. In the next rev, you’ll be able to drive one of these suits remotely."

- Templar Paladin The Templar V68A power armor is a model of power armor used by the Paladins of the Knights Templar in Deus Ex: Invisible War.

Background
The final version was created in 2072 by the Knights Templar in Cairo. It was created to be an equal opposition against the nano-augmentations. The armor has much better defenses than the MJ-12 Obsidian power armor, and is highly resistant to ballistic and explosive ordinance, allowing an Armored Paladin to survive as much ballistics or explosive damage as a nano-augmented Tarsus Cadet. However, it does not shield against IEM attacks, and also has a weak spot in the back. It is powered by standard bioelectric cells.

Characteristics
Templar V68A power armor equipment includes:


 * Integrated rebreather, making them invulnerable to aerosol, gas weapons or toxicological attacks


 * Heat shielding, gives a high resistance against fire attacks


 * Improved ballistic shielding, provides high protection from small arms fire


 * Self-destruct system, which activates once the wearer dies or falls unconscious


 * Various scanning devices
