Ballistic armor

Ballistic Armor is an item in Deus Ex use to provide protection against bullets, lethal melee weapons, and explosions for a limited amount of time.

Use
Ballistic armor provides resistance to the following damage types:


 * Ballistic – Damage caused by bullets and lethal melee weapons.
 * Turret Shot – Damage caused by the gunfire of turrets.
 * Sabot – Damage caused by sabot rounds of shotguns.
 * Explosion – Damage caused by explosive projectiles (excluding plasma bolts) and exploding objects.

The amount and duration of resistance depends on the Environmental Training skill as follows: The function of ballistic armor overlaps with the function of the Ballistic Protection augmentation (which provides resistance against ballistic and turret shot damage, but not sabot and explosion damage), and also overlaps with the function of the Energy Shield augmentation (which provides resistance against explosion damage, among other damage types). When two sources of resistance are active, they are applied as sequential percentage reductions.
