Note that once these future armor types are released, different armor types can be used on each section. For example, you can use full stealth armor on you CT, full ferro fibrous on your torso's and arms, and full reflective on your legs. This can be extremely useful if your CT also houses some of your heaviest weapons. Only with stealth armor is it important to equip each section with the same armor type. | Note that once these future armor types are released, different armor types can be used on each section.
