Flak Armor is a suit slot enhancement available to all non-MAX infantry classes. It is auto-granted at rank 5 to the Engineer, and is otherwise unlocked and upgraded using Certification Points.
While equipped, Flak Armor reduces damage taken from several damage types. These categories are as follows; common explosive, infantry rocket launchers, light anti-vehicle, air to ground warheads, and Tank Mines/C-4. Each rank adds another category in turn to the bonus, starting with common explosives at rank 1, and ending with Tank Mines plus C-4 at rank 5.
Using one of the listed damage types to attack a player with Flak Armor equipped will display a small icon (left) near your crosshair, indicating they have received reduced damage from your weapon.

History[]
- August 15, 2018 Update
- Removed the Tank Shell resistance given at rank 3 and above.
- Removed description’s mention of C4 and Tank Mine resistance prior to rank 5, as these resistances were never actually given at earlier ranks.
- Dev Note: In conjunction with the tank cannon changes mentioned earlier, this means that Lightning, Magrider, and Vanguard HESH, as well as Magrider and Vanguard AP can now one-shot Flak Armor infantry on a direct hit.
