Learn how to change and equip armor pieces in Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Discover how DLC armor and mix-and-match sets work, and what to expect from helmets.
Hey there! So, you're wondering about armor in Mass Effect Legendary Edition? It's pretty straightforward, but there are a few things to keep in mind. You can change your armor pieces either in your cabin or, early on, at the Cerberus base. Just remember, when you buy new armor bits, you've gotta head back to equip them – they don't just pop on automatically.
Most of the armor you get from DLCs comes as full sets, which is neat. The basic armor you can find in-game, though, is mix-and-match. The good news is that these basic sets are usually pretty cheap to buy. While some DLC armor, like the Blood Dragon Armor, might be tied to specific power classes (Tech and Bio), you can generally mix and match your in-game armor to get something that's just as good, if not better, than the other options once you start exploring the galaxy and buying gear.
One thing to note: if you're wearing a helmet or a full suit of armor, it'll always be visible, even during cutscenes. The visor-type helmets are a bit less obtrusive, which is nice if you prefer to see your character's face more often. For a full breakdown of stats and where to find specific pieces, you'll want to check out the Armor List in the appendix – it's got all the deets.
