Learn about armor in Quake III Arena: Red Armor (100 points), Yellow Armor (50 points), and Armor Shards.
Armor is crucial in Quake III Arena because it absorbs two-thirds of all damage you would otherwise take, meaning more armor directly translates to less damage to your health.
You should always be on the lookout for more armor. Pay special attention to Armor Shards; collecting 10 Armor Shards grants you 50 armor points. Keeping track of their locations can help you reach over a hundred armor points quickly.
Once your armor value exceeds 100 points, you will slowly lose one armor point per second until your armor value returns to 100.
Armor Values:
- Red Armor: 100 points
- Yellow Armor: 50 points
- Prioritize collecting Armor Shards to maintain a high armor level.
- Be aware that armor above 100 points decays over time.
- Understanding armor mechanics is key to survival in Quake III Arena.
