The Hammer of Valhalla will also grant a pip of armor on a successful swing at Level 1. Within Zombies, temporary Armor can be obtained whenever a player activates their Special Weapon, which will instantly grant two pips of armor that will negate 50 damage worth of health loss. Damaged armor can be repaired by utilising Armor Plating on it to patch it. Much like the Mutliplayer counterpart, Armor has finite health and will be destroyed if enough damage is taken.
Higher levels of armor can be identified easier due to being distinctively more bulky. Higher the level, the stronger the armor is. Within a round of Blackout, Armor can be scavenged from around the map ranging from Level 1 to 3. Guns with FMJ destroy armors faster, killing an armored player also gives extra points to the killer. Notably, it is the only gear with negative affects for the user, and the only gear that can be destroyed. Once the armor is destroyed, the player will regain their normal movement speed however the armor will be gone until the player respawns.
Body Armor appears in Multiplayer as an equippable gear that reduces damage from bullets at the cost of a slower movement speed.
