User:Octurion/wip4 The CHN-3a Battle Armour is a protective suit. It appears only in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat as a special, unique armor.
Description
An interesting hybrid of the CS-1 Body Armor and CS-3a Body Armor, created by the Clear Sky faction but never evidently fielded by them in large numbers.
Appearance
The suit can only be obtained from Nimble when asking for a body armor at a hefty price of 40000 RU (but it does come with a Tactical Helmet). Novikov, the Ecologist's technician and a former Clear Sky member, recognizes it immediately as his own handiwork, and simply wearing it in his presence will give you a slight discount.
The CHN-3a suit is probably most balanced and versatile armor in Call of Pripyat. It combines good all-around damage and anomaly protection with "utility" (stamina, health and bleeding regeneration) upgrades and four artifact slots, while still allowing the player to pick a helmet. Its biggest downside is the lack of carry weight upgrade.
Interesingly, the Tier 3 Psy Protection upgrade is four times as effective as similiar upgrade on the SEVA or Curtain Helmet, making it very easy to max out the protection bar in the player's inventory. It might be an oversight, as the value is the same as the one on the Respirator.
Trivia
- The suit, despite being designated as '3' like the CS-3a, uses a modified version of the CS-1 model. It lacks most of the pockets, and the pants are modified to show more of Clear Sky's signature blue-white camouflage.
- This suit has the regular CS-3a name in some translations.
- When buying this suit from Nimble, you get a Tactical Helmet along with the suit.
