Plated Armor is a Tier 4 Vitality Item that can be purchased from the Shop for  6,400.

Notes

• The chance for Deflection and On-hit Prevention is rolled individually, although Deflection will prevent most effects that On-hit prevention does. They can both trigger at the same time. This is most evident when testing Headhunter against Plated Armor.
• If a bullet is deflected, it will fly off in a different direction, maintaining its damaging capability.

Interactions

Note: Anything missing from this list has not been tested, and therefore may or may not be affected by Plated Armor.

Weapons

Blocked by both Deflection and On-Hit Prevention:

• Spreadshot weapons ( ): Triggers at once for all pellets. All pellets are deflected as though they are a single shot.
• Burst weapons ( ): Applied per bullet.
• Celeste: When deflected, an extra projectile is created. The original projectile can ricochet, as normal, and a new projectile is shot out in a random direction. The new projectile also ricochets.
• Graves: When deflected, it does not ricochet, although a visual bug might appear where a bullet projectile is created. This bullet cannot hit enemies.
• Paige: When deflected, an extra projectile is created. The original projectile pierces, as normal, and a new projectile is shot out in a random direction.
