Some armour though genuinely does look like it will protect you.

But shoulder armour is just a weird attachment that wouldn’t really ever be useful. While most chest pieces seem to be split between somewhat functional but also “style over substance” pieces and the Warframe equivalent of hood ornaments, chest plates seem to be alright. The shoulder plates just sit weirdly on your upper arms.Ī lot of armour is like this, little dangly bits on your shoulders with an attachment on your ankles as well. The Porta and Edo chest plates might be a bit tiny but the arm and leg pieces offer some protection, right? Well, the leg pieces will protect your shins. Of course, there are pieces that protect more parts of you.

On a lot of Warframes, they don’t even sit anywhere where they could protect them. There’s no protection to be had by these plates. But none of these pieces would provide actual armour, they’re just little shiny bits that hang off our arms and legs. Which amazingly has THREE variants: normal, prisma and solstice.

The armour in Warframe is kinda weird and ill-fitting and quite often not armour at all. I mentioned the other day how the Lodestar Armour Bundle looked really cool but annoyingly floated in mid air rather than being connected to your Warframe’s body, but frankly that article has gone and opened up a can of worms and 500 word rambles.
