Powered Armor question

[Cccactus]

Is this even worth getting? Costs 300 supplies and gives no advantage over the EXO suit.

[AnemoneMeer]

Yes. It unlocks the WAR suit.

Which comes with even BIGGER superweapons than the EXO suit.

These would be available for all your soldiers and you can use 2 utility items. It's okay'ish.
I prefer specialised 'proving ground' armor myself. But more choices are better and a one time investment can give you more time to work on other stuff (saving cores for example).
Just up to your playstyle.

All of your soldiers are equipped with Powered Armor once you unlock it, it replaces Preadtor Armor. It also provides all soldiers with 1 armor.

yes. +1 armor rating for everyone
WAR suit is good.

But imagine I already have 5 EXO suits... the upgrade is very small for the cost.

I know I have to research it to get the WAR suit, I'm talking about buying the upgrade.

I guess it's my fault for relying on EXO suits too much :p

The advantage is you get an extra inventory slot on your troops over the EXO. For medics and hackers, this can be huge, as it lets them mount a skulljack AND special ammo, or a medkit and special ammo.

I'm in the middle of researching Powered Armor (10 days left) and have yet to purchase the Predator armor. Should I just wait and buy Powered?

[Waylander]

Powered Armour is amazing. Not just 6hp but gives all your guys an armour point. I suppose if you focused EXO suits I suppose you might not see it being a huge upgrade however focusing on 2nd tier armour isnt the best long term strategy. WAR suits are pretty great though....

wait :) if you managed until now without Predator Armor you can wait 10 days longer :D it's worth the wait

Grazie. I've managed to do okay in the mean time (six squad, two exo and two spider), but figure I'll go ahead and grab the powered and soon as it's finished.
