How To Restore Armor In Space Marine 2
In the Operations and Eternal War game modes, yourarmor class isdetermined by the class you are playingas. Most classes have an armor class of three, while two have an armor class of two. Your armor class number is how many bars of armor you’ll have under your health bar. There are a few ways for players to restore armor:
Outside Of Combat
In the brief sections during missions whenall nearby enemies have been killed, your armor will regenerate to full, simply running away from enemies doesn’t work if they are still chasing you.
Perform Executions
Executions can be done on most NPC enemies andrestore roughly a full bar’s worth of armor. Performing an execution also makes you invincible during the animation, helping you avoid incoming damage while regenerating armor.
Bulwark Chapter Banner
TheBulwark’s special abilityisChapter Banner, which gives asmall aura that regenerates armorfor all nearby allies. The Banner is temporary and has a long cooldown but is highly effective during combat.
How Is Armor Different In PVP
In PVP, your armor will start regenerating much faster and the beginning of this is based on distance to nearby enemies. Being in combat is determined by taking damage, and avoiding incoming damage for a few seconds will have your armor regenerate. Melee attacks in PVP also cut through any armor, making melee very effective against any class.
