Do you want to know how the new armor system works in Warzone 2? Warzone 2  has brought a new Al Mazrah map, DMZ mode,  and many other changes to the game. One of the most notable changes is the new armor system. The armor provides an extra layer of protection, reducing the damage you take from enemy fire. It works with your health, allowing you to take more hits before you go down. The new Armor System is different from its predecessor in Warzone 1. This guide will teach you how the new armor system works in Warzone 2.

How Does The New Armor System Work in Warzone 2?

The new Armor System in Warzone 2 allows you to equip only two armor plates by default, and you need to loot an Armor Satchel to have the third one. In the previous Armor System, you could have three armor plates and carry five others in reserve. Also, you could add another three Armor satchels and boost your carrying capacity.

So, in Warzone 2, you have to start with level 1 or 2  armor plates. Level 1 and level 2 armor plates are the basic armor plates that provide little protection from bullets and explosives. You can also find level 3 armor plates in the game, which provide much better protection from bullets and explosives, especially for one-shots headshots down.

This is more like a tier Armor System similar to Apex legends. However,  the problem with the tier armor System is that it can be unbalanced if one person has level 3 armor plates and the other does not. On the other hand, Level two and three armors should not be relatively rare in the game, so you should not worry too much about it.

Also, Warzone 2 has added a color coordination rarity system to plating mechanics. This allows you to identify the armor rating of enemies with a new color coding system. When healing, it will cure one full plate without replacing the last partially damaged plate. It is also something new in the second installment of Warzone.

Warzone 2 follows the trend of other popular games by implementing a tier armor system. This new system makes the game more challenging but adds to the excitement and anticipation of finding better armor plates while playing. We are curious to see how this change affects the overall gameplay and strategy for Warzone 2 players.

Warzone 2.0 is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
