Body Armor

Body Armor is equipment in the form of protective clothing. It is used by Cate Archer, the UNITY Intercept Team and John Jack (the player controlled characters) to prevent some types of damage.

No One Lives Forever
In The Operative: No One Lives Forever, Santa instructs Archer on the use of Body Army in her first Advanced Field Tactics course. He noted that Archer would not have the opportunity to heal while on a mission so she would have to rely on Body Armor to protect her. Santa also warned that some type of damage would ignore Body Armor such as falling or running out of oxygen.


 * One of the rewards for collecting Intelligence items on each mission was a higher Body Armor rating which provided more protection.

No One Lives Forever 2
A major change in the game for No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way allows the player to heal with Bandaids and First Aid Kits. However Body Armor is still the primary means of protection in the game. Another difference is that Body Armor came in two varieties. Light Body Armor and Heavy Body Armor.
