HVM Kevlar Series

The HVM Kevlar Series is one of the first series of armors the player will see. From the beginning of the game, players of all classes will have an HVM Kevlar Vest with no augment capability as the only armor piece simply to add some defense. This is also the series the player will likely encounter first as its version. It's the weakest armor set. It provides some physical resistance, a little heat resistance, and no toxic resistance until players get RED & BLACK versions, which add toxic resistance alongside higher physical and heat resistance.

Despite being the weakest armor by far, the Black HVM Kevlar set outclasses the Rubicon Hardplate set. This, combining with the fact that HVM Kevlar sets don't come with any movement penalty, makes Black HVM Kevlar valuable at least until players obtain Black armor pieces from Carbon Fibre series or another series.
