This tool is only available in PvE mode.
The Armor Kit is a tool used to protect airship components with additional armor. After activation the component gets 312 additional HP, which are counted separately from main HP pool. These extra HP will be consumed first when the component takes damage. The type of HP depends on the type of the target component. Guns, engines and hull armor get 312 armor HP, but balloon gets 312 balloon HP.
The additional points can't be repaired with repair tools, but can be re-activated with the Armor Kit at any time. The Armor Kit block repairs on components with cooldown, just like a regular repair tools.
The additional armor points always take damage first, including damage from pilot tools or Lochnagar Shot. Due to the pilot's tools being a fire damage type, using an armor kit to prevent the balloon and engines from self-damaging is not very effective. The usage on light guns however increases their survivability when using Lochnagar Shot. Light guns like Phobos Mine Launcher or Mercury Field Gun don't break from the first shot when covered with Armor Kit buff.
Controls
The Armor Kit is used in a similar way like the Dynabuff Industries Kit. Left-clicking on a component builds up the charge. Only one enhancement tool can be active on a component at a time. The usage of another enhancement tool will remove all previous charges and replaces the current effect on a component after activation.
