Faraday Vest

Summary
This armor offers protection against Electric Elementals but does not offer protection against Fire Elementals.

This armor also provides protection against the a Charged Brute's Charged Smash and King Cherrycake's sweet shock attack.

Background Story
This highly futuristic vest was developed by the military to combat one of the more deadly threats of the apocalypse: the Electric Elemental. As powerful and as destructive as Brutes are, it turns out that the existence of the Electric Elemental is enough to fry communications lines, take down fragmented infrastructure, and prove far more dangerous to armoured individuals than a Brute ever could. However, as advanced as the Faraday Vest is, what is to note is that this vest is quite flammable. While it does prevent a nasty shock, it can't protect you from a simple matchstick.

After being in development for many months—in total, the first copy of the unfinished armor was stolen by a survivor. Leading the develop of the armor to be delayed by a year.

Tips

 * With the addition of this armor, the game becomes a gamble: will you be seeing more electricity in your life, or will you be seeing more fire?
 * Since Elementals must be low on health in order to become electric, they may intentionally damage themselves using glass.
 * Consider the map. If it happens to have a lot of glass like No Mercy or New Bloxcoast II, consider equipping it.
 * You can use this vest to significantly reduce the effect of Radiation inflicted by Tickers.
 * Use this while playing on a wide and open map. An attack from an Electric Elemental can come from a surprising distance away.
 * In King Cherrycake, this is the most effective armor as it prevents one of his attacks, the sweet shock.
