Effects
Grants (Attack + Power) Maximum Health. Grants (Attack + Power) Maximum Energy. Attack Strength set to 0. Power Strength set to 0.

Earthmetal Plating is a Prototype Augment. When obtained, it increases the player's Maximum Health and Maximum Eneregy equal to the sum of their Attack Strength and Power Strength, and then sets their Attack Strength and Power Strength to 0. If the sum of the player's Strength stats is negative, then it decreases the player's Maximum Health and Maximum Energy instead.

Collecting System Restore will restore the player's lost Attack Strength and Power Strength.

When playing as a Revenant, the change to Maximum Health and Maximum Energy is increased by 50% (rounded down), regardless of whether it is positive or negative.

Synergies

• If the player has 4 Thorned Hull or Juiced Reserves, any loss to Attack Strength or Power Strength respectively will be instantly recovered.
  • Similarly, if the player has more than 4 Thorned Hull or Juiced Reserves, then picking up Earthmetal Plating results in a net positive in damage output.

Trivia

• Earthmetal Plating makes a reappearance in 30XX ( Earthmetal Plating), although the effect is very different.
