Effect
Scales with the host item’s Tier, not the mod’s.
Host Tier Effect Tier 1 +10 HP to this piece and +1 Phys 💎 Hardness, and grants EMP Shielding — immune to the ✨ Stun from EMP X, and half its bonus damage Tier 2 +10 HP to this piece and +1 Phys 💎 Hardness, and grants EMP Shielding — immune to the ✨ Stun from EMP X, and half its bonus damage Tier 3 +20 HP to this piece and +1 Phys 💎 Hardness, and grants EMP Shielding — immune to the ✨ Stun from EMP X, and half its bonus damage Tier 4 +20 HP to this piece and +1 Phys 💎 Hardness, and grants EMP Shielding — immune to the ✨ Stun from EMP X, and half its bonus damage Notes
- +1 💎 Hardness is worth far more on low-tier Power Armor than high. Against Raider PA it turns away roughly a point of damage per hit; against X-01 it is closer to a tenth of one. Take it early, not late.
