| — Gunner's Breastplate In-game description |
The Gunner's Breastplate is the Warden Armour Uniform, which reduces small arms damage by -50%, and reduces bleed chance by -25%. When equipped, the uniform adds 45% encumbrance, which reduces overall movement. The uniform only has 3 inventory slots, which makes it the smallest inventory slot for all uniforms. The warden uniform also unique in that it reduces Bayonet and Melee damage by 60%. This means a Warden wearing this uniform cannot be instantly killed in melee combat.
The only two ammo types that stack in the uniform are 8mm and .44 (3 per slot).
Upon death, this uniform is permanently destroyed and cannot be recovered. Warden players are unable to equip any uniform that belongs to the Colonials, and visa versa.

Tactics
Due to the added encumbrance of the Armour Uniform, it is very useful for open top vehicle crews (Field Guns, Half-Track gunner, etc) where the crew is extremely vulnerable to infantry attacks. This also applies to Tripod users, as being stuck in a static firing arc makes you vulnerable to flanking infantry.
