Zone Armour

A type of body armor invented by GDI to replace their ageing Combat suits. It is a type Powered armour specially designed to operate in Tiberium infested environments. The fact that it's powered means that the suit can be much bulkier and heavily armored than ordinary armor and the wearer can wield weapons that would otherwise not be man-portable. The resultant infantry is more akin to a light vehicle or miniature mech than infantry in the traditional sense.

The first suits were deployed by Zone Troopers and Zone Raiders during the Third Tiberium War. By the Fourth Tiberium War they had become standard issue equipment issued to all GDI infantry.
