Rigid, High-Density, Non-Metal

This includes all predominantly non-metal armor that mimic the construction standards of metal armors from Tiers 4/5/6 with the sole exception being that they are constructed with a non-metal in place of metal.

Requirements:

• As per the style it is mimicking, other than thickness.
• Material density must be at least 0.9g/cm3 (HDPE).
• Minimum Thickness of 1/8” / 0.13” / 3.2mm

Examples of Superior Construction include, but are not limited to:

• As per the style it is mimicking, other than thickness.
• Thicker Material: At least 3/16” / 0.19” / 4.8mm
• Reinforced: Durability is meaningfully enhanced with other materials in a way that doesn’t qualify for higher tiers.
