Armor is an individual Stat that can reduce 
Damage. The exact formula is not figured yet. Helmet-wearing Specialists are noted to be protected from negative effects of headshots on the first hit to the head.
1 is noted to negate 1 . Although, armor itself doesn't protect from 
Killshots.
Vehicles, such as the 
Light Tank, are shielded by default, rendering small arms ineffective, usually requiring concentrated fire in lack of anything suitable to be destroyed. With sufficient munitions, a canned trooper can be relatively safe from Rats, right until the moment he runs out and abandons his überwaffe. However, armored Vehicles are less useful against explosives, as explosives deliver double damage to Vehicles.
Any effect of armor can combine with the damage reduction of 
Heavy Armor (which technically may not be armor at all).
Ways to Alter Armor
Improving
- Manning
Vehicles (the pilot can't be Fatally Shot):
- Helicopters (+1 ).
- Light Tanks (+2 ).
- Heavy Tanks (+3 ).
-
- Wearing a Full Metal Balaclava (+1 for the head, 50% chance to be Fatally Shot in the head, no negative effects for being head-shot non-fatally (no +100% )). In conjunction with Helmets, first hit deals no damage.
- Wearing a Bulletproof Vest (+1 for the torso, 50% chance to be Fatally Shot in the torso (heart and both lungs)).
Deteriorating
- Utilizing Launchers or explosive Grenades (negate armor).
- Utilizing Desert Eagle (negates Armor).
- Utilizing Thompson (negates Armor).
- Firing Armor-Piercing Shells (negate Armor).
