Soldier Equipment
Each soldier can carry an armor, primary weapon, secondary weapon, and whatever pieces of loadout will fit in the 5x5 Tactical Vest grid.
During missions stunned enemies may be carried in the soldier's inventory. Stunned enemies take 3x4 squares of inventory space.
Once the Buzzard Jetpack engineering project has been completed xenonauts can be equipped with a jetpack at the cost of 5 Carry Weight.
Armor
Armor provides Armor HP. Armor HP absorbs incoming damage before it is applied to the xenonaut's HP. Certain weapons ignore Armor however. If a xenonaut dies its armor may or may not be lost depending on campaign settings.
