Back to the oh SHIT suits mentioned earlier...
So light metal plates sandwiched between kevlar provide a small amount of frontal armor, I'm going to keep the anti-decapitation measures, but move the faceshield to the helmet. The ice axes (still getting used to calling them that XD) are strapped to their thighs, and they will be packing a dual set of knives. I'm changing 'no change in loadout at all' to 'Expected gear needed will be on the insertion vehicle' but still mainly unchanging.
Light SHIT suits will pack next-to-nothing, thinner armor and a wingsuit feature and a parachute. The Decapitation protection is also dropped. The light version will only/primarily only be used for aerobatic insertions and as such no primary weapon (SMG, Shotgun, Carbine, Etc) will be able to be carried, relying on two pistols (pretty much Glock18s) for termination of hostiles. Two soldiers will aerobatically maneuver the breaching method (explosive charge) and most of the damage would be from depressurization..
The ordinary SHIT suits feature the aforementioned armor, and have been talked about a lot.
The heavy SHIT suits are built more for the common soldier than the specialist snekky snek guys chasing the protag, and are deployed in riot control and the like when they know that quietness is not an option
There's another tier, Deathsquad SHIT suits. These suits are actually not known to the government (spoiler) and are the pinnacle of the company which produces them. The company (spoilers) is actually planning to overthrow the government with these suits. These suits are more akin to a walking tank than an all-terrain survival suit, featuring an inch of bulletproof glass visor.
So the Normal SHIT suits are primarily used cor counter-terrorism, when shit gets really real the heavies are broken out and the equivilant of the SAS is given the Deathsquad when the company begins to overthrow the government, and the protagonist is on the run from the government because he has the plans for the deathsquad suit and the government know that the plans the protagonist carries are for a superweapon
Right now I need suggestions for the actual build of the suit. The only thing I have right now is that the normal suit has the three metal plates between the kevlar.
