The Equipment mechanic is a new feature in Strike Force Heroes 3, the spiritual continuum to SFH2's Armor mechanic. They are also known as Armor Mods in the Slot Machine. There are 3 types of Equipment items: Offensive, Defensive and Utility, although regular Upgrades usually obtained by levelling up one's hero can be put in the spaces where a mod would usually go-- however, these "mod" attachments can only be obtained by the Slot Machine as compared to how regular pieces of Equipment can be found in the shop, waiting for you. In fact, many of these pieces of equipment share the exact same function as the levelling Upgrades, although one is to note that not all Upgrades have Equipment equivalents.
Obtaining[]
There are three categories of Equipment:
- Offensive items give advantage to the hero's combat skills and usually increase damage dealt to enemies.
- Defensive items make the hero stronger, and usually lower damage that he/she takes from certain sources.
- Utility items give more experience, funds or improve killstreaks by allowing them to require less kills or last longer, among other things.
Equipment can be bought in Store or won by the Slot Machine-- the machine also has a chance to offer Upgrades as equipment, so if an upgrade does not have an "equivalent" (i.e. Repair Bots to Nanomachines), one may find it if they gamble hard enough. In the normal store, it appears randomly and the player has ability to buy multiple items from one sort. Buying equipment can automatically sell weapons in shop in lower slots, so be careful while purchasing them.
In the Slot Machine, Equipment win is called Armor Mod. In the machine you can get Equipment items in two forms: normal form (that can also be bought in store) and upgrade. Every equipment item in game has upgrade form, which is actually same as upgrade you unlock by leveling up all heroes. Upgrades have different names than Equipment.
