Augmented Gear gives Armor and Weapons a bit more depth and progression path.
- All Armors have their armor and durability slightly increased
- Guardian Armor between Flak and Riot
- Obsidian and Guardian Sword to offer upgrades in melee combat
- Obsidian Arrows to offer Crossbow damage progression
The rebalanced armor is intended to be used with relatively low Loot Quality, so you can get decent armor values without the exceedingly high costs of high-level blueprints - which are otherwise used to bridge the gap in gear progression.
The Guardian armor and weapons use the Manticore Armor/Weapon skins from Scorched Earth, which are otherwise quite a bit underused in ARK.
All new pieces are added to common Supply Drops, without remapping the drops, which means it should be stackable with other mods doing similar things. However if you use a mod that remaps the Supply Drops, these additions may not be present.
