-	Composite plates must be crafted, but unlike regular [[Crafting]] items, specific items must be brought to a [[Workshop]] in order to make them available for sale there - after being successfully produced by the workshop, they will begin selling these plates at a rate of '''1 per workshop visit''', and at a cost of '''2800 P$''' per plate. The composite plates have the advantage of being an unique, exclusive item which the engineers promise to sell to the Contestant only.	+	Composite plates must be crafted, but unlike regular [[Crafting]] items, specific items must be brought to a [[Workshop]] in order to make them available for sale there - after being successfully produced by the workshop, they will begin selling these plates at a rate of '''1 per workshop visit''', and at a cost of '''2800 P$''' per plate.

		+	As indicated in [[Clothing and armor]], it takes '''1 turn''' to insert a plate carrier into a piece of body armor, and '''1 turn''' to remove it. It is also not allowed to place body armor with a trauma plate inserted into the inventory - the trauma plate must first be removed.

	The benefits of wearing armor with a trauma plate include the ability to cut down Pain damage received when struck in the torso. Plates however are limited in their protective ability by three factors: the fact that '''a plate is not designed to protect from anything other than Bullet-type damage''' (Meaning, that if any other damage type strikes a plate wearer, damage is to be calculated as if there was no plate), the fact that '''plates cannot stop bullets indefinitely and will eventually break''', and lastly, the fact that depending on the material of the plate, '''sufficient amounts of damage in one hit may actually overpenetrate and defeat the plate'''. A bullet that manages to defeat the plate will deal as much pain and limb damage to the wearer as if the plate wasn't there at all, while still damaging the plate.

	Trauma plates may be bought in clothes shops, found at random, or found on encounters which carry plates as standard issue equipment.		Trauma plates may be bought in clothes shops, found at random, or found on encounters which carry plates as standard issue equipment.

-	* '''~~Ceramic~~'''	+	* '''Fiberglass'''
-	** Description: Very ~~light and~~ cheap ~~plate~~, ~~it is one of the~~ most ~~common~~ and ~~popular~~. ~~Its main disadvantage is low~~ health~~; while effective~~, ~~it will fail very quickly~~. It is ~~also not suitable against powerful threats~~.	+	** Description: Very cheap and very light, fiberglass sheet plates are essentially improvised armor inserts. While they can stop most low-end threats, from grenade fragments to low-powered handgun rounds, they are not recommended against any 'serious' threats. Fiberglass plates are soft and cheaply made; that means they offer very poor Pain reduction.
		+	** Maximum health: 20 HP
		+	** Pass-through threshold: 9+ dmg (Stops up to 8)
		+	** Pain damage modifier: 0.75x Pain
		+	** Weight: 1 unit
		+	** Cost: 100 P$
		+
		+	* '''Aramid fiber'''
		+	** Description: Aramid fiber plates are soft trauma plates. They are of much higher quality and made to better standards than simple fiberglass sheet plates, being made of the same type of fibers that body armor vests are woven out of. Aramid fiber plates are soft ; they offer poor Pain reduction compared to hard plates, but is still better than fiberglass.

		+	** Cost: 250 P$

		+	* '''Ceramic'''
		+	** Description: One of the most commonly-used types of trauma plate. It is the lightest type of hard trauma plate, and offers a good compromise of weight, affordability, and protection level.
		+	** Maximum health: 40 HP
		+	** Pass-through threshold: 11+ dmg (Stops up to 10)

	* '''Titanium/Steel'''		* '''Titanium/Steel'''
-	** Description: A lighter ~~compromise~~ to light steel, this plate is composed of a thin tile of steel, layered ~~with a tile~~ of titanium. ~~While it is lighter~~ than an ~~light~~ steel plate~~, it also protects less well - on par with a ceramic plate, with nearly twice the health~~.	+	** Description: Better than ceramic, yet a lighter alternative to light steel, this plate is composed of a thin tile of steel, layered between two tiles of titanium. T/S plates are suitable for those seeking a protection level higher than those offered by ceramic plates, but without the cost and expense of an all-steel plate.

	** Description: A medium thickness (5/8ths / 0.625 inch) plate of hardened steel, which offers a compromise between weight and toughness, with price to match. It is designed to stop most intermediate rifle rounds, but do not let it be shot too much by full-power rifles.		** Description: A medium thickness (5/8ths / 0.625 inch) plate of hardened steel, which offers a compromise between weight and toughness, with price to match.

Such plates are tough, hard to destroy, but also expensive and heavy, but few users of this plate will find it unsatisfactory.		** Description: A thick (3/4ths / 0.75 inch) plate of hardened steel, made to withstand full-power rifle rounds (up to and including AP variants).
