This article describes the Armor from Pixel Gun 3D. If you're looking for the standard Armor of Pixel Gun World, see Armor (PGW).
The Armor is a piece of equipment added in the 8.1.0 update and has various upgrades. Its primary use is to protect its user from damage sources. As of 23.3.0, the player will start with the basic light wooden armor, and will unlock different costumes for the armor as they increase their account level. The armor can be upgraded to match the player's level, up until level 65.
Before, it is recommended to upgrade armor every few levels instead of upgrading it after reaching each level to save a large number of 
.
- For example, instead of spending 300
for every upgrade in 10 levels for a total of 3,000 , the cost slightly increases and it becomes around 350 when upgraded at the 10th level, saving 2,650 .
Upgrade Path (outdated)[]
Clan Exclusives[]
In the 17.6.0 update, Clan Armor was introduced with even more efficiency than a normal armor could have, along with included buffs and debuffs. They can only be purchased in the Wear section of the Clan Store. The armors come in 4 types — Wooden, Steel, Golden, and Crystal — with each resembling their own division. Your clan does not have to be in the exact division as the clan armors in order to get them (eg. Wooden Armor in Gold League clans).
Unlike normal armor, clan armors can be purchased with coins, and the armor will automatically be at your level when purchased. If there are upgrades available, it can also be upgraded with coins or gems.
Note: The armor durability was calculated and proven by Pixel Gun 3D YouTuber Drot. The demonstration can be found in this video.

Other Armors[]
In the 17.7.0 update, Advanced Combat Armor was introduced. It is the first Mythical armor in the game. Like the Clan Armor, it some buffs, but no debuffs. It can only be obtained from the Starter Pack offer on levels 3-12, along with some other items, such as a unique skin and a randomly generated pair of the following weapons: Offensive Rocket System, Harsh Punisher, Manual Inferno, Advanced Scout Rifle and formerly Headhunter Pistols. If you buy the armor, it will be automatically upgraded to your level when bought and it will stay with you forever, even after reaching levels 13 and above. Just like with other armor, it will need to be upgraded to your current level with gems/coins to keep it at its full efficiency. (160 health points)
In the 18.0.0 update, the Developer Armor was introduced. It is the second Mythical armor in the game. It is obtained from the Super Chest from the Game Developer Lottery. The Armor, when obtained, is normally automatically upgraded to your level. However, some people reported that they received their armor at level one. Just like other armors, it will get less efficient as the player's level increases and will have to be upgraded again for full efficiency.
In the 18.1.0 update, the Inflatable Armor was added. It is very similar to the Developer Armor, except instead of health and armor regeneration, it reduces the cooldown of gadgets. It is essentially a Golden Clan Armour except with more Movement Speed and Jump Height.
In the 22.2.0 update, the Ultimate Defense Armor was added. The first armor in history to reach 180 health points. Also the first armor that needs to be collected from parts in the set.
In the 22.3.0 update, the Black Dragon Armor was added. The second armor in history to reach 180 health points. You also could collect parts, or wait for a black dragon set offer to pop up.
In the 22.4.0 update, the Stardust Armor was added. Unlike other armors, it only adds a small amount of health, but is capable of very strong regeneration of health and armor (140 health points)
In the 22.5.0 update, the Dope Windcheater armor was added. It is similar to stardust armor, it only adds a small amount of health, But greatly increases the chance of headshots, It seems that this armor is not used to defend yourself. (Armor 140 health points)
Note: the rest of the armor above do come back in events or event chests.
In the 23.2.0 update, the Space Delivery armor was added, and could be obtained in the Milky way event, same way of getting the weapon Spring Snatcher, but this time, it requires 65 wins. (160 Health Points)
Note: The armor durability was calculated and proven by Pixel Gun 3D YouTuber Drot. The demonstration can be found in this video.

Modules[]
As of 16.2.0, instead of counting its durability, its power capacity is counted. However, the armor percentage does increase after buying every upgrade of the armor. Moreover, after reaching a new level, the power capacity of armor increases of 1.
There are six modules used for armor:
- Armor Kinetic Module: Adds kinetic defense.
- Armor Magic Module: Adds magic defense.
- Armor Energy Module: Adds energy defense.
- Accelerator: Increases movement speed.
- Repair Kit: Introduces armor regeneration, and the more upgraded it is, the faster regeneration is.
- Camouflage: Introduces hiding distance, and the more upgraded it is, the lower the hiding distance is.
Like any weapon, the armor has 3 slots in which the modules can be inserted to. However, unlike the weapons, armor does not have any unique ability for a module combination like the Oracle, or the Stone Skin.

Trivia[]
- Armor and Helmet Armor points worked separately in multiplayer. Armor only defended against body shots and helmet defended against headshots. Armor points given by pickups were added to the general pool, and monster damage also hit the general armor point pool.
- Armor would have pieces of the next armor type's main material. For example, if the player has Wooden Armor of any level upgrade, they will see it has pieces of iron on it. And iron will have gold on it. Ruby Armor has three materials; Ruby (main material), diamond, and adamant. This also was visible for helmets.
- However, Adamant Armor didn't have too much red and didn't even have light gray or black, which are the main colors for its successor, Champion Armor.
- Champion weapons were added later (the Champion Peacemaker, the Champion Solar Cannon, the Anti-Champion Rifle, the Champion Electric Arc and the Champion Mercenary) after the introduction of the Champion Armor.
- When the armor is unequipped, picking up armor pickups used to put the armor on unintentionally. Now, picking up armor would have its sound effect, but will not give extra armor.
- Pro League is the only league that doesn't have a respectively themed armor.
- The “strong“ regeneration of health and armor from the Wooden Clan Armor isn’t very strong, with 2 health and/or armor every second. However, it could be a lifesaver in certain scenarios.
- Newbie Armor is one of the few armors that cannot be equipped freely, as it is only usable for 3 matches after the starter tutorial.
- Clan Armor cannot be used if that user's clan isn't in the respective league. For example, one cannot use Gold Clan Armor if his/her clan isn't in Golden League or above.
