Spiked Armor

Overview

 * Deals 2000 damage to enemies that hit you.
 * Unlocked for players who have the Road to Elysion DLC, at level 25.
 * Spiked Armor will NOT activate against enemies that don't make body contact with vulnerable parts with their attacks (e.g. Screamers, Hoverers).

Notes & tactics

 * A potentially good pick on Haigen, who tends to fight in close proximity with lumes.
 * Hydra Blood perk allows the player to endure more hits and recover faster, thus allowing the player to use Spiked Armor more often.
 * Spiked Armor can help with finishing off Walker Warriors faster when they use their 2-punch attack, getting hit both times will result in 4000 damage.
 * This perk finds use mainly in the Campaign & Easy modes, since in Survival it tends to lose impact over time, due to the increasing health of the enemies.
