As a variant of the standard armor worn by the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]], the UA/PPE variant shares many similarities. This version of the battle armor is specifically designed to aid an ODST in CQB-type combat conditions. The standard left pauldron is replaced with a longer two-piece ballistic plate, which aids in protecting the trooper's upper body while in a firing stance, and also to reduce severe injury from plasma-based weaponry. The helmet is also issued with an optics device that aids the user in relaying images and video to teammates or command. | As a variant of the standard armor worn by the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]], the UA/PPE variant shares many similarities.
