Assisted Combat Personnel Armor

Assisted Combat Personnel Armor (ACPA), otherwise known as Powered Armor (PA), refers to a combat environment suit that has been reinforced with composite armor and assists the wearer in carrying its own weight as well as additional equipment and weaponry. It uses a more powerful advanced linear frame commonly referred to as a "chassis".

Overview
An ACPA greatly increases the survivability and strength of a PA Trooper. A trooper can deadlift 90% of their suit's maximum weight capacity and carry up to 50% maximum weight capacity with no noticeable encumbrance.

Many ACPA also have a suit initiative bonus (SIB) that provides increased speed (MA + SIB).

ACPA are powered by a combined fuel cell/battery unit that lasts 24 hours and can be replaced in the field. All ACPA are considered watertight down to 30 meters, and have a filter/rebreather system that allows for 1 hour of sealed operation. The filter system also works on dry land.

Examples of ACPA

 * Militech Commando
 * Arasaka Standard B
 * Zetatech Grasshopper
 * Arasaka "DaiOni" - first interlocked cyborg body/ACPA
