Stalker Armour

Stalker Armour much like its cousin vagabond armour is highly popular modular armour for bounty hunters that come in all colours, shapes and sizes. The armour protects user while not sacrifice mobility need for the profession. The plates are made from a mixture of durasteel and armorplast to get a good mix between strength and weight. The gauntlets or helmet have sometimes been seen with phrik or Cortosis-weave as some hunters go after lightsaber wielders. As standard with most helmets, a built in comlink lays within the helmet to allow for easy communication and a voice projector.

While each set of armour has its own unique look, most share common functions across all the designs. the gauntlet bola Launcher is a useful addition to a bounty hunters arsenal. tangling for in a strong, durable fibre to slow down them down or even capture a target. while the wire is strong, a vibroblade would easily cut through it never mind a lightsaber. so its use is best used for tangling an opponent's feet. The gauntlet Electro-dart shooter is another common tool equipped with the armour, it's usefulness against armour is limited since armour plates will just shrug off the bolt with ease but unarmored areas it will easily pierce through and apply its electrical shock. The third most common feature is something every bounty needs if they want the advantages they can get when chasing a target so the stalker armour usually has some method of greater mobility whether it be a jetpack, mag-boots, or grappling hook this help immensely in chasing down targets or if a target is too difficult, an easy escape from the danger.

Functions

Function 1: Gauntlet-integrated bola Launcher
  • The gauntlet bola Launcher is a useful addition to a bounty hunters arsenal. Tangling a foe in a strong, durable wire to slow down them down or even capture target, while the wire is strong a vibroblade would easily cut through it, never mind a lightsaber. so its use is best used for tangling an opponent's feet to slow them down. it's limited to a single shot, takes several seconds to reload and has a max range of 12 meters.
Function 2: Gauntlet-integrated Electro-dart shooter
  • The gauntlet Electro-dart shooter is another common tool equipped with the armour, it's usefulness against armour is limited since armour plates will just shrug off the bolt with ease but unarmored areas it will easily pierce through and apply its electrical shock. the electrical shock is equivalent in strength to a standard stun blaster, using 2 darts will knock out most humanoids, bigger species such as Wookiees may not fall unconscious even if all darts are used. the dart shooter has 3 darts before a reload but reloading can only be done out of the field and has a max range of 25 meters
Function 3: Mobility Option
  • (Pick one) The mobility option varies from a grappling hook, which uses a strong, durasteel fibre cable that can reach out to 20 meters and is used for either escape or movement. A jetpack with enough fuel for 10 minutes of continuous flight. Simple and easy to control and a built in safeties prevent activation of the jetpack when damaged to avoid potential injury to the wearer and Mag-boots for use in case there is a loss of gravity or the need for climbing a metal surface.

I dig it. Just a few points:

Gauntlets OR Helmet for lightsaber resistance, not both. And please make it clear that the mobility option must be "pick one", and not all three.

Could we say the electro darts are equivalent in strength to a standard stun blaster? Otherwise were going To run into the problem of what "3-4 seconds of involuntary muscle contradictions" actually means in a PvP. Easier to equate it to something that we've already got.
