Learning how to get (and equip) armour in BattleBit Remastered - and what it takes to unlock all armour types - is vital if you want to stay alive longer with more protection. 

BattleBit Remastered allows for a lot of customization of your particular soldier, letting you select a class, gadgets, weapons, and of course, armour, which affects your mobility, protection, and how much ammo you can carry in the game. If you're struggling with exactly how to swap out armour in BattleBit Remastered, check our breakdown below. 

How to equip armour

To equip armour in BattleBit Remastered, you'll need to go into the Deployment screen before spawning into a game and select the 'Character' menu from the bottom left. 

In this screen, you can just click the dot on the character's chest and select the armour you want from the menu that appears. Just change and equip the armour pieces that you have unlocked.

How can you get new armours

As you level up in the game, you'll gain new armour types at certain levels that you can equip.
