The jet armor at the loadout screen.

The jet armor is an armor type found in Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon. While using the jet armor, the player can fly and use energy weapons. Both use up energy, so players must manage their energy use to prevent being unable to reload; not only this, but crashing to earth when your energy has depleted can cause a jet armor user to become stunned for a few precious seconds, which can be the matter between life and death. The jet has very little health, so his strength is with ranged combat; he has access to the best sniper rifles in the game. The armor is based on the Pale Wing class found in EDF 2 and is succeeded by the Wing Diver class found in Earth Defense Force 2025 and Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair.

Description

Although it offers the lightest protection of the three specialty armor types, Jet Armor is the fastest and most manueverable. The integrated Jet system allows the user of this armor to fly. The Jet Armor is also unique in that it utilizes energy weapons, which pull power from the Jet Armor's energy reserves. Flight is the Jet Armor's special ability, and most of its upgrades have to do with either enhancing flight characteristics or increasing energy output/reducing reload power consumption.

Should the Jet Armor's energy reserves be completely depleted they require a short period to fully recover, and during this recovery time the Jet Armor cannot fly or reload any weapons. Fortunately, the operator may still sprint, ground dodge, and any loaded weapons may still be fired. Careful flight management and extensive practice with the Active Reload System are essential to maintaining power reserves at optimal levels. One also must be careful, as running out of energy while in mid-flight can lead to a crash landing, that leaves the user temporarily stunned and more prone to attack.

Assault Rifles

Tier	Gun Name	Description	Cost	Damage	Fire Rate	Ammo	Reload
1	Hasslex B/PX	Building on their early success as the first company to successfully weaponize pre-stabilized plasma; the Hasslex Corporation set the benchmark for plasma assault rifles with the weapon that bears their company name.	Default	25	7.50/s	35	3.00s
2	Neptanzer Q	Created from a modified Assault Blaster platform, the Neptanzer Q adds an unusual and powerful short range energy weapon to the Jet Armor's arsenal. Phased-pulse output modulators allow for a virtual cone of high impact damage projection within a limited range.	1000	4x16	3.00/s	28	2.00s
	Flenser Plaz T	The development of proprietary high-rebound plasma projectiles helped propel Flenser LLC from an obscure manufacturer of whaling equipment to one of the most highly regarded energy weapon companies on earth. The Plaz T was their first model, and while perhaps a bit underpowered compared to later weapons in the series is a viable and interesting weapon nonetheless.	500	42	5.00/s	25	2.20s
3	Hasslex C/PX	The fortunes of the Hasslex Corporation kept rising as the C/PX Plasma Assault Blaster surpassed the B/PX in every possible area and won Hasslex a multitude of new contracts.	2100	48	7.50/s	40	3.00s
	Neptanzer Qt	Tweaked modulation circuitry allows the t variat of the Nepatanzer Q to deliver slightly higher damage output and efficiency.	2500	4x26	3.00/s	28	2.00s

Sniper Rifles

Tier	Gun Name	Description	Cost	Damage	Fire Rate	Ammo	Reload
1	Rhinoctor Plaz 06	The Plasmet D6 is a finely tuned weapon which strikes a balance between energy consumption and firepower. The built in scope utilizes zooming optics systems which integrate nicely into the standard EDF HUD. Zoom: 2x	Starter	196	1.00/s	4	3.00s
	Nilas Cryo Congelator	The Congelator is a sniper beam weapon that fires a supercooled particle beam at near the speed of light. Zoom: 3x	DLC	268	1.43/s	5	2.50s
2	Cepuelta-EPS	The Cepuelta-EPS is a slow firing sniper rifle, with a relatively heavy projectile and high energy consumption. Best used from a distance. Zoom: 2x	Drop	381	0.67/s	4	4.00s
3	Rhinoctor Plaz D6f	The Rhinoctor D6f improves upon the D6 in every department-- firepower, energy consumption and optics. This variant was extensively tested alongside Jet Armor prototypes and was an early sniper weapon of choice. Zoom: 2x	2100	381	1.00/s	4	2.80s
	Cepuelta-EPS v4	The Fourth revision of the Cepuelta EPS turns the tables and cranks up the rate of fire, while dropping the damage done by the individual projectiles-- still maintain an overall higher damage output than the v3. Zoom: 2x	3000	248	2.00/s	8	3.90s
4	Rhinoctor Plaz D7	The Rhinoctor D7 is a better sniper weapon than the D6 in every way. Rhinoctor was very proactive about securing feedback from EDF fighters and injecting that feedback into their design process. Zoom: 2x	3500	761	1.00/s	4	2.80s
	Cepuelta-EPS v2	The v2 Cepuelta enhances distance capabilities with an increased zoom factor and a higher damage projectile. Energy consumption remains about the same. Not a good close range weapon. Zoom: 3x	Drop	1206	0.67/s	4	3.90s
	Plantain Ind. Snapback 5.56	Leave it to Plantain Industries to take all the skill out of sniping with their homing sniper rifle prototype. Zoom: 2.00x Auto Locks: 1 Turn Rating: A	DLC	438	0.91/s	6	2.50s
5	Rhinoctor Plaz D9	Enhanced zoom function, greater muzzle energy and a more stable projectile make the Plasmet D9 superior to all earlier versions of the Rhinoctor Sniper weapon. Zoom: 3x	10000	1523	1.00/s	4	2.80s
	Cepuelta-EPS v5	The v5 version of the EPS escalates the damage and speed. The increased firing rate allows for closer use, as it fires fast enough to cover a rapid fighting retreat. Zoom: 3x	28000	889	2.00/s	10	3.90s
	Plantain Ind. Torchee	The Torchee delivers a heavy incendiary plasma payload to target, swiftly and surely. Zoom: 3x	DLC	1042	---	1	2.50s
6	Rhinoctor Plaz DN9	A complete update of the core systems from the D9 led to the creation of the DN9, praised for its higher power projectiles, while still delivering reasonable efficiency. Zoom: 3x	37500	3002	1.00/s	4	2.70s
	Cepuelta-EPS v3	While still a distance only weapon, the Cepuelta-EPS v3 represents a sort of benchmark in energy sniper efficiency. Damage output is greatly increased, as is efficiency. Zoom: 4x	Drop	4569	0.70/s	4	3.75s
7	Rhinoctor Plaz DV	The DV is the top of the line Rhinoctor Plasmet sniper rifle and is a favorite of Jet Armor veteran recon units. Zoom: 4x	97500	5155	1.00/s	6	2.70s
	Cepuelta-EPS v6	The Cepuelta-EPS v6 blurs the distinction between sniper weapon and battle rifle, with an increased firing rate and much better close in dynamics. Zoom: 4x	250000	3240	2.00/s	12	3.75s
	Plantain Ind. Torchee k	The k variant of the Plantain Industries Torchee is an even more deadly incendiary sniping weapon. Zoom: 4x	Drop	3715	---	1	2.20s
	Lyzander Style	Description	Drop	?	?	?	?
8	Pesticide Rifle	This one of a kind prototype uses bits and pieces of captured Ravager Tech along with highly experimental earth technology. It is designed for one purpose-- to destroy Ravagers. Zoom: 4x Blast Radius: 150m? Consumes entire energy bar when reloading.	Reward	500,000	---	1	3.00s
