Insulated Armor Plating

 was a defense slot upgrade available to all vehicles. It was unlocked upon completion of the Insulation mission in Chapter 1 of the Shattered Warpgate campaign.

While attached, Insulated Armor Plating dampened the effect of the electrical storms that occured on Esamir. The plating prevented the storm from affecting the handling of the vehicle, and halved the damage the vehicle received from lightning strikes.

In addition, the accumulation of Tempest on the vehicle, which built toward an overload that guaranteed a high-damage lightning strike on the vehicle, was slowed by approximately 25%.

With the construction of the Containment Sites, the electrical storm on Esamir was quelled, and this upgrade lost its use case despite remaining in the game until the end of chapter 3.
