Infantry Armor
Armors can be broadly divided into three categories: protection, mobility, and utility. Designers will try to either balance between two or three of the categories or will focus primarily on one.


 * Armors which focus on protection emphasize armor and shielding in exchange for reduced mobility. These suits generally cover more of the body and feature stronger but heavier plates. These armors may also augment the user's strength. Protective armors may also feature less ports for auxiliary components, as the ports themselves are less durable than the armor surrounding it. Protection armor is most commonly used by a nation's front line fighting forces.


 * Mobility armors are the opposite of protection armors, eschewing protection for the sake of speed, flexibility, and sometimes, stealth. Mobility-focused armors boast a great deal of variety; some armors still over most of the body, albeit in lighter and smaller plates, while more extreme cases cover only the vital areas or are stripped down to their absolute bare essentials, going as far as to lack certain components that may be common in other armors as well as any auxiliary ports.


 * The rarest of the three, utility armors are designed for specialized roles and/or providing support to their allies. Such armors are either purpose-built for their role or feature many auxiliary ports for mission-by-mission customization. Utility armors can perform small-scale construction, produce mobile bubble shields, possess remote-controlled drones, and much more. But while utility armors can be very useful, they can carry the downsides of both protection and mobility armors, as the ports and components reduce the armor's durability and can sometimes weigh the user down. They are also a prime target for enemy forces, often necessitating that they be protected by their allies.
