Iron blooded orphans nano laminate armor.

Guess they didn t tell the developers about the beam thing. Nano laminate armour passive 20 pts ranged weapons used in a shoot or aimed shot action against this unit temporarily lose the p tag if they are beam class weapons or not within 6 of this unit. Nanolaminate armor a special metal paint that reacts to ahab particles is vapor deposited onto the surface of the armor of mobile suits and ships. However remember that the whole point of armor is to protect the frame and while the armor is covered in nano laminate the frame is not and attacking a heavily armored unit in joint sections is the best way to take it down.

Explosive class weapons and non beam class weapons with the b tag however instead temporarily gain the p tag. Of course it s durable it has to be to hold up that much armor.

The nano laminate armor that covers mobile suits makes firearms unable to score decisive hits. Nano laminate armor offers 50 bonus damage reduction against physical attacks but does nothing to beam weapons.
