Resistance

Resistances are percentage modifiers to damage that only affects a certain type of damage.

Resistances are applied before protection.

Armor resistance only prevents damage from hits, while boot resistance only applies to damaging fluids (i.e. Acid and Lava). Resistances from all other sources will stack with your torso and foot resistances; for example a Marine wearing Red armor while under the Envirosuit effect will result in you having 70% fire resistance, 45% acid resistance, and 20% plasma resistance (25% fire resistance from the Red armor + 25% fire and acid resistances from Envirosuit + 20% inherent energy resistances of the Marine). However, resistances cannot be increased beyond 95%, with the exception of certain equipment inherently having 100% resistance.

Certain enemies may have resistances too, which apply to both damage from being hit and damage from fluids. Enemies that can wear armor will additionally gain the resistances of that armor, which will also stack with their inherent resistances if they have any; for example if a Baron of hell nabs an Energy-shielded vest, it will have 50% resistances to fire and plasma, as well as a 95% resistance to acid (50% energy resistances from the vest + the Baron's 50% acid resistance, capped at 95%)

Resistances below 0% indicate a weakness, which will increase the damage instead of reducing it.

The chart below lists the resistances of all armors and boots, as well as all beings, other items, effects and traits that have resistances or grant resistances.

For assemblies:

Base means it keeps the original resistance.

Half means the original resistance is halved.

+/-/x modifiers apply to the original resistance.
