Ironclad Matrix Effects
Ironclad Matrix increases your Railjack’s maximum Hull and Armor, allowing it to withstand more incoming damage before entering critical condition.
The added Armor reduces the amount of damage taken to your Hull, making sustained enemy fire less threatening during intense engagements.
It also improves your Railjack’s Shields, giving you a stronger defensive buffer before enemies can start damaging your Hull directly.
On top of that, increased Shield Regeneration allows your Shields to recover faster between attacks, helping maintain stability during prolonged fights.
With all bonuses active at all times, Ironclad Matrix provides consistent defensive value throughout the entire mission.
