Armor Modules
Once you have any modular armor you gain access to various general purpose enhancements, which can be free added or removed from any armor. While all of them are capable of fitting in even the Basic modular armor their usefulness greatly depends on player choice, there are no specific best modules, although some are made obsolete by later versions.

Portable solar panels are the basic power generating units for modular armor and the spidertron. They provide only a small amount of power, and only during the daytime.
Portable solar panels can be used to slowly recharge energy shields out of combat, but are nearly useless for personal laser defense or exoskeleton, even with a large number of batteries.
Portable solar panels are 1×1 in size and are therefore primarily used in modular armor, which has a 5×5 grid that cannot usefully hold a much more powerful 4×4 portable fusion reactor. (It could store one, but there would be no room for anything to use the power.)
The more advanced armors should almost always use portable fusion reactors instead.

Portable fusion reactors are advanced power generating modules for modular armor, power armor, power armor MK2 and the spidertron. They generate 750kW of power, equivalent to 25 portable solar panels, while taking up only a 4×4 area in the equipment grid.
Portable fusion reactors are an unlimited source of energy and require nothing to power them.
Portable fusion reactors are essential items for power armor and power armor MK2, as running the many other modules in these armors would take far too many solar panels to be practical.
Trivia
- The model is a reference to the movie Back to the Future, specifically the "Mr. Fusion" item on the back of the DeLorean. The "Mr. Fusion" is itself a riff on "Mr. Coffee," as the prop was a modified coffee maker.

The energy shield generates a basic protective shield that can absorb a small amount of damage.
Equipment modules can be used by placing them in the grid that opens by right clicking the armor.
The shield is effectively an extension of HP and has to be brought to 0 for the character to suffer any actual HP damage. Like actual HP, it benefits from the damage reduction attributes of its armor. All damage is split equally between shields, allowing all shields to recharge simultaneously. Energy shields are largely obsoleted by the Energy shield MK2, which offers a vastly increased HP buffer at the cost of demanding more energy per HP.
A shield's maximum recharge rate is based on its energy draw divided by the energy cost per shield point. At 240kW costing 20KJ per shield point, the energy shield MK1 recharges 12 HP per second and takes 4 seconds to recharge from 0 to 50HP. The overall energy demand is extremely high and will stress the suit's solar panels and fusion reactor, so use batteries to maintain your shields under fire.
Mk1 shields have an internal energy buffer of 120kJ, which effectively provide an additional hidden 6HP of shielding and add an extra .5 seconds to fully recharge.

The energy shield MK2 generates a stronger protective shield around the character, absorbing some damage.
The shield is effectively an extension of HP and has to be brought to 0 for the character to suffer any actual HP or armor damage. Like actual HP, it benefits from the armor's damage resistance. A cheaper version of it is the energy shield.
A shield's maximum recharge rate is based on its energy draw divided by the energy cost per shield point. At 360kW costing 30KJ per shield point, the energy shield MK2 recharges 12 HP per second and takes 12.5 seconds to recharge from 0 to 150 HP. All damage is split equally between shields, allowing all shields to recharge simultaneously.
The maximum shield recharge rate is limited by the suit's energy supply. A portable fusion reactor will only sustain 2 MK2 shields under fire (or 3 MK1 shields) while portable solar panels are only good for a few recharges per day. Because of the high energy demand, it is can be useful to complement shields with modular batteries, as they will maintain shield recharge under fire.
The Energy Shield Mk2 has an internal energy buffer of 180kW, which effectively adds a hidden 6HP and additional .5 seconds to recharge.

Nightvision is a kind of equipment module. It can be used by placing it in the grid that opens by right clicking the armor.
Having nightvision in the armor during the night changes the standard vision at night to be brighter with a gray overlay that drains non-lit areas of color. Unlike other items such as exoskeletons or shields, equipping multiple night vision units has no effect. Nightvision turns off and requires no energy during the day time.
Nightvision require a suit energy supply to function. Unfortunately its complementary tech portable solar panel does not provide energy at night, and the Nightvision's internal buffer of 120 kJ will quickly drain in a few seconds. Getting initial use out of Nightvision requires charging a modular battery to stay online over night.

The Personal laser defense is a module that can be inserted into modular armor and the spidertron, it provides a basic laser defense system.
It automatically targets and fires at nearby enemies, and, unlike hand-held weapons, doesn't slow the player down when firing. It consumes power after it fires (to recharge), so it doesn't necessarily need batteries. Stacking multiple personal laser defenses in the modular armor provides more lasers to attack at once. Each shot costs 50kJ of energy; as the shooting speed increases through upgrades, so does the power required to keep firing.
The personal laser defense will fire at enemies nearby even if the player is inside a vehicle.
