Powered armour is special infantry armour that relies on internal servomotors, instead of human muscles, for mobility. Such a design allows more powerful weaponry and thicker layers of armour. The first successful development of powered armor was the assault suit. Zone Troopers, Zone Raiders and Black Hand Flame Troopers use powered armor only that the Zone Raiders and Zone Troopers can survive in Tiberium while Black Hand wore cloaks.
