Armor Upgrades in Mass Effect 1 are special tools that are slotted to the equipped Armor of the player and his Squad. Slotting an Armor Upgrade provides both offensive and defensive enhancements, making the equipped Armor even more effective. High Tier Armor may have two slots available for further customization. Armor Upgrades can be purchased from Merchants or looted from containers.
