Biohazard Resistance Package: $45,000

If you are at risk of coming under biological or chemical attacks, or have warriors in the field under similar conditions, then having members of BioCorps, the LifeWyze security force, is the best you can get. However, while no member of BioCorps are released for general employment, you can now get the next best thing by developing your own.

This package contains one (1) DuResist Armour, one (1) YuResist Gas Mask and one (1) of each vaccination in the LifeWyze range. Allowing you to field units immune to the effects of biological weaponry!

A one inch thick steel plate?

Blimey. It can't be very easy to move in. Still, good product

Inch thick steel? You're not goin anywhere... I mean, there's no muscular augmentation involved, so it's like walking around with some SERIOUS platemail on. And a decent suit of plate is already pretty damn heavy, and rather a bit thinner than a inch. It is, on the other hand, mostly bulletproof I'd think. I doubt your generic assault rifle will be punching through it anyway...

It is true that it is very difficult to maneuver inside the armour, however, the armour has to be able to prevent penetration by average bullets to ensure that the seal is not compromised, otherwise it obviously offers no protection whatsoever. Rather this armour is designed to allow fighting throughout all conditions with the original purpose being that in the event a LifeWyze facilities is endangered, biological and chemical weapons will be used on whoever has broken in, followed by security forces who are fully protected from such substances.

On the plus side, you really are protected from almost anything whilst wearing it.


I'd say I could design a more maneuverable suit with less armour, but that puts the wearer at risk in terms of the suit being able to be breached, which then defeats the reason behind the armour. So in such a case, you're better off just buying regular body armour and a gas mask (Preferably a YuResist Gas Mask from LifeWyze, retailing at $250 USD. *grins*)

I would like to order one hundred of the Biohazard Resistance Package:

$4,500,000.

Also, is there a picture available?

(OOC: Unfortunately I was unable to find an appropriate picture, however for anyone who has watched Resident Evil (first film), then what I envisage is a much bulkier version of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Team outfit in that film before they started removing their masks... (Idiots). Much bulkier.

Can all orders please be posted in the LifeWyze Storefront please? I intended this more for discussion on the product. Thanks. *Smiles*)
