Armor archetypes
Six archetypes identify primary and secondary armor stat emphases; each armor piece also receives a third stat assigned randomly.
How it works
The guide lists Bulwark (Health primary, Class secondary), Brawler (Melee, Health), Grenadier (Grenade, Super), Paragon (Super, Melee), Specialist (Class, Weapons), and Gunner (Weapons, Grenade). It says armor of different archetypes can be equipped freely and every piece has a randomly assigned third stat. The passage does not give exact stat values for the archetype labels.
