Effects

Each Pauldron provides the player with a flat +7.5% damage reduction, for a +15% damage reduction when wearing both. Removing the armor doesn't remove the effects (bug, possibly fixed).

Patch history

Due to a bug, unequipping armor does not remove the damage reduction until the player dies or another piece of armor is equipped in that slot. A full armor set gives a 50% damage reduction, or 35% without the Helmet. A full set of Armor gives the player 50% damage reduction. A "Pauldron" originates from a piece of armor worn on the shoulder from the 15th century. Before the update on 31/1/2026, the left/right pauldrons were originally called "Left/Right Shoulder Armor" The Ironclad class will always spawn the player with a full set of Armor, but this comes with a drawback of a 10% reduced movement speed.
