(This is not technically true of the Pathfinder or remnant armor, which we’ll talk about in a second.) The differences between them are the stat boosts they give you - that Maverick armor boosts your effectiveness with weapons, while the Hyperguardian armor boosts your health and shields.

You’ll use Milky Way research points to research the N7 armor, and you can usually find it for sale at the armor merchant in the Nexus’ docking bay. There are two ways to get the N7 armor (just like most armor): Research and make it at a research station, or purchase it from a merchant.
