The target keyword for this horde page is gears of war e day Armor Mods.

Armor Mods are one of the three mod families that unlock through Horde Siege class progression in Gears of War: E-Day. The official multiplayer deep dive says Armor Mods upgrade a soldier by changing attributes such as health, ammo reserves, or weapon-swap speed. It also gives an example of a mod that grants Perfect Active ammo from executions.

Armor Mods are unlocked along a class level track. The same deep dive says Horde Siege classes have 30 levels at launch, with completed missions awarding Class XP. This places Armor Mods inside the class progression system rather than presenting them as a separate generic collectible category.

Armor Mods alongside other systems

Tactical Gear Mods improve a class's unique equipment, while Weapon Mods modify individual guns. Armor Mods instead focus on the soldier's broader attributes and conditional benefits. Combining these systems is part of the build decision described by the official source, especially at higher difficulty levels.

The selected official article does not publish a complete Armor Mod catalog, exact values, or a permanent tier list. Those details should be verified against current official release notes and the live game rather than inferred from the general system description.
