Ferrite Armor is one of two armor classes which reduce damage taken to health. Indicated by a yellow hit point bar, it is relatively common with low and mid-tier enemies such as Lancers and has generally weaker resistances than the more advanced Alloy Armor. As a result of the combination, the best damage to use against these enemies is generally Puncture damage, with Toxin or Corrosive. It is also the armor type used by Warframes.

Armor has an effectiveness value based on their level, which always reduces damage regardless of type. The full damage calculation then combines this armor value, as well as both the cloned-flesh and armor's damage modifiers.

Note that damage types effective against Ferrite Armor ignore a corresponding percentage of armor in addition to increasing the base damage against enemies with Ferrite Armor.
