"An armor upgrade package that enhances a vehicle's resistance to anti-armor munitions. This upgrade helps decrease the effects and damage of otherwise lethal hits." — In-game descriptionThe Active Armor Upgrade is a vehicle specialization featured in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and is obtained after acquiring 2300 experience points with any vehicle or emplacement. It reduces damage taken by 25%, and is a passive specialization, meaning that it does not require user input to activate as it will always be activated the second a player uses a vehicle or emplacement and will deactivate upon leaving unless another player in the vehicle had the same specialization. It is best used as a driver of a transport vehicle such as a HMMWV, a PBL, or a UH-60 Black Hawk, as they are generally weaker targets and can be normally taken out with one rocket or tank shell.

Active Armor Upgrade is canceled out by Improved Warheads Package and Improved Demolitions.

TriviaEdit

• Although the game description states that the Active Armor Upgrade increases armor, it actually reduces all damage taken.
