Armor
From Doom Wiki
The standard armor (known as security armor in the manuals) is an item that appears in the Doom games as a bright green military vest, similar to the one worn by the player sprite. When collected, it increases the player's armor percentage to 100%. It cannot be collected if the player already has at least 100% armor. When an armor is obtained, the game displays a HUD message; picked up the armor.
The armor will absorb one third (1/3) of all damage received, rounded down, until it is fully depleted.
This item is not included in the items percentage displayed at the end of each level.
