Advanced Armory is the Endowment of the hunter conspiracy Task Force VALKYRIE in Hunter: The Vigil.
As a modern, progressive group of hunters with a huge amount of resources at their disposal, VALKYRIE has focused on the technical and scientific aspects of fighting creatures of darkness instead of worrying over magic. The equipment they have developed is quite powerful and extremely hush-hush. In order for any VALKYRIE agent to use the weapons and armor of the conspiracy, they must have a special RFID chip implanted in their body, which releases a special frequency that allows the instrument to be used; anyone who attempts to use a weapon without having the chip will have it lock up.
There are a few armory types that are "renewable"; that is, they are expended upon use and must be replaced before the next mission or encounter. A VALKYRIE agent, depending on their status and mission, is only issued so much renewable equipment at a time.
