The Chitin Chestpiece is a torso armor piece crafted from or looted as chitin. It offers moderate armor protection and fits into a standard armor loadout for early-to-mid game survival.
Spawn it directly to a player or into your inventory using either the item ID or GFI code. Since it has no blueprint variant, the quality and blueprint flags in the spawn command do not affect the result, only the quantity matters.
