PvP armour is equipment which has a damage bonus like power armour, without the armour value sacrifice of power armour. Instead, it usually has a large secondary downside, such as rapid degradation. Specifically, PvP armour gives a tier-relevant damage and armour bonus (i.e. tier 50 pvp armour gives a tier 50 damage bonus and a tier 50 armour bonus). It also often has requirements below its tier.
