As with the other suits developed under the G Project, the Duel was equipped with the new Phase Shift armor, making it nearly impervious to shell firing weapons. According to gundam wiki, after being stolen by ZAFT and damaged in battle, the suit is upgraded with the so-called Assault shroud armor, which fits several armor plates over the body that can be ejected if necessary. The armor also adds an additional "Shiva" 115mm railgun on the right shoulder and a 220 mm 5-barrel missile pod on the left shoulder for additional firepower. This unit is piloted by Yzak Joule.
