The helmet of this Dark Armor has been fitted with a Multi-Frequency Target Acquisition System (MFTAS), allowing the user to track and scan for multiple enemy targets. The MFTAS can calculate the outcomes of various tactics in a compressed time via computer models. Telemetry data including atmospheric conditions, the user's ammo count, unit member distance and individual ID tags, firing solutions, and tactical information is displayed around the peripheral of the user's field range for ease of use while keeping the center view unobstructed.

Shozoku has been enhanced with a kiirium coating that allows this Dark Armor the ability to disperse immediate moderate damage from heat weapons.

Shozoku has been fitted with an integrated sensor telemetry pod emitting active signals programmed to bounce and return, providing accurate environmental data to feed to the user's Multi-Frequency Target Acquisition System should they have one, and back to a command center through encrypted telemetry.

This Dark Armor has been coated in a specialized adaptive Reflec coating, both absorbing light and sensor pings to better blend with darkness and assist in avoiding sensor scans.
