The heavies on the Oil Rigs soak up a lot of fire before they drop, so you would expect their suit to cost a fortune. The bill says otherwise: the same HQM, sewing kits and tarp as the plain scientist suit, down to the last unit. That is filler, not a price for armour. No player can craft or research the suit, and a dead heavy leaves guns behind, not his clothes.
So if you want to hold a doorway the way they do, look at the heavy plate jacket. It is a real Level 2 blueprint, though it takes sheet metal that only comes from loot. On the rare server where a kit hands you the heavy suit itself, the recycler pays out exactly as for any scientist suit.
