Yellow Armor
From QuakeWiki
Yellow Armor (or YA) absorbs 60% damage and gives you 150 armor points. While less effective than Red Armor, it can still protect you from multiple Rocket Launcher shots, making it very useful.

[edit] Single Player
In SP, the YA is somewhat common in maps, usually found in the open in Episode 1 and 2, but in Episode 3 and 4, it's usually found in secrets. Since Red Armor is very rare in SP, you'll find that YA is great protection against enemies.
[edit] Multiplayer
In MP, YA is a great alternative to Red Armor. While it absorbs less, this means that it'll last longer. If you keep healing up after battles, YA should last longer than Red Armor would.
A player with YA and Megahealth can absorb more damage than a player that has Red Armor alone. While this can be difficult to pull off, such a combination can turn the tides of a battle in your favor.
If a Red Armor room is being controlled, you should try to grab a YA instead. It's much easier on you, and you'll still get great protection from damage.
