Description

Light plating made from the Chryssalid exoskeleton, this material provides additional protection and a significant reduction to melee damage sustained. It's also sturdy enough to provide a strangulation countermeasure.

Confers 4 extra health
Reduces damage from melee attacks
Confers immunity to strangulation

Source: XCOM: Enemy Within DLC

Notes

Research Required	Chryssalid Autopsy
Base Costs	§85 15 Alloys 4 Chryssalid Corpses 15 Engineers
Abilities/Stats	+4 Health Points 50% less Melee damage

This is equipped in the item slot, not in the armor slot.
This makes a great equipment item for someone low on HP, or an Assault class (with Titan armor and Extra Conditioning, that's +18 Armor HP). +4HP is nothing to sneeze at.
50% damage reduction from melee attacks is amazing. Chryssalids and Berserkers are some of the most dangerous enemies in the game, since melee attacks never miss.
You can do with only 2 or 3 Chitin Platings for the whole game, and you should be able to get that many Chryssalids in the first two or three missions where they spawn.
- If you want many Chryssalid corpses, rush for alien base raid at april. You will get about 10 of them.
