Armor Updates
Thank you all for your feedback since we reopened the Public Test Server back in December! There have been a lot of great conversations around the Armor changes that we’ve made which is the exact type of feedback we were looking for.
General
Made numerous changes to reduce the weight of armor and power armor.
Some armor resistances have been slightly adjusted as part of some data changes under the hood to provide more headroom for higher resistances as needed in potential future updates.
Adjustments to T-51 armor to lean more towards Cryo Resistance.
Adjustments to underarmor resistances (mostly increases).
Increased Radiation Resistance for Hamzat Suits and Chinese Stealth Armor.
Updated the Cave Diving Suit resistances to be similar to Hazmat Suits.
Removed the extra Radiation Damage reduction from Hazmat Suits - this is meant to be replaced by the much-higher Radiation Resistance on these items.
Updated Road Kill – Trapper Left Arm Default Legendary Mods
NEW: Default Legendary Mods: Overeater’s, Glutton, Thru-Hikers
OLD: Overeater’s, Glutton, Pack Rat’s
Unique Effect: Eat animal corpses to restore life.
