Clothing 2.1 Patch Question

[Sinara]

I just came back to Cyberpunk today and am checking out all the changes, and not sure if this has been answered or not but does clothing still have an armor value? I can't seem to find info on armor and crafting doesn't show an option to craft clothing either. Again, sorry if this has already been addressed in a previous post or anything like that.

No clothing is looks only now. Armour you get from cyberware and perks now.,

This was changes in 2.0 update.

Clothing is very much cosmetic. You can create outfits to manage your look.
Some clothing still has some stats. Not sure of that will change going into the future.

Most of your armor and buffs are gotten from your cybernetics.

Very few pieces of clothing have stats now, as they are 98% meant for fashion now and not defense or integrating them in any RPG element type of way.

Tiers (colors) still mean something, but not an "upgrade" in the sense of gaining anything real.

It will show as an "upgrade" (green arrow up) or "downgrade" (red arrow down) based on the tier. If you're wearing a white piece of gear, any green piece in that slot will now be a green arrow upgrade, just like blue would be next and so on. They made loot scale by every 10 levels now, so you start white at 10, green 20, blue 30 and so on... silly honestly.

Certain chest pieces will add armor, usually the body armor looking gear. A few head items also have stats, quicker upload speed or melee resistance are what I've seen. But most the clothing is purely cosmetic.

The values they have on the clothes that *DO* have stats are so minuscule, it might as well be a joke, lol.

Example: something like .5% zoom

Yeah as others have already stated, there's very few clothes that provide stats now. Some head, shirt, coat, glasses do. What you'll want to do it slap on any that have extra states then use the outfits that you can make in your apartment and wear those over. You'll keep the little bit of stats bonuses those 4 pieces will have while dripping the drip. And invest in cyberware and body stuff for defense.

They increase with higher quality. Like a purple mask at I 17,5% chem resistance and a orange net runner outfit at 15% quick hack resistance, and orange ballistics vest gives 25 armor. You'll still get far more with perks and cyber ware, but it's not nothing.

Honestly it just feels like a consolation prize that's unnecessary at that point.
