Why is X-01 rad resistance non existant?

[SuperKamiTemplar]

As title says, the X-01 pwer armor offers virtually no resistance against rads since the update. i went into the scorchbeast queen fight after nuking and i got death level rads within seconds. rad-x doesnt even help. only the x-01 seems to be affected. what the actual ♥♥♥♥ todd? why do you gottta ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ break the games you make so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ often?!

It's not a bug, IT'S A FEATURE! Put that beautiful X-01 PA in a nice display fixture.

After grinding for hours/days/weeks/months on end, you finally get something decent enough to make a build around. Then it gets nerfed and you have to start all over again. Explosive plasma gatlings aren't. Gauss shotguns "hit like a rag doll". Fireproof/Energy absorption ain't.

Build something, enjoy it, and then put it in a display case when it gets nerfed. Oh, Bethesda, we're gonna need a display case for the chainsaw and auto-axe.

I love how the people who used the exploit are calling it a nerf when it was clearly an exploit. Since Bethesda was finally able to to tell the difference between dupe and not dupe, they should've just deleted all the dupes in the game.

No this is a lot funnier. Now if the people affected bought the pieces from a vendor for a bunch of caps (if that was possible), I do feel for them, but otherwise the rage is pure schadenfreude.

I will admit, watching a bunch of unyielding PA's insta die is hilarious

But I tried other PA worked fine, insted of x-01 lol

Just tried it on an old set of x-01, no issues, crafted a new set, no issues. So you sure this isn't related to people using hacked or duped PA? ;)

I made my first set ages ago put it on a display stand and let it collect dust. After reading this thread I went and got it and went to a nuke zone. Its just plain unmodded X-01 and I was fine.

To OP: You're using duped armor. Enjoy.

Saw X01 pieces for sale today, some will likely get burned buying it...and wasn't cheap.

This is false. After seeing that just now I checked for myself. Walked into a nuke zone with X-01 PA that I personally crafted and rolled. It had zero rad protection and I died within a minute.

Walked into a nuke zone with my duped assassins, ap, wwr PA that has a jetpack arm. Full rad protection. No issues.

No idea what causes the bug, but its definitely not related to duped PA.

That video... Testing in Emmett Mountain... The radiation there is the highest in game and will stress any rad resistance.

The issue is specific to X-01 (Possibly also Strangler Heart but I can't confirm).

What has happened this patch is the 15% radiation reduction effect isn't working. Each part should have that for a total reduction of 90% before resistance calculations.

In the past these reduction effects were part of the paint/skin (a reason so many new paints/skins in Atomic Store didn't have radiation resistance) but this patch they appear to have changed that.

Adding the reduction effects to the base armour makes sense, it allows paints/skins to be made easier and less buggy as they don't need that effect attached. It seems BGS missed the X-01, you can even see this in the pip boy inspect screens.

For now X-01 is bad power armour as you'll take more damage from all sources. When/if it fixed... who knows...

Its also T-60. No rad protection on my main set which is T-60.

Earliest will be 14 weeks from now - and they will certainly break 100x new things when they do it

Unlike the overgrown which was a VERY minor exp buff for a very small minority of players

This bug negatively affects users and so won't be a priority fix by any means...

If it was duped that was by no means my fault. I bought the set from a player with caps ingame that i manually grinded for. maybe they should fix the duping methods instead of screwing over unsuspecting players?
