Sandstorm Protection

[Konur]

I noticed that some NPC's in the Great Desert had no weather penalty during a sandstorm, and I did. My group is also wearing helmets with 90% face coverage. How can I make them immune to the weather penalty? If I can not have the -10 to stats, they will be a LOT better

i think you might want to look out for various forms of Tagelmusts; they give 100% protection against sandstorms, if i understand the stat system correctly (which i prolly don't, but i'm stocking up on them and gas masks anyway) ;)

They're generally TERRIBLE protection, tho the chainmail ones are ok-ish - seems to be a good idea to have your squad equipped with backpacks to carry situational gear like that.

You need 100% protection to be immune, but at 90% protection you will only feel 10% of the effect, -10 would mean you already have very high stats if its from the duststorm alone..

Hi. If you are looking for 100% protection from s/storm use the square googles/ ashlander googles. Both also add perception though the ashlander add more. Downside they give no armour coverage. Ashlander Hat do give some armour coverage & 100% s/storm protection.

Is there a helmet that is good armour and has 100% protection from dust storms?

I could be wrong but i thought you can find gasmasks/fogmasks that go into the belt slot. Maybe its from a mod, not sure now.

Fog Mask goes in the Head slot, and it has decent protection.

Pretty sure that fogmask and type 3 is vanilla. Type 3 is the better mask as it has no malus.

[Peregrine]

Fog mask is better at high Tiers. It has better protection.

Im pretty sure the ppl that had no storm penalty weren't wearing masks

[Nordak Balrem]

Did you look at their gear? They are affected by weather the same as the player. Other equipment also provides protection, if they were band of bones or berserkers the hoods they wear provide some protection.

I got a samurai helmet with 100% coverage and I still have a -10, so do you have to have goggles or something?

If a helmet as duststorm protection it will says in green text "Duststorm x%"

[rompier02]

No helmet has 100 % s/storm coverage within my knowledge.. Fog mask /swamp ninja mask give minimal armour coverage but 100% s/storm protection - not sure if fog mask is craftable. Trade off they reduce attack/defence minimally. Only mask with decent armour & no combat penalty is Lady Kana's mask. Though acquiring it will require some tact.
