Hive Soldier Armor

[ThreeRippersInATrenchcoat]

What would yall recommend armor-wise for a solo hive soldier run? he has full prosthetics already so shoes arent an option, but everything else is thanks to mods. He uses a falling sun because they look neat and i dont know what might compliment that.

Im using NewVanilla Kenshi Remastered, which as far as i know be the only mod that changes armors stats, but theyre might be more, theres also that fortress armor mod that gives Cat-Lon the drip.

You can't go wrong with Samurai. Once upon a time the rag plate was their best because of the hit location rules for Hivers but that armor got nerfed for some reason.

Ninja rags and Dustcoats are good for Hive soldiers because it gives some head protection which they can't get other ways. But the armor values are way lower then heavy armor. Nothing really excels on a Hiver.

I don't use any armor mods so I'm talking vanilla. Samurai is meta best heavy because it doesn't lower Dex.

Yeah, dexterity affects attack speed and blocking speed.

Edit: the actual "combat speed" stat from sandals means movement speed while in a combat situation, which is separate from dexterity and attack/block speeds.

This ^^

Dex is crazy important to both attacking and survival.

Also confirming the combat speed info. It's nice but not a big deal.

ah, i thought combat speed was combat animation speed, now i feel less hesitant about samurai armor
