Agility stealth builds are now medium armor?

[Mr Smith]

I have just started playing 1.0, kinda mad I lost my recent progress, but I thought stealth was light armor. Aren't there noise penalties with medium?

The Assassin set has some magical stealth abilities but I'm doing stealth in light armor pieces and perk points and I do fine. Assassin might be a bit better but I don't like the movement penalty.

I might read that wrong, but the assassin boots bonus removes your noice entirely. Or something like that. Its gamebreaking, for situations where stealth approach is working.

[Brevan]

The Assassin pieces have zero noise, and although normally sprinting while sneaking produces extra noise, the Assassin boots prevent that. It's a very quiet set with some emphasis on killing things. In early Experimental this set let you get Sneak damage most of the time, but that appears to have been fixed (at least it was when I'd played on the 23rd).

If you'd prefer Light Armor (no mobility penalties), then the Rogue Outfit has the exact same sneak bonus as Assassin Outfit. It's a very quiet set with emphasis on looting.

You don't have to worry about being detected at all in the agility (assassin) medium armor build, eventually.

You hit a point where you are OP and it's boring. I was pretty surprised that it gets that stealthy.

It's still pretty cool but it's hard to be excited when nothing ever detects you

Does the medium armor perk also add for light armor? I didn't see anything that said light armor that I could put points into

No. I think the idea was that Light Armor didn't slow you down anyway, so the devs were fine leaving it with lower durability.

Was there any useful light armor in previous versions? I am not played previous versions/alphas, so i don't really know.
I mean, now we have specialized light sets alongside heavier sets which can serve well into lategame.
So we can get related perk to them in the futute, alongside with reworked weather system.

The armor and clothing system were totally different prior to 1.0. Military Armor used to be the top tier light armor. You could also learn to craft a set of stealth boots for it so you could be mostly silent while sneaking around.

Yay! switching armors all day...

[Prinny]

assassin set with no skills point anywhere: running while crouching makes me more stealthy than stading still. walking is less stealthy than stading still.
so just run while crouched and stick to walls. regardless of what skills you have.

there's like a difference of 20 armor point total between assassin set and the raider heavy armor set.

is there even a light armor set aside from farmer?

stealth is completely useless in this game
90% of the game is doom room trigger or auto detect (feral)

you might get to sneak up to some rando world spawn... but whats the point?

i really dont understand the idea in gaming today where countless hours are wasted on useless features that just throw everything out the window with auto damage to shore up a complete lack of difficulty scaling skill...... dont build the box if you dont know how to use it....ffs

What are you talking about? You can do 4x damage and with the proper perks and silencer you can kill whatever zed you find from a distance. Are you trolling right now?
