Question: Hazmat Vest (Answered)

[Nixxo]

Hey, I've gotten one Hazmat Vest... Where can I build another one?


Is that just some random item that you after you researched "Experimental Armour" in the proving grounds facility?


It doesn't come up when I try to build armour. The only armours that I can build is Hellweave and the Nanoscale vest there isn't an option to build the Hazmat Vest anywhere.

(And yes I've done a few experimental armor/vest projects at the proving grounds because I already have 2 including the Hazmat Vest).

Correct. Each experimental project only creates one unique variant of that type...so you gotta roll again on the amour table and see what you get each time :)

Not there

Only hellfire and Nanoscale vest

It's an experimental armor (repeatable proving grounds project)

Experimental items are one-offs, you can't build them normally.

It seems to be random. You can try saving before it finishes and see it it give something different. In the Proving Ground.

Yeah, the devs have gone all in in on randomness (random levels, random loot, random bonus skills, random psi skills, random equipment manufacturing)...

Seems more like a cycle in my experience.. Think there's three vests. Haz, One that give armor, and one with limited regen. Not necessarily in that order. Meaning each of your prefered armor cost 3 cores each.

Ok guys, thank you for the information... I love those Hazmat Vests... Saved my assaults ass couple of times. Well, I guess I am pouring resources into those Experimental armour projects and just hope I get another one.

Also, strange thing is that I believe I've gotten the hellweave vest (the one that sets melee attackers on fire and reflect back melee damage) through experimental armour research... And I can build those for some reason.

It may not work with hazmat vests cause they are a utility item i think but SA gives a bonus of completing PG armour projects instantly

Yes, there is one armored vest type (Hellweave) out of four vest types and one ammo type (Bluescreen) out of 6 ammo types that you research separately. The rest are in the proving grounds.

It is VERY confusing and I have no expletive idea why they made it this way.

Hellweave is made after you research chrysallid autopsies and is always available to make (if I remember right, probably costs some chrysallid corpses for each one)

It's random, but from what I've seen it's almost like a rotation. I have NEVER built the same experimental item twice in a row.
