What is the armor value of chainmail?

[Szling J. Ozec]

Im wondering if its worth the trade off in inventory.

Check it yourself, go in C/programfiles(86)/steam/steamapp/common/unturned/bundles/shirts then find it there. Open with notepad ++ or jus double click, and u should see all the stats. I bet it's armor is around 0.85

Thank you I did not know how to do that before.
chainmail has an armor value of 0.95 so its basically worthless

Np and doh, I overestimated it. Basically a cloth shirt has the same armor of a chainmail, rofl

its strange, chain should actually have more armor than the spec ops if they want to go for realism

Idk thats a bit of a strech. Spec ops should be some military fabric, not anti bullet but defenetly strong. Also realism is not really the first thing in the developers mind so I think that at least the chainmail should have the same armor of specops, but not better.

Well I have never had any expeience with spec ops gear irl, I have had a little with mail and its got more protective value than anything made out of ordinary fibers as the spec ops seems to be based on the repair recipie. Espiecally when you put padding under it as the chainmail top and bottom in the game show on the model.

Well realisticly speaking yes, the chainmail was designed to block arrows together with gambison but again, in this game the main thing is balance>realism so...

I feel like the main thing is that Unturned doesn't have a difference between protection from melee and from bullets. Chainmail might be better than modern military gear against a sword or blunt weapon, but against a gun it would actually make things worse. Chainmail fell out of use in part because it would often fragment when shot and cause even more damage. Since guns are the main PvP weapon, it makes sense to balance chainmail around them.
