[Smoove Criminal]

I rather use flak armor and save 48lbs and have 900 armor....sorry :/

[NotDylan7055]

It ways dat much!!!!! OMG!!! PHYSICS ARE DYING!!!! FLAK IS LIGHTER!!!!

[Smoove Criminal]

Actually i use Hide armor and flak helmet, most effecient in weight and armor/insulation

[NotDylan7055]

Oh. I wear flak, looking into getting fur, but... after learning this...

Good luck in the snow biome. You will die without it :P

Fur tends to be heavy in real life bud

If they want to give us "bulkier" armor, make it 5 per piece at most. (A 1000% increase from hide)

Just wait until the other weights get adjusted. ;)

Never said it wasn't. But when a full set of METAL battle armor is about 3lbs vs 50lbs.....that ratio is 2 op

Wait....everyone start complaining about it, and then the devs will change it! Don't you know how this works. Lol

[Gomorragh]

well, with 40 fortitude i can get away with just wearing the body and gloves for the fur, with the rest chitin barring boots, really though all the armour has been a little light come to think of it, Hide armour is essentially a leather jacket, my biker jacket weighs a fair weight, thats even after a lot of use and all the insulation essentially falling out, and i would sssay that hide armour is tougher and heavier than that, so if people are going to complain, find out the weight of flak armour for the military, then add a bit of weight for the helmet due to the face cover. although i wouldnt call flak armour that i would say its more like knight armour

Yeah its heavy as hell. However without using cooked food buffs and with 20 Fortitude, I have almost died just going outside for a short while to gather prime in my local area for a tame without it. Currently it keeps me from riding most of my Pteras, Raptors and Pachys with it on until I can get them points into weight. The Dire Wolf I tamed had the starting weight of a Ptera as well so that makes those difficult to ride at first. It also has no insulating effect at all if you're in the water so don't step in puddles in the snow biome with it on.

I honestly think they should just remove the weight penalty. It's already mat expensive, smithy dependant, will cook you outside of the snow biome and is neutralized by water. It doesn't need a weight penalty.

50 pounds? god some fanboys are so pathetic smh

It's not just a fur coat. It's pretty much a full fur parka, heavy insulated fur pants, insulated fur boots, gloves, and hat.

Hide armor isn't just a "leather jacket". Take heavy hide and boil it in rendered fat, beeswax, or even water, and it gets harder than wood. You DO have to balance between hardness and brittleness, though. Look up "cuir bouilli" (boiled leather). It's TOUGH. It makes motorcycle leathers look soft and supple, and THOSE will protect you from road rash!

Here's an article about modern-day reenactors, who wear the stuff as ACTUAL armor, shedding blows from heavy rattan weapons (like getting hit with a baseball bat).
