Scuba gear...

[Norwind]

Now that scuba gear is being added, is my 600 oxygen character worthless? Or will it be a modifier on your current oxygen levels?

[Diablerie]

no one can answer that until we have more info on what the scuba gear does, as for modifying oxygen levels, we already have lazarus chowder for that, I hope scuba gear doesn't do the same as that would be wholly redundant.

[Virtex]

im sure it just makes you swim faster and maybe breath longer? so maybe your oxygen + scuba gear gives more oxygen? maybe gas to run it? who knows

It will probably be high end fabricator only gear requiring large amounts of polymer.

If you play on a PVP server, oxygen will always be far more reliable for ocean stuff. If scuba doesn't affect swim speed then oxygen is still far more reliable. If a megalodon jumps you and your dino swims off or dies you can still out swim a megalodon with 600 oxygen.

Depends. If it also raises Swimspeed then yes, our Points will be kinda wasted.

[Charnel]

It will likely also be good cold protection while in the ocean

My guess is ethier scuba gear will 1) work like water skin/jar and will let you top up your oxygen underwater or 2) will add X oxygen to the oxygen meter while equipted.

In ethier case your high oxygen charater is not useless as he still got a lot more oxygen and will be a faster swimmer than anyone else not matter what method is used.

Personally I think it will be method 1.

Movement speed is what effects your swim speed, not Oxygen. Tested it in single player, Oxygen does not change how fast you swim in the slightest, Movement speed is easily noticable.

Am i the only one thats gonna put it on and actually just run around the map with it looking funny lmao

I see no reason as to why a 600 oxygen character would skip the scuba gear, it just adds to the ocean survivability. It might even be a % boost rather than cumulative.

[Palicai]

Love all the speculation, some even seem like they KNOW what the scuba gear does.

Lets just wait for the patch yeah?

[Magic]

Well you will still swim faster with 600 oxygen

I dont think thats right. From what ive read the swimspeed raises slightly when you put some points into oxygen as a side effect. The Movespeed stat however has a larger impact on swimming speed than the oxygen stat.

why the fk:D do u even have 600oxygen ? just make lazarus pls

[Kai]

Scuba Gear equips you with webbed slippers, so yes you should be able to swim faster.

[Crumplecorn]

Don't worry, scuba gear will cost so much to make, you will never have it anyway.
