How to get away With enemy Armor?

[[SWOT] DroningCardinal]

Need some Tips on how to effectively get Armor in my loot after the Battle ends. I know about the Caesar dagger Method and or the flail bonk on head but is there any other more reliable way maybe? And If i Go for flail what are good ones and which ones should i avoid ? Thanks in advance :)

Your chances of looting armor increases the less they are damaged after killing your target. So you want to aim for weapon with high ignore armor ratio like crossbow or 1h weapon with duelist. Also 2h axe work pretty well since split man damage both head and body durability which halve the durability loss for specific part

It all boils down to killing the schmuck without scuffing the armor they're wearing. Caesar style, flail bonk, and high armor-pierce are what you're looking for. Not sure what do you mean by flail, just use the ones with highest number on it? Or if you mean the target, whack the dudes with the frailest hats.

Flail and polearm have hit head chances - that's increased on a bro with the Brutal trait.

To be clear, it's not a scaling chance, it's binary.

If the body armour is above 30 durability AND 25% of max durability, it's a guaranteed drop, otherwise it's guaranteed to NOT drop.

Same durability requirements for helmets, except they only have a 70% drop chance.

Afaik there is never GUARANTEED armor drop in the game. Always chance that you will not get anything even if it was 100% condition, which was tested many time puncturing down all that shiny knights, etc.

And that was most likely due to the corpse spawning bug, but the actual chance for the armour to drop is guaranteed if the corpse spawns.
