Black Ops Chestpiece gives no bonus

[Ben.E]

Just bought this item from the trader in Bunker Hill and it is supposed to boost my Strength and Endurance by 1 but it does nothing of the kind. Any ideas?

Are you wearing power armor as well? That will basically invalidate all armor or clothing that you're wearing.

Are they already max?

[Ben.E]

Thanks for the replies - no Power Armor in use and my Strength and Endurance are 4 each so not maxed and why I need the boost from this armor but I'm not seeing it.

Usually only console spawned items lack their bonuses.

Oh and double check you're not addicted to something etc, just in case your numbers are messed up.

Sounds like a bug. I would take before and after screen shots as evidence (showing your stats with and without that armor) and then report it to Bethesda in their FO4 tech forum. I know for sure that other gear stat bonuses do work, but maybe that item is glitched or something like that.

BTW, EVEN IF the stats were maxed out, he should still see an increase. The only cap on those stats is that you can't add perk points to bring the natural stat above 10. I've gotten various stats into the teens without food or drugs (and with, I've heard of others getting into the 20s). I don't know what the max ought to be if there is one, but based on what I've seen, it's got to be over 20.

it wont show it in the perk part if thats where ur looking

Turns out I was addicted to Buffout and when I used Addictol? to fix that my STR and END increased by a point with a + next to the stat to indicate the boost from the Amror.

What threw me was that when addicted I had no - next to the STR and END stats to indicate a problem.
