combat armor looks diffrent

[ZETA6]

the combat armor in screenshot and cut sceans is not what i keep finding. mine looks diffrent is green and the chest has a big star on it. are there two kinds ive seen a merc with a full set of the other.

well, there is heavy version of some armor parts, there is heavy combat and leather armors wich look diffrent.

maybe try raise the difficulty? more legendary enemies could possibly drop better gear.

well there are mercs at asylim one the costline that have it and some great guns. i find it odd that there is heavy versions of leather armor lol will it be armor and not a badilear for a chest pice. ill go kill one of those guys and see what he has on brb.

Some armors, Combat armor included comes in three varients, Light, Sturdy, Heavy. Each varient has its own apearance.

The Light Varient is only a small Armor Plate, two sholder guards and thigh guards.

The Sturdy comes with leather vests under the plate, addtional elbo and wrist guards for arms, and an additonal shin and leg guards for legs.

The Heavy encases the leater section with more armor, and the shoulder pads now have an added pladon in aditon to the elbo and wrist guard, the leg wil be encased in armor all the way.

Edit: Changed Reinfocred to Sturdy

ok so i killed them what they had on now was normal combat armor with a combat armor helm i thought they had one diffrent stuff. maybe they got randimised each time you load the game that hapens to stuff this game will not save something so long as your not looking at it.

thanks for letting me know about other armors when do they start showing up like what lvl

There are also visual variants like Brother hood of steel combat armour with their logo and different colour it also gives you more rad resist.

They can show up anytime, after messing with consel commands, I found out that all combat armor uses the same ID, and are randomly pulled from a pool. Meaning there is no way to garunteely get the Heavy set, its completly random. But I think the best chances I got so far were from armor merchents. It will literaly be labled Heavy Combat Armor [Body Section].

....ugh gunners better have it on at some point maybe if i go farther south i only have chest and one arm for light combat armor. i started over so ill have to wait a while but theres never any good armor for sale in dimond city mostly just guns that i buy to take parts from.

If it helps, if you set up a armor emporeom shop in a settlement and assign someone to it, it will typically sell at least one or two peices of heavy a day. With many light and some reinforced varients.

yea well thats gona take a while i desided to make a fort out of the red rocket and it seems like settlements are broken for me. in the first save i had way more food watter and bed the becon yet only 8 people only 3 of them do anything. you have the one person from the mission and two others but nobody shows up. i got one person but they where gone in 24 hours happynes is at 80% so im just in a wtf about it. i know that people will show up and then be gone right afterwards i dont know why.

Well, I found 3 armor types so far;

Normal
Sturdy
Heavy

each with increasingly more padding/plates.

Also the material modifications changes the appearence of your armor. (the miscellaneous mods don't change appearance as far as I remember)
This even goes so far that with some armor parts (not sure which are included) the material mods change the plating too (found on the heavy raider arm piece).

It seems that after a while people will slowdown in joining your main settlemnt as you apporch max populationto the point where it dosent increase.

What I do is set up more settlemts, only radio towers and turn them on, I check back regulerly on pip bo to see if anyone new joined, I then go to that new settlement and tell the settler to move to my main settlemnt. In this way I got 21 setlers in a few hours. They typically assign themselves to a task, but I found that sometimes I needed to manually make sure a crop is being worked on using the settlemnt builder interface [no red vault boy icon on requiered], and assign a wandering guy to it. The people we come and go may be traders or other wanderers. That or they got killed by raiders.

my town will never get attacked the def rateing is way high and i have so many turrets no way anythinc could get half way down the bridge. im nowhere near max pop i have the stuff for 20 people but no more than 8 will be in town any new ones are super rare and only stay 24 hours traders and followers dont count to your pop count. im probly going to not make towns they did a real bad job with it some real stupid stuff to thats just killer. it also sucks down resorses and all my hard work never gets used i made a bar but all the people just stay in one house or at there job. if i do anything it will just be beds food and shops wish the shops wher not allways stalls. i can find anything i need out in the waists anyway.
