Need psi protection gear (CoC)
So the area with the brain scorcher in Call of Chernobyl) says I need high level psi gear, although my psi resistance is maxed out. Which exact gear do I need? Would an upgraded screen helmet do? Or do i need a full body one...

I believe you need the psi helmet from... I think the Yantar bunker.

I already have it, I disabled the miracle machine.

You probably need to get a full upgraded helmet based suit like a seva suit and get all the PSI upgrades for it and use it together with the PSI helmet

I'm not to radar yet so I dunno if it will work.

You should only need the psi helmet you get at Yantar.

You mentioned having disabled the miracle machine, that measn you have a psy helmet, so you should be able to get to the scorcher. You'll just have to deal with hallucinations that can damage you along the way. You shouldn't have any other issues related to psy protection. The Monolith, on the other hand.......
Oh, and the fun at the scorcher isn't over once you turn it off. Have fun dealing with the afftermath, lol.

Not only no, but hell no. You can go through with no armor without a problem (ignoring mutant attacks or getting shot, obviously) so long as the psy helmet is in your inventory and you are willing to chug vodka to deal with rads. You will just take more damage if you are hit by a hallucination.

I was almost on full psi resistance and it gave me this message. And if i continue it starts damaging me even though I have the psi helmet.

Hmm. I dunno then. I do know that it has nothing to do with inventory screen stats, and specifically to do with having a psi helmet. Maybe it's a bug that is part of the 1.5 BETA (assuming you are playing it rather than simply getting the stable release that is 1.4.22). I can just say that I've never encountered it myself, and have never heard of that issue occuring. Possibly you had a quicksave issue where a flag didn't trip, and have now potentially borked your save. Try starting over as W/E faction, using the cheatmenu to get gear, run to yantar to obtain the helmet, and then run to radar, see if it is still happening on a fresh run. You can enable the cheatmenu by adding -dbg to the shortcut, and then access it by pressing 's' while in the pause menu after starting a game.
