Body armour

[☭Commissar Midnight Man☭]

Hel i play a lot of state decay, especially the first 1 in breakdown and now i am playing the 2 one and one thing i really want them to add to the game is Body armour
You can get body armour from military, poilice stations, etc and can be light, medium or heavy. Or you can build your own with scrap and some materials to add some protection, all body armour break they are not infinite like the Crossbow.
It is just a cool thing because i am getting so many times my ass clap by humans with shotguns with 1 tap when i try to kill them ahahahah and that body armour could save lives but has weight so you become slower and use more stamina but it depends about the weight and the type of body armour

Don't really think its necessary from a gameplay perspective. You already have tools to deal with hostile human i.e. smoke, zombie bait, and bloater gas grenade. I am just struggling to see its use in terms of gameplay. I guess casuals might want it for extra protection against zed. On lethal you are going to die from blood plague so extra armor will be useless unless it adds like blood plague resistance.

you misread or can't comprehend. let me make it clear as possible. Ppl die from blood plague on higher difficulty. Extra armor (damage reduction from zombie attack) is useless. If it had blood plague resistance then it will be useful.

i am saying to humans i cant hard believe youhave zombie bait and bloater gas grenade when you start a new community on lethal. And if you read the first one i am saying to humans and not zombie because i am dying to shotguns easly and body armour could help on that

? So you want them to add armor to the game so you can engage hostile human during early game on lethal?

i dont see like a problem to have a thing that gives you extra protection of damage income, not everyone plays on lethal so is just a feature to add more content to the game if someone just want some protection

Its not a problem. I just don't think its a worthwhile feature. There are many things the devs can add, but they all take time and resources. Some updates like the heart territory update changes how you play the game. It makes the game more challenging and complex. You can no longer cheese outpost and safe zones like before. Furthermore, you also have to do some planning on deciding which plague heart to clear next to allow for safer looting or claiming outpost/base. These type of updates affect all players and are more meaningful.

Now, they could make the armor feature interesting, but at the very least your version sounds pretty meh. It feels like a niche feature not a feature that can be enjoyed by every player.

I think Moist has explained it fairly well in their first post, why armor would be useless. You die from blood plague most of the time on any difficulty. It would be cool as a costume, but as an actually game item? Not really, as anything that slows you down will get you killed, so no one would be using it anyway.

If you are facing issues with hostile humans, then all you need to do is get a suppressor and any firearm (5.56 or 7.62 ammo type ones are best, but I did it even with pistols), drive up to the enclave just close enough to see the red mark and stand behind your vehicle waiting for one of them to get in the open. Shoot the head twice and they will fall down. Do this a few times and they will just die.

firecrackers or drawing a juggernaut to their front door can also do wonders if you require a bit of style to it but the down and dirty is exactly that - drive just close enough to see the mark, wait for them to put a head out, and then shooting it.

Fair enough, I just rarely ever see that word in a PVE setting is all.
