Why Armor is broken. This is why. *fixed*

[VelxraTV]

So it seems armor is not working and all sets take the same amount of damage.


Seems the critical hit everyone talks about. Is from the head not having armor. Making the armor rating rather worthless.

Devs fixed armor today. Here is the comparison. Heavy armor needs a big buff in my opinion.

Epic bacon win my friend

[Y'all Hear Sumn?]

Good to know.

[Doomvora]

Light armor or bust is what I'm hearing :)

The 500g bomb is also bugged lol

[Slurs! In the Discord]

Yeah at the moment, Light Armor is BiS

[St0rmFury]

The main issue now is, is the heavy armor as weak as the light armor or the other way round? Since you die in 6 hits while using either armor, a fix might actually make you die in 2 hits while wearing light armor instead of 10 hits or more to die in heavy armor.

[Chaos]

Nice, so you are slow down, without any benefit what so ever.
Very cool.

[[Asgard] Thor]

Interesting, well good to know to switch to light armor for the time being.

Have you tried this with bot shots? I have a distinct feeling it matters more there, as you can face tank missiles in heavy armor but cannot in light. If this is the case, just means light armor is all you should be using for bugs.

Maybe armor rating only matters for ranged attacks in general?

I've messed around with it for like 2hrs and it's the same either way heavy armor is just busted.

[Riflebird]

Well, I feel like a moron for switching armors around to fit the mission. Should have just taken light armor to every fight.

[Slavbringer57]

Man and here I wanted to use heavy armor because I like the style... Well maybe they'll fix it by time I can play the game?

[Mesond]

Having played on hard and been behind cover and died in a single rocket from a hulk wearing heavy armor that is designed to resist explosive damage, armor does indeed seem to not do its job.

Granted, it was a rocket in the face. But the difficulty was hard, not extreme, suicide or helldiver. They also shoot a lot of them very quickly.

I just tested this myself and I'm unsure if this is accurate. I tested vs a single bug and for starters, you don't get discrete hits like he was getting. I was getting hits of about 1/6, then I'd get a 'crit' or something that would take off over half my health. It seemed like the 'crits' did less damage when I was wearing heavy armour though.

I also tested with someone shooting me with the basic pistol and it seemed like it did less damage when wearing heavy vs wearing light, but it's hard to get an accurate read on it.

Either way, I would not put 100% value in this video, I don't think it's entirely accurate, but test it yourself like I did.
