illuminate damage type

[ChrisLion™]

So what damage type is the illuminate weapons?
They look half way between lightning and lazer. would the resistance against arc damage armour work with them?

Haven't tested but I bet they're just plain ballistic damage. but they do have arc towers and the tripod harvester thing has arc in close range

Purely speculating after playing a few matches here, I don't imagine AH would let you just equip an armor that mitigates basically all of an entire faction's damage. It's probably ballistic with maybe a bit of explosive if you're lucky. I expect fire resist to be mostly useless, and electricity resist will protect you from the tesla towers they have guarding some of their structures, but that's just about it.

Explosive resist will need some testing and might have some niche uses against some attacks, but honestly all their attacks are avoidable enough that I wouldn't consider using specific resistances worthwhile over other armor passives that would let you play more offensively instead.

indeed I thought the same about the arc resistance. it seems too powerful

I've already tried the explosive resistance and that turned out to be rather useless.

I want to try the melee resistance armour next since we have lads with staves and melee zombies

is there a melee resistant armor? the jungle armor increases your melee damage, I use it with the stun baton from super store to cleave voteless legs, very fun until they eventually swarm you lol
