I've only played light armor since launch and can tell you that the padded one is very good. The only other trait that makes my eye wander even a little is servo assisted

The only other trait that makes my eye wander even a little is servo assisted I think the balance on the armors (with the exception of Heavy) is actually pretty good, because I find myself swapping pretty regularly. Light with lower detection radius is goated. You can run across the level and not aggro anything. I honestly had so much less hassle spelunking with this I was surprised I hadn't tried it sooner. +2 grenades and lower recoil is really good and usually my default, I just can't give up +2 grenades ESPECIALLY stuns. Those are gold. Crouching with the autocannon or stalwart is great. +2 stims and extended duration is awesome too!! 50% chance to not die is lowkey broken

Yeah I swap armour heaps and from the little I've used it I feel like the 50% cheat death is definitely getting slept on. The amount of times I get one-shot is not a small number so cutting that down in half is a huge win.

The balance on armor traits is bad in that stealth is infinitely better than the rest because it opens up the strongest survivability option in the game (hit da bricks) but the rest of them are all evenly balanced amongst each other

I went to robot nam today, Was hectic as hell doing a kill bots mission, got abandoned, more people were spawning in to get killed as I did a merry little dance around the outskirts of the level dodging bots We somehow got to the clear limit just as the mandatory evac shuttle was counting down to 0, one diver managed to dive on apparently as we all died out mission success. To celebrate we went onto a civvie evac mission and hunted down some tanks successfully, I took an autocannon and snuck around bot bases while they duked it out and shot rounds into vents

Scorcher rules because you can two tap a strider pilot through his front armor. I love mowing those idiots down.

On average is the explosive resist heavy armor better than the 50% chance to survive lethal damage medium armor vs bots? I imagine the better speed and stamina rating on medium armor might actually give it somewhat of an edge

The medium armor with explosive resist that's on the super store right now seems like a good option versus bots if you don't want the speed/stamina tradeoffs of the heavy stuff. In theory I like the 50% resist death against bots, but maybe it's just my luck that a lot of the times it saves me I'm getting tossed by a rocket/explosion and die anyways from the impact of landing.

I haven't used anything else since I got the Exterminator armor because it looks the best.

I was about to buy but it's technically a halfway armor between heavy and medium armor in terms of stats. I might get it in the end tho, there's still a day or so to decide.

Idk unless the nerf made it so you can’t blow up tanks any more with the rail gun I guess lol I haven’t really used it much since

It can damage them but it’s just as poo poo against them as it is against cannons, you’ll need like 5 overcharged shots to bring one down. With tanks that might be your best option but for hulks it’s really bad compared to the one shot eye kill.

William Bear posted:One of the biggest balance mistakes is that the Redeemer is far and away the best sidearm. Nothing comes close. It's a straight upgrade from the pistol, the revolver takes forever to reload, and, as mentioned, the laser pistol does hardly any damage. Could the laser pistol's strength be in playing stealthy? It hardly makes any noise, right? The other pistols would attract a lot more attention. And I know there's all but confirmation they'll be bringing suppressors back for HD2, but maybe this is supposed to be the go-to until then?

Guns in general make way less noise than you'd think, even if you're going wild with something like the arc thrower. Meanwhile enemy patrols path directly to you even if you're completely silent, which makes me question what silenced weapons would even do.

So it might be a coincidence. But since today's Tuesday Maintenance the "mouse over areas to ID places of interest ahead of time" has been hosed for me. Before. Works even in fortified or engineer armor. Now, switching to scout to be sure and it is just refusing to identify places I can literally SEE, with a ? on my compass and everything, as a minor point of interest. Then I get the PoI diamond once I get there. Multiple buildings with escape pods or loot crates with credits and medals? "Nah man nothing there trust me". But thanks for mousing over the 2 man vault while playing solo for a bit it is a PoI in that direction.

At least as far as I can tell playing stealthy means you've got a murder everything before they have a chance to get an alert off if you're forced to engage Using the pistol that takes a full second to kill the smallest little bug in the game is probably not going to go well for you in that regard. In practice, stealthy means murdering that entire little outpost or patrol in a single column stratum so they can't call anything else to kill you
