armor durability?

[floral mulch]

i was wearing T7 normal hat, jacket, pants and T5 rare boots. since they have similar durability numbers.

here's the problem begins. while losing half durability of T5 boots, T7 clothes lost 75% of it. very weird.

Rare armor always lasts longer ... probably due to firearm protection

ahh. suppose that works differently lol. thought that was a overall buff.

Before 11.0, the firearm protection perk from boots would apply to all 4 pieces of armor. After 11.0, only boots get the perk, all the other armor pieces remain on 0

This is the reason why the durability is drained at different rates

Thank you for the detailed explanation and for sharing your experience. The clarification about the change introduced in version 11.0 really helps explain why durability is now drained at different rates across armor pieces.
