Armor Mechanics

[dreamy oasis]

If any developers decide to add any sort of armor in the game please and I mean PLEASE add different types and ratings of body armor. What I mean is that there are different ratings of body armor IRL such as stab resistant vests or IIA (which will NOT stop a lot of rifle rounds) to IV (which can stop certain rifle rounds from penetrating you). So if you guys decide to add body armor into the game please just make sure that there's not only one type of body armor that can deflect every caliber. I would love to see IIA armor be used as tissue paper if you shoot someone with a large caliber gun such as .50 BMG, instead of just doing what most games do and lowering the damage amount the player takes or absorbing all damage taken. As for different types of armor I'm talking about coverage such as vests that can only cover portions of your torso versus one of those juggernaut vests that cover your groin, torso, and shoulders. Thanks!

I ain't reading allat

[nova escarp]

You know I change my mind i like this suggestion

[dreamy oasis]

Good thing you aren't a developer

[dreamy oasis]

Thank you catfish

[inland tendon]

I did read allat

Im not reading allat

The same with helmets such as riot helmets with the face shield can prevent damage from minor projectiles like a hammer or knife but will not prevent any sort of bullet from killing you and kevlar helmets can protect you from shrapnel and small ballistics.

Please read the guidelines

[dreamy oasis]

Wow very specific thanks for contributing your input I 100% will read the entire guidelines just to figure out what you're referring to.

[gaunt valve]

I referred to the bullet point format

[short quail]

More suited to being modded in. Jagerkat is already porting over PMC so this’ll be seen in that mod.

[gaunt valve]

Pmc?

[short quail]

Yeah the PMC mod from contractors

[gaunt valve]

Ah

[dreamy oasis]

It's a recommendation.

[dreamy oasis]

I don't think it would be better as a mod, imo

[short quail]

It wouldn’t really make sense to put it in the base game, a lot of effort for a game mode that’s barely going to be played.

[dreamy oasis]

Game mode?

Are we talking about the same thing?

[short quail]

Mechanics like this armor system would realistically be restricted to a certain game mode instead of being a game wide feature

[dreamy oasis]

How?

It's a sandbox game bro 😭

[short quail]

It depends on how mods are actually implemented

If there’s mixing and matching then it could be its own separate mod that can be applied where ever

If there is no mixing and matching mods then something like this would be restricted to a certain game mode or loadout mod, like how contractors does it

Like most body armor in VR games aren't realistic because I don't want to make this long l'll put it in bullet points
• different ratings of armor like level I stopping 9mm and .40 and level lI stopping
9mm and .357
• different rounds affect them more
Like armor piercing, would take less shots than a standard 9mm
• made of different materials, some real bulletproof vest on made out of Kevlar and others you have to put plates in them usually made out of steel or ceramic

Putting ceramics in could be a cool mechanic
