[quote=“Schilcote, post:5696, topic:47”]Yeah, power armor is actually kinda crap. One of the bigger problems is that it counts as boots, which means one or two shots from a spitter and it’s gone. Same for hulks too, for that matter. That plus the fact that you can’t wear any other kind of equipment, it takes (asstons of) power to actually be able to fight in it, and the fact that much more easily obtained gear totally outclasses it makes it basically entirely useless.
Are there plans for a power armor buff in the near future? I’d say it should be much tougher and do stuff like double your strength and speed and give you the hulk’s throw ability for how relatively rare it is and all the annoyances wearing it incurs.[/quote]
Reason #53 why playing with the “mundane zombies” mod on is good for your sanity sometimes.
As for acid resistance, as far as I can tell, the trick to tweak that is in its material properties, since its environmental protection is already decent.
Basica power armor, for example, is merely made of steel. Light power armor is made of superalloy and plastic, while heavy power armor is made of hard steel and regular steel. Out of all those materials, plastic is the only one of those to have ANY acid protection at all. This is what makes rain coats somewhat effective against acid rain.
This also means light power armor is the only one that won’t immediately start throwing a hissy-fit because of a little spitter goop.
