What's the best protection against acid pool?

[sfsworms]

So, I though that wearing turnout boots would basically make acidic zombies and ants much less of an issue because puddles of acids wouldn’t be an issue, but I still take ton of damage to the legs. What’s the best armor/trick against acid?

[darktoes]

The best boots for acid are probably rubber boots until you can craft survivor fire/wetsuits. Thing is, puddles somehow apply to your legs as well, so you need to protect them too somehow.

Yeah I never got the leg protection part it’s like what is there just a huge glomp of acidic slime in the middle of the street now or what.

I imagine it’s supposed to be splashing? But unless you’re doing a violent tap-dance, the damage is way too high.

[DeWolf]

If it is supposed to be splashing why do you’re legs receive damage when standing still? Also the lab coat should have some acid protection.

I am using a long bow now and always try to fight zombies one by one.
The acid zombies usually can’t hit me directly and just make pool of acids around me.
If I step onto acid, I just run and use smoke grenade.

Also the lab coat should have some acid protection.

As for the lab coats, I think they are the thin ultra-white ones; designed to show any and every little stain. Essentially built for hygiene and anti-contamination purposes, rather than to provide any real protection.

At least that’s how I imagined them to be.

Acid is a no malarky kinda thing! While many type of acid exist. The most caustic type will do almost the what was seen in those Alien films. You think a metal bulk head in a space ship gets messed up, having that on your legs…PHheewww…yer screwed!

RM13 is your best definite option against acid. Or anything, really.

[Vormithrax]

If you have to fight an acid zombie in melee try to get to a nearby vehicle if possible. If you stand on/in a vehicle space you are immune to the acid pool. Try to arrange it so both you and the acid zombie are on the vehicle so you both get the movement/action point penalty while you kill it.

[DeWolf]

Even better both of you get on a vehichle with you on an isle and it on a slower tile.

Edit: there are no Andrews here auto correct.

Keep your distance from it. If it’s a spitter or an acid zombie, butcher it instead of smashing and you’ll avoid acid splash.
