Patch Notes: Armour & Weapon Balance
By Alice3
Armour finally scales with its level, weapon damage is back to an earlier build's values, and super capsules are a bit rarer.
Armour
Every vest and helmet level now blocks more than the one below it. Before, a level 4 blocked the same as a level 2.
| Vest / Helmet | Damage blocked before | Damage blocked now |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 30% | 30% |
| Level 2 | 40% | 40% |
| Level 3 | 30% | 50% |
| Level 4 | 40% | 55% |
| Level 5 | 50% | 60% |
- Vests protect the body, helmets the head. Arms and legs are never protected.
- Durability is unchanged.
Weapons
Weapon damage is back to the values of an earlier build. Damage per bullet (per pellet for shotguns):
