• Why are radsuits so OP?
    6 replies, posted
I know many of you will think this is silly because many play in groups of 3+ but as a solo player it's pretty baffling to me why radsuits are so ridiculously good. I thought the whole idea behind them originally was a lack of defense in exchange for rad protection(much like frog boots which give literally nothing but rad protect) Can someone explain the mentality of why a single piece item like radsuit gives such high projectile resistance? I mean I guess there's a helmet but it gives that all across the board. I think it's just silly that when it comes to rad protection people are going to the top of launch site in clothes for better rad protection and for battling they're wearing radsuits. Surely I can't be the only one who thinks radsuits could use a nerf if only to even the playing field for us little guys who don't have an extra 30 throw away radsuits back at base so we go out in cloth/leather.
Please don't complain, hazzy's are great
That's the problem though, they're the best cheap kit to go out with and basically invalidate everything that isn't road sign or heavy armour. It's ugly and kinda defies the whole point of why radsuits were added in the first place. I'm open to hear why having a full 30% projectile resistance on a single piece item that everyone ends up with a ton of is balanced or healthy for the game if you got something to say though.
I think they are great, I see no "unhealthy for the game" issues. Its like any protection that is added to the game, some people like it some hate it and complain about it. Its now part of the game and most players are happy about it or they would not be running around wearing it, There are issues wearing it when your base is in a cold biome and you have to maintain a fire and be close to it or you can die (if processing a lot of ore/gunpowder etc) . And I see you are living up to the intent in your profile "you just joined to complain about stuff".
It is also piss-poor at absorbing melee damage. The suit is not OP at all.
I guess using melee on radsuits is something and they do cost high quality metal to craft but.... they're so all over the place that I'm kinda convinced no one really crafts them. I feel like it invalidates other armour and the fact everyone is using one over real armour even when roaming with AKs and bolts is indication they're OP. I mean of course everyone will use it if it's just outright better than everything else for the cost, doesn't really prove it's well implemented or balanced.
I have never found that so, I have no difficulty in finding them or getting cloth and leather from animals or cloth from cacti or hemp bushes.
