With heavy armor your defenses are pretty incredible and you can face tank quite a few bosses, but can't dodge their attacks well or carry off much of the loot. With light armor, you can carry more, dodge faster and run farther, but you sacrifice defense. Wearable armor comes in light, medium and heavy and each has its own benefits. The fifth perk in Survival, Bronzed Physique, reduces incoming direct damage by 10%, but is not armor and does not show up in armor value, it just happens. The intrinsic armor never decays like wearable armor does in Durability. Since it is unlikely anyone would max out Agility, be aware there are buffs that add to agility, thus, your armor value, leading to, again, damage reduction. These will show in the Inventory screen as the sum total of both intrinsic and equipped armor. There is also the third perk in Grit, Iron-hard Muscles which adds a moderate amount of armor value. So, if you max out Agility, you have an Armor value of 200 as a basis from which to add the values in your wearable armor. Every point in Agility grants 4 armor, without wearing anything. Together with your selection of temperature resistance, bonus attributes and aesthetics, this will determine what armor you want to craft or loot.ĭidn't know there was any? Don't feel alone. Looking at each piece you can add the values and if you wear that armor, that total will be shown on the Inventory screen. So, better armor and you last longer and are able to fight more powerful enemies.Īrmors are listed on the Wiki and if you view an individual piece the armor value is shown. As the armor value rises, the damage reduction also rises. If you tab over to the Stats screen you will see the effect of that armor as Total Damage Reduction = X% (right). We all wear armor and that armor's total value is shown on your Inventory screen (left).
