Interesting thing about the Zircon suit. When upgraded enough it actually has a negative net weight as with weight reduction upgrades it goes down to 7kg but it can also get an upgrade that gives you +8kg weight capacity. I love combining it with the Mask-1 as well. By the way I wish the Berill-5M wasn't a full suit since it uses the ballistic helmet as its helmet yet we see military guys with the helmet and gas mask combo that would make it a suit that both looks good and works well.
I rock with the diamond exoskeleton. I have fully upgraded it and now it's fully damaged but I don't bother getting it repaired😆. Since I've got all the artifact slots opened, the different artifact effects serve as my defense..😊
You can get the Hawk suit behind a code door at the railroad warehouse place you do the psi suit quest for ward in Zaton, it's not bad and fits the theme if you are doing a sparker playthrough. I think the code on the door is 2468 if I remember correctly.
Some exoskeletons have a unique upgrade that increases accuracy by 20%, which is not mentioned in the video. And the Duty exoskeleton (Cuirass) is the only one that does not have an upgrade for the ability to run, which clearly makes it worse than the others. And I may be wrong, but isn't the Falcon essentially a better version of the Bulat, but at the same time it is a tier lower?
The Falcon is really good, and it probably should have went the tier higher, the main thing that I was thinking at the time was that if you side with ward in the lesser zone you can rush the Bulat, you can't really do that with the Falcon I think. I honestly haven't tried though.
You can go to Falcon right after exiting the lesser zone, it is in a cache with no requirements in the storyline progress. Although the argument can be made that it is geographically further away and with blind playthrough the player most likely will not find it so quickly.
Despite beating the game, I don't think I've ever seen 3/4 of these armors. I didn't even know the Ballistic helmet existed until I looked up a guide. Most of the armor I used was stuff I earned or came across in my travels, I stole a exoskeleton when talkin to strelok but never really used it until I found out where I could upgrade it
Falcon armor numba 1! Since you mentioned the bulat to cheeky tier im gonna compare the 2 on what's better. Not a fan of exo suits tho and I dont intent to end the game wearing any of the exo suits unless required by the story/game to progress. Already in pripyat looking for under ground entrance and is still wearing falcon. Overall falcon for me is a good medium armor/overall armor. Will try bulat and see what's better.
Falcon is quite good, the main reason I put the Bulat higher was that you can rush it right out the lesser zone if you side with Ward. The Falcon probably should have been a tier higher though, it does have some great stats.
Sunrise suit, at least cosmetically speaking is my favorite. Classic stalker look, very nostalgic. I would like the PSZ-12v Bulat but I don’t like how it’s basically a Freedom faction suit. I like looking neutral and from a rp sense don’t want to be associated with any faction I can’t actually join. (Plus I’m more of a Duty man)
Note that some of the exoskeletons do not have a sprint option Bulwark exosuit being one and the other being the curiass exoskeleton good ranking video overall tho
@ReapeeRon i would have thought that the TOZ would have secretly been good but it's actually trash in comparison to pretty much everything. It's a shame because I love the look of it.
@@xtacosmellyx795 its a shame because in the OG games the ToZ served as your first shotgun and sniper with slugs this game should just make ammo the balance priority
Why are you don't consider upgrades? With them some armors that have 4 artifacts slots can get 5 slots and 4 lead containers on top of that. Upgraded Falcon have maximum phys. defence stat and is Exoskeleton tier armor despite being heavy armor, it's clearly way better than Bulat and Corundum and you can easily find it in early stages of the game. Diamond exoskeleton is the best armor stat wise, but stats is not all that should be considered. Operator exoskeleton and Ruby exosuit can be upgraded with +20% accuracy on all weapons and it's really makes shooting better, especially with LMG. In practice small difference in stats when fully upgraded between this armors and Diamond exoskeleton not so noticiable, so i personally prefer them over DE

Yeah that thing is expensive to get repaired.
I don't know if I've already mentioned this but I really like the "welcome to (setting), welcome to (game title)" intros.

Upgraded SEVA-I can get Bulat levels of armor with better anomaly and psi defense, plus you get it for free after Malachite, it's great.

SSP-99 (heavily updated) carried me until a big fight on the roof of Duha, I switched to corundum at that point.

@@ReapeeRon oh I see I guess I'm gonna have to look for on my second playthrough. Thanks bro.
You can rush the falcon also, it’s just farther

Seva suit my beloved
All you need is the Bulat. Its Endgame gear
ruby has an upgrade for improved aim (arm servomotors)
What's the best shotgun for slugs
Probably either the Saiga or the M860, they both can have pretty high accuracy with upgrades, and the M860 can use the Acog Sight.

Run to Yaniv, do the thing with the box... Diamond. Cheeki Breeki. (Then cry as you won't have nearly enough money to upgrade / fix it. :D :D :D )
Can't sprint in Curiass exo. Sucks
Love the vid👍
Hell Yeah❤
Thanks!
