      Ive been running the Osprey for days now, lost many of them. Running high tier gear doesn't make you invincible. It increases your chances of survival, not eliminates risk all together.
      Point is, only run gear you can afford to lose. Sometimes it makes sense to sell the level 6 plates to help fund a few lower tier kits.

  • @pagingdoctorsideburns
    @pagingdoctorsideburns 4 месяца назад +4

    Huge W content Giga, I hope this cuts down on all the disinformation and noise around hitbox zones and whatnot. Only thing is I wish you had taken a little more into account practical availability of plates themselves; for example the Korund is a mediocre carrier as you pointed out but it’s a cheap way to get class V plates and they don’t go in anything better as a carrier, which makes it a little more valuable in my eyes. Another thing is I think something like the Eclipse has a lot of practical value - available at early vendors, for rubles, and is a rig for Red Rebel and has all the weird magazine sizes covered too. That bumps it up for me.

    One aspect of the new armor system that I'm interest in experimenting with is the option to really min/max for weight, and I think that's where a lot of the "E" tier armors come in. by no means would it be meta but it may still be a niche that these armors can fill.
    Say I'm sniping for instance, for one thing I don't really *need* that level of protection because ideally I'm not getting into too many direct engagements. But on top of that, I'm also probably carrying around a relatively heavy rifle AND a secondary weapon for closer ranges, my weapons are already weighing me down a lot and I don't want a fully plated-up osprey weighing me down too.
    Normally I've been running the RBAV tho. perfect balance of protection, weight, and drip.

    I think now that we have a more nuanced armor system it’s time they make large protection area armor more punishing in ergo so the minimalist plate carriers don’t become completely irrelevant. Weight of soft armor can also be more realistically reflected. Heck, some design like the CPC can even add ergo in combo with plates since IRL its designed to handle heavy loads super well.

    Is there any consideration that perhaps with late-wipe labs when everyone's slinging M995 and the soft armor will make no difference at all anyway, something like a Slick or Hexgrid might become better than it currently is at this stage of the wipe? Or would you still think it will be superior to just put the top tier plates into something with extra soft armor protection anyway?

    So I'm trying my best to understand this. At the end of the video it says you don't have to worry about the shape of the armor because of it says if it covers an area it covers an area. Do the plates do the same thing or are the plates actually only protecting their shape? If the armor has a giant hole in the side compared to another one but still has side armor does that mean it protects the whole side or just where the side armor is physically located visually?

    • @Gigabeef
      @Gigabeef  4 месяца назад +1

      Plates are similar but there is a difference between western and Eastern plates. Western is more thorax/less stomach, eastern is less thorax/more stomach.
      But yes plates basically protect their shape.
      Side is confusing now because no armor covers the thorax side, only stomach side. This is what is referred to on the soft armor, and yes all armor with side is the same area protected. Side plates specifically can be a bit different but at their highest go right up to the thorax hitbox but never cover it. This is for ones like the osprey. The zabralo is really low on the side plates for example.

    Been having a lot of luck with the banshee. I don't know if it's just me that feels this way but it seems like a great budget option that keeps you light and nimble. Killed lots of juicers on interchange just because of the speed difference and tanked their center mass shots with level 5 front plates. For 30-40k for the rig and maybe 10k-15k for level 4 front back and side plates to hold you over until you find better plates, it can't be beat imo.

    The problem with F tier armor is that you take full body torso damage even though you get hit on a non critical part of the body. If there was a way to make those hits do 60-70% damage they would be less useless... but having even more hitboxes in a game plagued by desync is probably asking for disaster.

      @@Gigabeef It would also make a heap of sense.
      In reality literally none of the armors with "Plate carrier" in the name (and some others besides those, too) come with any integrated soft armor. Very, very commonly soldiers will wear a soft armor similar to the PACA for protection from shrapnel and such, and then a plate carrier on top of that for protection of vital organs against actual bullets (and larger, faster shrapnel). In fact, if anything, systems like the Osprey and IOTV where you have soft armor, plates and webbing all in one are actually uncommon, especially outside of military forces - and even actual military forces aren't necessarily going to use that if they can. For instance, I can tell you from personal experience that Estonia went from that three-in-one deal to having a plate carrier with webbing and then a separate soft armor under that.
      So yeah, absolutely, we should be able to get a PACA, and then put an MBSS on top of that for plates and loot space.
      Thankfully none of this is particularly relevant to me since I just use the 6B23-2. Eastern plates may have less coverage, but they're also way cheaper, and honestly I hardly ever have to repair my armor after a raid anyway, which indicates that I'd probably be better off not even bothering with class 4 armor lol.

      Yeah this would be an interesting system, would hopefully give some options for players (because right now its only a select few armors that are gonna be used tbh), but BSG would need to split up the armor slot into 2 - "Soft armors" & "Plate carriers".

      They need to add multipliers to non-vital torso areas. One HP round to the shoulder shouldn't insta-kill you. Make it like 60% of original damage until they can figure out a better solution and the problem is solved.

    They need to adjust non vital areas with different hitboxes and multipliers. Armor was made to protect all the important bits but getting shot in the collar bone or grazed in the armpit area is a kill. This made most of the armor useless and it’s antithetical to the progression of the video game.

  • @rinaldoman3331

    Some vests, like the green Uley, do not have collarbone protection and anything can one-shot you there and it will be considered as a thorax. Naturally, the scavs are constantly shooting there, the developers are great...

    6B13 is the most OP sleeper armor this patch. You get this from scavs frequently, for free, it is class 4, it repairs insanely well (that's the most OP thing in my opinion), cheaply, and it is common, heavy and bulky, so noone takes it from your body. Also you can easily buy class 5 plates for it, and they are heavy and bulky as well, so even taking them out of your armor is usually a nuisance for person looting you. Most of my insured 6B13s return to me, even with class 5 plates, and I have to spend 10k max to repair it, and I'm ready to go. And it covers you pretty good, has neck and groin protection, it is ultimate versus scavs, and ok versus players. In meta where you usually get sprayed into face anyway there is no point in taking more expensive and rare armor, especially spending like 200k on them

    They need to implement vital organ hitboxes for this armor system to be balanced. Like 2x damage on the heart, 1.5x on the windpipe, 1x on the lungs, and 0.5x if no vital organ is hit. Shots that graze the sides of your chest or your shoulders should not be so critical (And the top of the shoulders should really belong to the arm hitbox)

    • @garyhamilton2104

    It's been quite a lot of different information from a multitude of great community contributing RUclipsrs, but it seems that there is a major divide between the understanding of the new armor system, so I'm asking it here to see if anyone could clarify it with certainty.
    Does the armor system protect you based on the newly divided hitbox models (throat, neck, armpit, groin and buttocks, etc.) or do they employ the exact visual model of soft armor? On Pestily's video he suggested it to be a complete visual model, and Leviticus mentioned some armor having bigger side gaps therefore easier to be hit in the side thorax hit-box, which suggests that some people understand the system as a complete visual model, and in your video you mentioned it as a hit-box protection instead.
    Please if anyone knows the actual answer, I've been trying to find out for a while.

    I've been using a lot of the E rated ones myself as they're really cheap, give tons of space for loot, doesn't weigh me down a lot when using lighter plates, and also very importantly IMO is how much room they take in your stash. as all these higher rated ones don't give you any space for loot to claim back some stash space. So far this wipe I've just adapted the "don't rely on your armour" mentality and rather tried using guns that work well and just.. shoot first I guess :p
    They *really* need to add a way of seeing exactly how much of the body is covered by the armour etc. at this point we need like a whole war thunder style of armour preview lol
