Flexbyte Posted November 23, 2024 Report Posted November 23, 2024 If I would only wear upper body leather armor giving 60% / 0.6 protection If I now add legs to this that also give 60% / 0.6 protection What differs between the two situations? Do the legs add another 60% protection on top of the body leather armor protection? What happens if you would have legs with 70% and body armor of 60%: how to the numbers combine?
Solution Streetwind Posted November 23, 2024 Solution Report Posted November 23, 2024 They don't combine. Leg armor protects the leg slot. Body armor protects the body slot. Helmets protect the head slot. Whenever an attack lands, the game decides which slot is hit. If you have armor there, that armor mitigates the hit. If you don't have armor there, it goes through unmitigated. For example, if you wear just body armor, but nothing on legs and head, you can expect around half of the hits you take to be mitigated by armor, and the other half will hit you as if you were unarmored. 1

These are oversimplifications though, because of the tier system. I don't know what the % are for location, I thought I remember seeing a breakdown somewhere but I can't find it. Also pretty sure headshots do more damage.
