Description

Armor is an Item Group consisting of wearable items that can be equipped using the gear slots in the Character Window. All Armor items provide some form of defense while being worn. Additionally, each Armor item is associated with an armor set. Except for the primitive set, each armor set comes with a set bonus when a character is wearing all four pieces of one set.

There are 4 categories of Armor: Primitive Armor, Light Armor, Medium Armor and Heavy Armor.

Gear Slots

Character appearance as shown in upper left corner of Character Window, with gear slots on the right side

Gear slots are found on the left side of the Character Window.

They are used to equip the player's character with Armor.

There are 4 gear slots :

  • Headwear
  • Body Armor (Chest Armor and Leg Armor are now combined as of Version 1.0)
  • Gloves
  • Footwear

The table shows where each Clothing item should be placed, following the same order as the gear slots in the Character Window.

Armor properties

Basic properties

Armorhas multiple properties that affect the player's protection, movement and visibility.

  • Armor rating : gives the player protection from normal attacks such as zombies' attacks, firearms and melee weapons. It is a flat percentage that is reduced from the incoming damage before it's applied to the player. An armor rating of 50 reduces incoming damage by 50%. The maximum armor rating is 90, resulting in a whopping 90% damage reduction.
  • Explosion resistance : it's equal to armor rating but it reduces the damage taken from other elements such as explosions, fire from Molotov Cocktail and electricity from Electric Fence Post.
  • Armor crit resist : protects the player from common injuries that occur during fights. The percentage is the chance of avoiding an injury if a zombie's hit would inflict it. With armor crit resist of 50% the player should statistically get only half of the injuries compared to no armor crit resist.
  • Mobility : directly affects the player's movement speed, reducing it by the percentage shown.
  • Stamina regen : has an effect on the player's stamina regeneration when moving. While standing still, the Armor doesn't affect stamina. The value shown is for running whereas it's half of it when walking.
  • Noise : affects the general stealth the player has by increasing the stealth meter when moving compared to wearing no armor.
  • Durability : determines how long the Armor protects before breaking and needing to be repaired. Damage reduced by the Armor is divided by the amount of armor pieces worn at the moment and then deducted from the current durability of all pieces.

Buff properties

As of Version 1.0, Armor gives buffs that are specific to each item in a set.

Level properties

Armors, like Weapons and Tools, come in 6 quality levels that increase their stats and associated buffs.

Set Bonus properties

Each Armor item is associated with an armor set. Except for the primitive set, each armor set comes with a set bonus when a character is wearing all four pieces of one set, with the lowest quality item governing the strength of that bonus.
