' Well I was referring to the flak suite in general. Devilstrand dusters cover the legs, provide slightly more sharp and blunt protection, significantly more heat insulation as well as excellent heat protection, and eliminate the movement speed penalty.

However once sufficient devilstrand is available, typically by mid-late game, devilstrand dusters are almost strictly superior, with their only statistical downside being a tiny decrease in cold insulation. 'With low resource costs, accessible research, and the ability to be worn over flak vests, flak jackets can provide useful protection in the early game. Is the flak armor even worth it? I think dusters/flak vest are actually just better than flak armor.ĮDIT: forgot it was flak jacket (not armor). Late game, you need steel and components for everything, so I always just do the vest to protect vitals so I can skimp on steel to get everyone a better gun.īy more expensive armor I meant like. I find that flak armor is just too expensive to be useful. It is very economical and I tend to use it into later game than I should since I am unreasonably put off from making expensive armor due to the fact you can't repair items. The only weakness of duster/flak vest combo is weaker limb protection. Originally posted by James:a solid flak vest should keep fatalities down.
