I did a test the last few days on it( on my youtube community) which confirmed that for every piece of gear you have on around 50 resisance Equals 2 less damage from an enimies firearms. Ironclad is the same, equals 2 damage reduction. There is also a minimum damage cap of about 2 damage ( an enemy can not do less than 2 damage). Power armors 7% reduction pretty well brings you to this cap.

Another great video ! So , Ive been a low health / OverEater Union/Hellcat build for about 400 levels . ( im level 610 now) About 200 levels ago i swapped to a PowerArmor / Unyielding SecreService build . I would put on the PA in any event . Here recently i tried a SecretService combination of - 3 pcs Unyielding , 2pcs OverEaters . That seemed to work pretty good .. So then i just went to a full set of OverEater SecretService armor ( with all of the perk cards for regular armor ) and I legit do not need my PA unless its in a nuke zone . From someone who is used to standing in the middle of the spawn point at Eviction Notice and being able to just sit my controller down and tank everything , The OE SS armor is amazing . Of course its not THAT tanky .. But im a close up / Run and Gun kind of player and i hardly ever go down . Perk cards are way more essential with normal armor than it is with PA and it took me basically 500 levels to realize this .

I had not realized that ricochet could proc the vampire effect, this is gonna be game changing for my vampire chainsaw build, thanks for sharing!

This was the MOST HELPFUL video for my commando/tank build. I can't run my full VATS build with the cards, but eventually when I max out my character, I should have enough skill points to become an absolute MONSTER 😮

I wear heavy metal amour because it looks cool.

That is way cool. unfortunatley I use power armor, would the ricochet/vampire thing work with mutations like Electrically Charged or Unstable Isotope?

according to the data online the difference in resistances matters and you feel a GREAT impact up to 100 resistance, then its still pretty good until 350 which is the soft cap. From there you barely notice a difference but there is until 500 which is the quasi hard cap at which point you get the most reduction from resistance. The actual hard cap is 1000 but only specialised suits can give you one resistance that high and the difference to 500 isnt that big either. Power armor is a must for tankiness a you get a natural 35% damage reduction + potential 30% more from overeaters bonus. At that point you could go for emergency protocolls fdor another 50% at which point youll take less than 1 damage from most attacks

Frankly Vampires is wasted on a Unyielding build as Bloodied allows you to kill things. Only reason that Unyielding+Vampires worked in the video was the double laser turrets. Slower bigger packets of damage would have destroyed him.... Bears, Ghouls, Scorched beasts, etc. Then add in poison damage, fire, explosives, Rads... a lot of factors he did not touch on.

Wait are you saying that speed demon also makes me take more damage as well?

I think you're being a bit disingenuous. It all about perspective and what you want in a build. Sure, you can perk into damage mitigation and ignore armor values, but the opposite is also true. You can perk more into damage dealing while specifically targeting native armor values/mods/legendary effects. You could take Heavy Leather armor for the native increase in energy resistance and take Barbarian, for instance; or use Chems/Food/Mutations to cover for any deficiencies while keeping your Perks open for more variety.

I was thinking about a machete bleed "Hack n Slash" kinda build. I dont know if i really need thorn armor to get anywhere with it, or if the civil engineer one would do just fine. Already got 3 characters in a tin can so i thought another one without PA wouldnt hurt. I dont even know yet if i wanna go for full or low life. I just hope it doesnt suck :'D

How does this work at all without the vampire effect? 🤔

Mr Gusty walks in…

Most of my armor is overeaters on most of my characters. Used to have vanguards. One of my alts trying to get full set of covert with chameleon. In excavator PA with the energy absorption, ricochet, vamp, overeaters, and full health I hardly die. The alien invasion events were a breeze. Eviction notice is fairly easy. I still have not tried a low health, just seems like a lot of hassle to me.

Secret service still rocks for my melee character. I can soak in all those rad storms and still come out unscathed, something a thorn armor doesnt have.

I use civil engineer armor which doesn't have numbers as high as SS but even with that I still feel immortal in it. Both in my commando and my unarmed builds are fine in it. Perks and weapon do the heavy lifting. Anytime I hit about 50% health i can switch to a vamp weapon like Love Tap or my vamp Gauntlet and dying just doesn't happen. Nevermind the absurd number of stimpaks the game throws at you.

full set of unyielding anything gives +15 strength. More carry weight out of PA than in PA.

If you wouldn't forget Nerd Rage and would instead have PA with Emergency Protocols (and high res to being with as they do stack on top of percentual dmg reductions) then you would see what low HP can actually tank. Only issue I personally see is that you ofc don't want to run Vampire with low health as primary weapon (it's just something you swap to when you need to top up). However you made me wonder... does Suppressor work with Ricochet? Because if so...

that HP regen from Vamp seemed to be a LOT more than 2% When it procked every once in a while your HP was steadily going back to full even without it procking the ricochet perk?

I just have the regular at of the armor and mods but for legendary I prefer the % DMG mitigation or whatever.

So like aristocrats/ vanguards what's the best high health modification to stay at high health? Like what's the max tanky high health?

It took me 400 lvl to understand how to survive like a god even in low health junkies.... Second character is lvl 51 melee only with only 1 piece of random armor uny, I can farm wastek without even getting down a single time .. the moment you understand how to build is whats the most important you will be able to do anything

I personally got lucky with my secret service build, unyielding build with extra intelligence and I can jump from anywhere and take zero fall damage

This is very neat and stuff, but my build isn't themed in a way where I can do this and still feel in theme I'm basically making a ghoul character, just someone who doesn't care about radiation damage and actually thrives off of it a bit

If you want a jet pack it matters. After that it down to how you wanna look. Good video

yes and no, as a bloodied build i prefer armor to atleast have somewhat of a rad resistance so i don´t have to manage it all the time if a ghoul knaws on my knees.

I think an easy way to look at it is a pie chart where the full chart is 100% damage reduction, if all your damage reduction is in perk DR% and not much in armor. then more perk DR is less effective then say, 50 more armor. considering that is radically more then say 0. ideally you want both balanced out. as that's the most effective. since the damage reduction on armor is a curve of diminishing returns, the more armor you have the even less effective it is. so yeah, 300 armor vs 500 armor isn't much in practice, but i can grantee 8 to 300 is a vastly different performance. and then it gets complicated because some things are multiplicitive/additive in various ways. I can tell you with my Unyielding Brotherhood recon set I run silos without bothering on killing ads. I just simply run through. (not sneaked) but it is a balance of both perks and end-game tanky armor.

Personally for a full unyielding build I have Barbarian over Blocker and Evasive over dodgy. Combined with nerd rage and all the other defensive perks mentioned you end up being a low health tank with seemingly unlimited AP and recovery. As long as you stay mobile through SS jetpack or marsupial you dont die all that often and deal insane damage. Plus the 30 Strength with scout backpack you emd up with over 500 carry weight too.

Nerd Rage is the major one missing from the low health build, but yeah it requires 20% instead of 25%. And then just adding Radicool and Barbarian are fun for me bc of the insane carry weight buff out of PA

True. The final full health loadout is how I normally spec that character. The vampire handmade is one of two guns I carry on that character. The only difference between the video and how I play is that I normally shoot back ;-)

@@wiggle_plays Must would use Quad or something else. Vampire is like maybe 3rd or 4th best out of the other lengendaries. But hey, you do you.

Super helpful!

fun fact: level 1 or 2 serendipity is all you need

Can I ask why? I have mine maxed should I swap it for lvl 1 and maybe put another crit card?

this true?

This is a fantastic, informative video.

On any game I tried to keep in mind flat damage or defense numbers medium focus then percent protection on anything else or % damage can increase a lot so flat (2 ) and (10 )% on damage or defense

Is the vampire also triggered by the Reactive Plates of Power Amors?

To any new players watching this click bait titled video, your armour most certainly does matter. Like this video does show, you CAN get yourself a build with perks (that rely entirely on using only vampires weapons) that make it less crucial to have good armour, but if you'd rather use cards that help you loot things instead of going all in on damage mitigation, there is a night and day difference between say an Excavator and T-65. Even with good tank perks, better armour stats are still going to save you on healing cost, assuming you're not wanting to throw a good chunk of DPS away on vampires. If you're new to the game vampires is a great starter weapon, but once you've got your build sorted, move to Aristocrats, Anti-Armour, Junkies or the ever popular Bloodied. Oddly one of the larger tank armour rolls I don't think was mentioned in this video. The Sentinel effect on armour is huge for a tank. In summary, if you can get better resists on your armour, do it and you'll be able to pick more freely from your perk pool so you're not stuck using tank cards you don't need like Blocker or Electric Absorption to make up for your poor armour resists.

If that vampires has explosive on it I wonder if that works as well

Thats good. Because i use two part with acrobatics to negate fall dmg ans i swear is just sweet to jump a cliff like nothing

Armor is a thing that is nice if you have, but you don't rlly need it. For me, so long as I have a Weapon Weight Reduction set, idc about any of the other effects.

Was told to have that as well and yeah, that opens up three points of my strength which is pretty nice.

I literally run weight reduction on all my armours and its a godsend. Mainly drugs and weapon weight since im a hoarder. But ammo reduction is nice while imo junk is rather useless.

What id like to see tested is overeaters paired against non overeaters with rejuvenated and still have full hunger and thirst meters almost every you tube test I've seen to compare anything with overeaters whatever they test it against they never use rejuvenated. To really see how much difference there is we know there is benefits with full thirst and hunger meters and rejuvenated without overeaters, and yes I know overeaters is still better to have but I don't see anyone test in this way

Yes, this video is very useful I am showing all my friends that play fallout This

Bro where did you get that blue ridge cap ?

I think it was from the Atomic Shop

This video got you a new sub

A full set Overeaters/sentinel is op, but a pain to get.

Nice to see wiggles is learning 😉

I usually just run ss armour since the jetpack is wonderful and i generally dont have/never had survivability problems, im more running into damage problems over my f76 career.

I would use secret service anyway for the jetpack and dense or the fall damage mod

Rad video bro cheers
