Armor Rating is not working.

[Rainku]

I don't know what might have caused this, but armor is not working as it's intended. It states that each 10 points of armor is suppose to take away 1 point of damage.. well I have 1544 armor and there is literaly 0 damage-recieving diference when I have my armor on or when I take it off. I have tested this across all difficulties.

I have tried many things such as reloading, using diferent pieces of armor, removing weapons, restarting game etc. Armor just does not apply.

Melee bypasses armor.

Yeah I figured that, but I tested it with a very low risk enemy with a pistol and an smg. The pistol killed me in 3 shots and the smg in about 10 shots. I loaded and took all my clothes off and the pistol killed me in 3 shots and the smg in about 10. No difference.

Test against multiple enemies just to make sure. Also, go into your inventory screen and unequip then re-equip the armor. There are a LOT of bugs.

Some enemies have perks to ignore armor, so that is one possible result.

Sometimes the game glitches and things you have armor enequipped, meaning it does not work.

Done some testing and I think I might know how armor is working, might be wrong though:

On normal difficulty, armor mitigates 1 point of dmg per 10 armor.
On hard difficulty, armor mitigates 1 point of dmg per 40 armor.

So on normal, if you have 1611 armor and an enemy does 100 dmg per shot, you will only recieve 1 dmg per shot.
On hard, you will recieve 60 dmg per shot.

Which would explain why I couldn't feel a diference in damage recieved playing on hard if I'm right.
