My question is when you were shooting through the backpack did it ruin the stuff inside even though you did not hit the person ??

Forgot to include that! And no, it didn't.

i've followed your videos with keen interest, great work.

 

Two questions from me:

 

1. What is the best combination of clothes, backpack and vest which provides the best protection against ballistic, stab and blunt damage?

e.g. Mountain backpack + Press vest + TTsKO?

 

2. What is the impact of item quality, for each scope/sight?

 

e.g. badly damaged buis vs Pristine, or worn LRS vs Pristine LRS?

 

p.s. I'd love it if you made a distance PU / LRS guide!

 

Thanks!

Thanks Hitt0r!

 

To answer your first question(chest only in 0.43):

Ballistic: Riders Jacket, Anti Stab Vest and Mountain Backpack/Hunting Backpack/Child Briefcase.

Stabbing(bleed damage): Riders Jacket, Anti Stab Vest and Mountain Backpack/Hunting Backpack/Child Briefcase with no items inside your clothing at all.

Blunt: Any chest(T-shirt, etc), any vest but the Anti Stab Vest, and Mountain Backpack/Hunting Backpack/Child Briefcase with no items inside your clothing at all.

 

Helmets:

The ballistic helmet is the best against ballistic damage.

The hard hat is the best against shock damage.

The Ballistic Helmet and Pilot Helmet are the best against stab/bleed attacks.

 

***Maximum protection is achieved at pristine quality level(Excluding the Mountain Backpack).

 

Your 2nd question will be answered soon, probably the next video as 4 other people have asked the same question.

Nice in the name of science, have my beans.  :beans:

Question.

 

Could you make test which way is fastest to get up on steep hill, running zigzag or just walking straight?

Mmmm, beans! Thanks.

 

This would be dependent on elevation.

On steeper hills it's better to walk than zigzaging. Then again, zigzaging is useful for dodging bullets. I'd say it is very situational.

[Fry76 23]

Well... thanks for trying to answer. I know myself that downhill its faster to zigzag, btw yesterday I killed 2 zeds by zigzaging downhill and those bastards tried to jump on me but jumped into their darkness cause elevation was high.

What about the impact of Bipods?

 

i.e. Standing deployed/retreacted Kneeling Deployed/Retracted Prone deployed/retracted also quality of bipod too? :)
