Good video :thumbsup:  

So it makes a good sense to drop down from the hunter backpack i have, to the improvised backpack with ammo case and protector cases. Also to let go of excess food, etc etc to minimise items in inventory :)

 

Got my :beans:  :thumbsup:  ,  Thankyou for testing it.

Thank you!

 

Exactly yes. You can store a lot of energy and water thankfully. The improvised backpack is my favorite anyway :)

Very nice. Could you perhaps test having items inside chest slot items, just to be sure? Items inside vests and items inside jackets.

I have a few questions:

 

From your "How Items Protect Players | Backpacks - FT. Press and Anti Stab Vests (Part 3)' video at 1:37:

 

"Little did we know that dead bodies take a huge amount of additional damage compared to a living player."

 

My question is: How do you know that the gear on those bodies at that particualr time/build did not recieve an additional amount of damage as well? Can you prove/disprove this?

 

Also, are those bodies dupes? They appear to be the same person. Did that person die, respawn, and run back to said location? Do not take this as insult if not true, but for the sake of science the question must be asked.

 

At 3:33 of the same video you shoot your test dummy wearing a Press Vest at very close range [2 meters minimum] and kill it with one bullet.

 

Doesn't distance play a roll in damage?

 

I've been shot at longer distances than that with several FNX shots and more than survived to tell the tale whle wearing a press vest and without. I have also been shot with Mosin rounds in the back and front [on more than one occassion] of a press vest and 1x it went from pristine to ruined and 1x it went from pristine to damaged. I didn't go black and white and just bled. In both instances I ran to cover for several minutes and survived. In both instances I was shot from a distance of 100-200 meters max. This tells me that distance does play a role in damage because I know I was hit in the vest as only the vest had damage and nothing else. The instance I was shot in the back, I took a Mosin round as well as M4 rounds. I know the sounds of the gun and took damage at intervals of fire from different weapons systems.

 

Looking to learn more about this phenomenon.

1. My question is: How do you know that the gear on those bodies at that particualr time/build did not recieve an additional amount of damage as well? Can you prove/disprove this?

 

2. Also, are those bodies dupes? They appear to be the same person. Did that person die, respawn, and run back to said location? Do not take this as insult if not true, but for the sake of science the question must be asked.

3. Doesn't distance play a roll in damage?

 

4. I've been shot at longer distances than that with several FNX shots and more than survived to tell the tale whle wearing a press vest and without. I have also been shot with Mosin rounds in the back and front [on more than one occassion] of a press vest and 1x it went from pristine to ruined and 1x it went from pristine to damaged.

1. Sorry, I don't really understand the question. Do you mean: item stats may have changed in recent patches? The only thing we discovered from that part of the experiment is that dead bodies have no base armor values.

2. Yes. Every test included a live player that had just respawned. I don't dupe items for experiments.

3. We shot our test dummy at 1m with a mosin round and 820m~, it seemed to do the same damage. With the new way of collecting data, we can retest this with extreme accuracy.

4. More than likely, you were shot in the arm of shoulder. Chest protection covers the entire chest, back and arms.. even if the model of the item doesn't look like it would(backpacks for example).
