legel 0 Posted May 19, 2016 Is there any downside to having a ruined backpack? I always see dropped ruined backpacks, most likely from bodies. What's stopping me from taking them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etherious 907 Posted May 19, 2016 Well, generally ruined items don't protect you from damage while badly damaged and higher items do protect from damage (barely). Also, ruined items look like complete ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soulfirez 901 Posted May 19, 2016 Dont know if its still a plan but there was some talk (like nearly 2 years ago) to have items drop from badly damaged or worse items (which would be a good mechanic having you run around with your ruined backpack dropping your lootz for us all to find and maybe find you to boot..) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Judged_Guitly 80 Posted May 20, 2016 It may not give you protection but if you dont have one, pick that $hit up. Besides, a ruined condition offers better camouflage. I wish you could intentionally degrade certain items like pants because the pristine condition has a little bit of a shine that I dont care for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reminds me of the version of the bible (King James Version - Book 18: Job) that made your backpack disappear. That shit was hilarious 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Killawife 599 Posted May 21, 2016 Theres no downside to using a ruined backpack. The damage reduction is minimal and most likely not noticed at all. Even damage reduction from clothes isnt that big so you can use ruined ones for the slots. Damage reduction is very much based upon the ammo type used. If shot with weak ammo, Clothes and backpack state DOES provide an advantage, but when shot with assault weapons or high-powered rifles it really doesnt matter. You will die. It might as well be quick so you can click that respawn button. The whole damage system is kinda bonkers. You can sometimes get shot multiple times and shrug it off and survive and other times get 1 shot with a trumpet when fully energized and hydrated, wearing plate carrier and space marine power armour. WOBO has soem great videos on it but it doesnt seem very consistent with how it SHOULD work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emuthreat 2837 Posted May 21, 2016 I was getting the impression on .59 that inventory items stored inside ruined clothing/backpacks would slowly degrade in condition over time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
