Loot 2.0 Armor Changes (VU 15.15, June 2017)

MindArk made significant changes to how armors work:

Key Changes:

Armor decays significantly less per point of damage absorbed
No minimum decay based on total protection - always proportional to damage absorbed
Armor absorbs ALL incoming damage - no more 1.0 damage taken on full absorption (shown as "Deflected" message)
Armor and platings decay independently based on actual damage each absorbs, not both decaying as if absorbing full damage
Armor decay is now linear per point of damage absorbed (not increasing cost per damage)

Armor Economy (Durability)

Base Protection Cost:

20 hp / pec - This is the standard armor durability baseline.

Comparison with Healing Tools:

Protection Method	Economy
Armor (base)	~20 hp/pec
EMT Kit Ek-2600 Improved	20 hp/pec
Refurbished H.E.A.R.T Rank VI	18 hp/pec
Vivo S10	12.31 hp/pec
Herb Box	10.06 hp/pec
EMT Kit Ek-2350	4 hp/pec

Conclusion: Armor is very economical compared to most healing tools.

Armor Progression Guide

1. First Armor: Graduation Set

Get by graduating with a Mentor
Each planet has unique graduation armor
Best choice: Atlas (NI) or Musca Adjusted (Arkadia)

2. Early Game: Before Ghost

Add plates first! Get 5B plates for your graduation armor.

Then choose:

Gremlin - Most versatile armor
Nemesis - Upgradeable to Adjusted Nemesis (robot armor)
Ghost - Most protection for the money (recommended)

3. Mid Game: After Ghost+5B

Options (price jump!):

Adjusted Nemesis (~2.5k PED) - Good for robots
Lion (~5-6.5k PED) - Robot Beacon drops
Adjusted Boar (~7.5-9.5k PED) - 30 Impact, Dodge buff
Looted (L) pieces - Cheap bridge option

4. End Game

Upgraded Angel
Upgraded Gorgon
Modified Viceroy (avatar bound, ~9k PED)

Damage Absorption Mechanics (Post-Loot 2.0)

How Protection Works:

Plate takes damage first (if equipped)
Armor takes remaining damage
Player takes overflow (if any)

Decay Calculation:

Plate decay = (damage_absorbed_by_plate / total_plate_protection) × plate_decay_rate
Armor decay = (damage_absorbed_by_armor / total_armor_protection) × armor_decay_rate

Key Point: Plate and armor decay independently based on actual damage each absorbs.

Example:

Monster hits: 20 Impact damage
Plate protects: 15 Impact
Armor protects: 5 Impact (remaining)
Player takes: 0 damage (deflected)

Decay:

Plate decays for absorbing 15 damage
Armor decays for absorbing 5 damage

Armor Buffs

Many armor sets offer buffs:

20% increased Dodge chance
10-20% increased Evade chance
3% faster reload speed
5% Acceleration
1-4% Block chance
Heal over time

Block Chance: Some upgraded plates have Block Chance - when triggered, hit is nullified (no damage, no decay).

Armor Sets Reference

Entry Level:

Gremlin - Most versatile early armor
Ghost - Best protection for price
Nemesis - Robot hunting, upgradeable

Mid Level:

Adjusted Nemesis - Robot specialist
Lion - Stab-focused protection
Adjusted Boar - 30 Impact, Dodge buff

High Level:

Angel (upgraded)
Gorgon (upgraded)
Modified Viceroy (avatar bound)

Plating Strategy

General Rule:

5B plates are the standard early-game addition
Match plates to mob's damage type
All 7 plates should match (don't mix types)

Plate Types:

5B - General purpose (Impact/Stab/Cut)
6A - Cold/Electric protection
5C - Burn/Acid protection
Custom plates for specific mobs

Implementation Notes for Lemontropia Suite

Decay Formula: Linear per damage point absorbed
Plate Priority: Plates absorb first, then armor
Independent Decay: Each piece decays separately
Deflected Message: Indicates full absorption (0 player damage)
Block Chance: Roll for block before applying damage
Protection Stacking: Plate + Armor protection values add

Key Formulas

Cost Per Hit:

armor_cost = (damage_absorbed_by_armor / armor_protection) × armor_decay_per_pec
plate_cost = (damage_absorbed_by_plate / plate_protection) × plate_decay_per_pec
total_cost = armor_cost + plate_cost

Protection Calculation:

total_protection = armor_protection + plate_protection
if total_protection >= damage:
    player_damage = 0
    absorbed_by_plate = min(damage, plate_protection)
    absorbed_by_armor = damage - absorbed_by_plate
else:
    player_damage = damage - total_protection
    absorbed_by_plate = plate_protection
    absorbed_by_armor = armor_protection
