Title: "Damaged Armor"
Post by: bushwhacker2k on June 25, 2014, 04:14:11 am
I remember discussing this before and I wanted some things to be clarified before I make a bug submission.

My Balaclava is 'Damaged', the tooltip of which states:

"One of your armor pieces has been damaged and will provide you with reduced armor bonuses until repaired."

Question:

What are "armor bonuses"?

Does this refer to all bonuses provided by the piece of armor, or specifically the Damage Reduction/Threshold bonuses?

All bonuses the armor provides. They go down linearly with durability, eg. armor with 43% durability left would only provide 43% of its full bonuses. Penalties apply even when the durability is zero.

I haven't paid much attention to the nuances of the durability system after it was introduced so I might be wrong here.

Not exactly. The penalties only start to apply when the durability goes into yellow. So 43% durability would still provide you with 100%. You don't have to keep it at 100% all the time.

Once the item enters red it also loses all its beneficial secondary modifiers (e.g. stealth bonus on some armors).
