Too bad the stats aren't what I need...

But holy shit, heartbreaker leather armor is sooo goood looking. So. Good. Looking. Hnnng.

I love this armour for its looks but i actually love it even more for its stats.
Initiative? Yes, please.
Huge bio resistance and good vs melee? Oh, yes. Serpents, creepers and locusts won't like it. Neither will some enemies in Deep Caverns. I can't sneak in that armour but there's no need for that if enemies can't hurt me. And there's no sneaking on jet ski anyway.
It also protects me from gas barrels and gas grenades i throw.
More persuasion? Now i can pass more persuasion checks. Cool.

Never claimed it was bad, just not what I need.

On my shooty chracters I prefer Infused Rathound + Seeker Googles. On my psi characters I prefer psi beetle tac vests. The extra initiative is pretty sweet, just not as awesome as killing my opponents faster with crit.

I suppose if I ran a melee build it would be pretty useful.

All the new leathers have unique looks, btw.

Do any of the new leather armours give bonuses to stealth?

I seem to remember crafting something in the new expansion, and there was an automatic bonus to stealth.

But maybe I'm just remembering it wrong.

Finally! Something other than the Tchortist Noble Robe!

I'm sold.

Well, crits are good, but when you surrounded by a lots of locusts and hartbreaker serpents, i prefer exchanging some offensive power fo not being hurt by enemies attacks at all.

Pfft leather.....get yourself some real armour, all I need are my nipps and a energy shield and ma fists

Sick looks. It is at best marginally better than CAU armor even going through the infusion roulette though, without even the acid resistance.
