  • To follow up on my Best Weapons video, here's the same with armors and outfits in Anomaly 1.5 beta 3.0.
    It's a bit more complicated than weapons and you should see any armor as a tool that you use for a specific purpose, so there is not really a "best armor in the game" but more of a "good armor to do x thing".
    Indirectly we're talking about the factions with the best outfits in this video.

    It's a solid video and you're 100% right about the ACE being one of the best however a lot of the information is innacurate. The best suits are:
    Duty Heavy Armor (TB-1 Woodland Camo) Best Heavy Armor (Exo-light) in the game
    UNISG Exoskeleton. Is actually the best Exosuit. Has higher overall stats in every category compared to every other Exosuit.
    Freedom "Nosorog" Exoskeletal Armor. Freedom coming in from out of nowhere with one of the hardest hitting new Rhino suits. If you get a chance to get one, pick it up. It's very strong. Pretty much better in every category with the exception of a few armors that have 1 or 2 stats that are higher.
    The best SSP-99 is the basic SSP-99M Suit it has the best overall stats. The Sapphire has higher Psychic and Electrical resistances but lower Radiation, Chemical and Thermal resistances.

    Oh and of course the Helmet. Best in Class goes to the new Spartan helmet. It's miles ahead of every other helmet in the game.

      I think making comparisons gets even more difficult once you factor in the upgrades. If you're just comparing stock to stock that's fine, but many of us want to compare fully upgraded suits with each other to figure out which is "best" since that's the suits full potential. That's really difficult because you have to choose what upgrades to put in and what to leave off... and to make it even more complicated, you should factor in carry weight, weight of suits, artifact slots, etc and not just the available stat bars. On top of that upgrades for suits are all different. A duty exo has a different upgrade tree than a freedom exo for instance. The freedom Nosorog is really good it's upgrade gives +12 stamina instead of +6 like the others in it's class (one example of an upgrade differing between suits). If you're looking on fully upgrading for combat, the military Nosorog is the best. It's stat bars are very good and beat the Freedom suit in most categories BUT it suffers from carry weight (-3.8 kg). Duty's Nosorog fully upgraded is really good too. I haven't tried the UNISG nosorog, but for now Freedom is the most balanced although it has less bullet, rupture, impact, (minus 4-5% than fully upgraded military). Keep in mind usefulness of the stat bars too. Even though some suits have like 15-20% less psychic or radiation protection than others, it doesn't really matter at that point since all of the suits provide enough protection already. Thermal protection is a weak point for Nosorog so having some is way better than having radiation protection (Freedom suit is really good here compared to others).

      @@codaman127 Having dynamic relations on gives you the possibility of a truce. If you kill Merc and Loners enemies you can help get it. It can even be easier if you cause wars with a common enemy between the two, with the disguise system. For example, get, repair, and upgrade a bandit or Merc suit and start killing mercs or bandits. Although, this is a slower process (than against CS) due the increasing relations of bandits and the blue boys since they both kill loners. And this also destroys a bit your reputation. When you get the truce, you can start doing missions. And if war starts again, I think they no longer specifically bshoot you in sight. Other option is avoiding wars and just play as a disguised Merc.

    i actually was quite surprised to find out the suits with protoexoskeletons, while being relatively cheap and lightweight, offer very good protection against pretty much anything in the game. Like, a eco suit with Spartan helmet has more protection against ALL anomalies, bullets and mutants than SSP eco suits, which cost more money. Equally, Duty proexo with same helmet has same bullet / mutant protection as a Nosorog, while performing much better in anomalies (and costing 100k instead of 165k)

    It has 3 artifact slots so you can buff it quite a bit, and its enviromental protections are nice.

You can carry an arsenal with you and on top of that it has 5 artifact slots, so you can hold a bunch of Empty and Goldfish artifacts making you a tank or carrying even more.

    Just a few points to add after having played this game for a few hundred hours :
    1) Best Heavy Armor in the game is Duty Exo Forest Battlesuit (it is better than normal Duty Exosuit or Duty Urban Battlesuit). It has best overall Environmental protection, best thermal protection out of all Exosuits (the most dangerous anomaly in the game), ballistic protection on par with Nosorog/Exoskeleton suits from any faction and 4 artifect slots once fully upgraded. Combine it with 2 Empties, 1 Snowflake, 1 Mamabeads or better anti bleeding artifect and you are a walking tank. That's my most fav suit in the game if you are not a Goblin who wants to pick every junk item and carry it. The only downside is, you can only carry 3 weapons with it bcs adding anymore will hamper you even with Tourist Backpack
    2) If you like to carry a lot of goodies and fight like crazy, Mercenary Exoskeleton is the best one with only downside being poor Thermal Protection (same issue with all Exoskeletons or Nosorg Suits). But it has every other base covered. It has 4 artifect slots as well when fully upgraded
    3) If you want an all purpose suit for gun fights, Artifect hunting as well as carrying tons of euipment and you cant get your hands on Mercenary Ace Seva suit since you picked a fight with their faction, your best bet is Duty Proto Exoskeleton (more expensive Proto Exo of the 2 Duty Proto Exos) coupled with a Spartan Helmet (make sure you go for Psy protection upgrade on Helmet). This combo is better than Ecologist Proto Exo and Spartan helmet since latter has such a poor balistic protection that even 3 Empty artifects cant save you.
    Word of Advice : Dont bother with Goldfish artifects since they reduce your rupture protection unless you even this out with an Empty. Instead, invest in Titanium Grids but be wary of electrical anomalies. Dont throw away every armour you find, find a multitool, maintain it and disassemble every junk armour. I have 7 armours fully repaired and upgraded because I scavanged everything from fallen enemies and can even create upgrade kits now.

  • @PaunCovek
    @PaunCovek 4 роки тому +5

    I have not tested this extensively, but I think the best suit might be the combination of a Duty proto exosuit and the spartan helmet. It surely has similar protection to the Nosorog suits, but the proto exosuit and helmet are lighter and also give you more carry weight...
    With some equipment I have 140kg of carry weight, the helmet is 5.5kg with upgrades and the proto-exosuit is around 36kg, with 107kg carryweight boost. It also has pretty good anomaly protection, save from electro anomalies, but those are really easily avoidable.

      I like the Ecologist Proto Exosuit the best. It has the most carry weight: 35 kg (before upgrades, upgrades will add weight) with 115 kg carry weight. It also can be upgraded to have 5 artifact slots, unlike the other exo's which max out at 4... Some max out at 3. I use Empty and Goldfish artifacts and you can carry up to ~200 kg or become a tank... There's so much carry capacity you might as well always carry 3 Empty's and 4 GoldFish artifacts with you and swap out and configure it as needed. I think it's the best suit for carrying and with so many artifact slots you can be bulletproof if you use the Empty's.

    I'm quite a fan of the Skat-9 (Military) proto-exo. Combined with a Spartan helmet, it gives you ballistic protection about on par with a Nosorog and average to above average protection from every anomaly while weighing only about 40 kilos. It's a fantastic general purpose setup. You could also swap out the helmet for a screen helmet if you really want to up your psy and rad protection. Only real downside is that it can only have a max of 3 attachment slots.

    A bonus to the mercenerary ACE suit(or SEVA in general) is that is has 5 slots to the exoskeleton's 4. That extra slot plus the tourist backpack almost lets you carry as much as an exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is nice mid-game if you steal one from the monolith, but it is just a worse nosorog. While the exo is obviously amazing, its just pointless after you find a nosorog of any faction.

    • @kresimirsokre6536
      @kresimirsokre6536 12 годин тому

      Yes, theres 12.5 kilos difference between best carry weight exo vs other, but if you get an armor which can get 3 + 2 attachment upgrades you can stack around 25kg + 47backpack, but exo can do 4 attachments so it is more a choice. I use exo but i also have nosorog and woodland armor + eco 99...
      Anyway, props to the team who fine tuned the game, it is interesting with the new gear.
      I played the Dead Air mod and it was misserable pain to get just an ordinary AK to be reliable, it was a great play with few mods but much harder than Anomaly, but i find Anomaly great with these exos and all.

    Vanilla 1.5.1.2. Mercenary exoskeleton is also good, military is somewhat better in ballistics, but not so much better that it would make a difference. And it could be useful for infiltrating Merc base. Ruby is overall better than Sapphire and as someone mentioned, default green SSP-99M is sweet spot between protection from weapons, mutants and anomalies. For medium armour, PS-6 warrior suit with GP-10z ranger mask which actually resembles 3D model of this outfit is great protection early on, especially from radiation, 100%. For medium but is is in heavy armour category I like CS-3B (for nostalgia reasons and because I like Clear Sky faction) with Sphere 08 or 12 helmet, but 3D model of outfit suggest that helmet is similar to Apocalypse or Spartan helmet, it depends how light I would like to be with set-up. Monolith exoskeleton have the best psychic protection.
    I like futuristic look (colours) of Ecologist exoskeleton, and Renegade looks interesting. But Merc exoskeleton with digital cammo or Military with woodland cammo looks the best.
    Anyway, dead Mercenaries and Monolith stalkers are the cheapest method to get exosuits or exoskeletons, including upgrade kits which they usually drop. You will spend around 25K (max goodwill, scavenger progression difficulty) for Exoskeleton repair kit, or almost free if you have parts to make repair kit.

    It's not terribly hard to generate 120k anyway, 1 round of easy task from that 2 dude in Cordon already nett you 20k. Sleep, then rinse and repeat.
    With several addons that give stamina regeneration, can pretty much sprint indefinitely even when over-encumbered. This solve the biggest complaint - stamina.
    It does hurt a lot the further north you go, enemy got stronger, anomalies got stronger. Currently around Zaton/Jupiter and can't handle those toxic anomalies, but then again I'm lacking in upgrades, haven't been able to find the right kits / components to upgrade guns & armor.

      I think best artifact attachments are: Goldfish (for carry weight. Gives +11.5 kg after subtracting it's own weight), Empty (For combat), Mama Beads (For Bleed - but not really important). You can use non-artifact upgraded attachments for the rest to boost carrying capacity while boosting stamina (since Empty takes a lot away). Full Empty artifacts are just too heavy to be worthwhile compared to Empty.

    I'm playing military and bought the skat 9, don't do it, for 20k more you get the military exo suit (the one with which you can sprint) which is better and don't know the hidden stat but has doubled durability compared to the skat... That damn suits needs constant repairs, the exosuit can take a big beat instead

      Aren't all the Skat-9s upgradable with healing though? I've used them for basically every faction and love them. Only really complaint is how you only get 1 artifact slot. The Freedom one is my favorite because it has such good anomaly protection on top of the great combat protection

      Bit late of a response, so don't scold me if you've fixed this, but is there any chance that you've given all the required tools or that you've used a vice?

      @@LeoZephra Yeah and i think it depends on the type of suit and if it even has the sprinting upgrade available :)

      in the settings you can bind a key to make you go into 3rd person, there are 2 options for 3rd person, i believe the second option is a freecam type thing. you'll also have to bind a key to bring yourself back to a first person pov
