The pros and cons of the exoskeleton
Through the use of unique shielding materials, hydraulic and electric actuators, the exoskeleton in "Shadow of Chernobyl" got the walking tank. According to the description, the exoskeleton in the game "Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl" has the following properties:
- protection against burns: 50%;
- Protection against electric shock: 50%;
- Shock protection: 90%;
- Protection from explosions: 80%;
- Radiation protection: 30%;
- Protection against chemical burns: 50%;
- Protection from explosions: 80%;
- Protection from bullets: 60%;
Weight: 15 kg.
The main purpose of the exoskeleton is protection from bullets, splinters, bumps and breaks. These properties are good for reflection of attacks of the "Monolith" to "Barrier" or bandits on the camp of stalkers, hunting for Snork or bloodsuckers. Fully modified exoskeleton in the game can withstand a single hit from an RPG and shot five shots from a shotgun. It is not suitable to search for artifacts, gaining territory with a large number of anomalies and high radiation background.
The main problem of the exoskeleton, it's his lack of agility. In this armor you can't run, which is a headache of a player in anomalous zones. When injected into the anomaly of "Funnel" or "Springboard" can restart your game from the last save point because out will not work. When hit by a sudden cross-fire in an open space, in search of shelter will have to use a large number of bandages and first aid kits. The exoskeleton is impossible to accelerate to jump over a cleft or a failure in the floor of the building.
Feature from the description in the game: "Provides excellent protection against bullet and shrapnel hits, but does not guarantee resistance to anomalies."
The suit allows you to move the 90 kg of useful things, including spare weapons and ammo. Even with such an attractive carrying capacity, it is inappropriate to apply the exoskeleton in the real work of the Stalker. If you really want to come out of the shadows, to get more ammo, and war of the soul, the exoskeleton — the best game world of "Stalker". As said Boris Strugatsky: Stalker is one of the few ABS of invented words become commonly used. It occurs from the English to the stalk, which means "to creep", "to go on the prowl".
The main fun in the game is to perform the most difficult quests, applying the optimally balanced set of "armor-weapons-artifacts". Walk around the area not armored piece of iron with machine guns, and an invisible Stalker with the "Addict", a bottle of Cossacks and the supply of sausage.
