If you don't use psycho (you are a sniper/rocket/party leader) then metal MK2 or BA is the best choice for you
BUT
Tesla is the best for the most pvp actions if you play as heavy fighter:

Toughness x2 = +10% Normal DR
Tesla = +20% Normal DR
Psycho x2 = +60% Normal DR

So you'll get max DR in the game - 90% Normal DR (against heavy fighters and normal snipers), 90% Laser DR (against laser snipers) and 80% Plasma DR (against plasma grenadiers).

Isn't max 95%?

90% and if u got shot from .223 it will be 70%, 5mm AP - 55%

anyways i will go back to topic: if u need protection from plasma use tesla armor, for lasers i advise u to use metal armorMK2 coz for some reason tesla armor  with 80%DR and 12 TH still leaks some dmg even without armor bypass,

 metal armor is perfect agains lasers, almost every hit without armor bypass will be for no damage.

Metal, you need normal damage resist.

Well taking Metal MKII for everyday farming seems kinda risky to me. I rather choose leather since its cheaper, gives at least some protection and its incredibly cool looking piece of armor.

I do love me some combat leather.

if you're a full combat build than yes, if you plan to craft and gather with a STR under 6 stay with the leather.

You can gather in leather armor or jacket or even in bluesuit.
But every armor under metal is almost useless, but explosions. Even simple leather jacket can save your life vs suicidal bomber at NCR, because it's 20% DR. For hunting and casual wear you can get metal mk2, it's only 2550 at NPC, it's only 319 needler cartriges ^_^

needler is pretty good damage and cheap to make, I like to use it for slaving since fast shot/one handed allows me to effectively bring things down to 0 without investing many skill points into combat.

nah, the needler ammo is = easy cash, that's why you noramlly see about 20000 shots at most vendors.

how many caps per ammo?...but is the needler better than the grease gun?
Title: Re: What armor is better
Post by: gordulan on May 09, 2010, 02:24:18 pm
it's 8 caps per unit, but the tier 2 SG and the 100x per crafting, coupled with the 5 Gunpowder (NOT Advanced GP) and 1 MP (NOT Good MP) makes this a lucrative investment, but the gun is ok...

heres linky: http://www.fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Needler_Pistol (http://www.fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Needler_Pistol)
Heres for greasy: http://www.fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/M3A1_%22Grease_Gun%22_SMG (http://www.fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/M3A1_%22Grease_Gun%22_SMG)

the main advantage of the grease gun is the burst function...

Hahahaha, not anymore.
Now needler cartirges, ATLAST, require HQ gunpowder to make.
Btw, I counted other bullets to make and sell, and I discovered, that it'll be better to sell metal parts and gunpowder to trader... don't craft anything, just sell mats.
So now crafting isn't for making caps.

goodie, my whole business venture is destroyed, but never fear, refining minerals and iron ore is what the game is all about now, kinda sucks that this don't work at buster's , still need to excange it for needler cartridges so I can trade up for 10mm and 5mm ammo...
Life's  bitch, but what am I gonna do about it, nothing, i'll just sit back in my comfy chair and whine about it being a bitch.
