I just assumed that with the perk maxxed out i could ultra light build my limb armor to reduce carry weight but my friend reckons i should be upgrading them for more damage resistance as if it applies to your whole body or something.

who's right ?

Thanks for reading !

Adamantium Skeleton only helps you avoid getting your limbs crippled, it won't help reduce damage taken to your health. Which the armor rating does help for.

There is no locational armor value, in spite of what the pipboy graphic says. Total armor value is added together and used in the damage resistance calculation.

Adamantium skeleton doesn't stop falling damage from breaking your legs so I don't think it's going to stop crippling from being overweight in the survival update.

Something needs to be done to make crippling more dangerous. I remember limping through the wastes with a concussion desperately seeking a bed because I ran out of stims in 3.


Now it just kinda happens and is easily fixed with a quick stim, which I have hundreds of.

More dangerous, like banjo music getting closer

Exactly
