Arctic Scientist Suit
A hazmat suit made from radiation resistant rubber.
Wearing the Arctic Scientist Suit in Rust protects your whole body, from head to feet. Hits on the parts it covers take 30% less bullet, arrow and melee damage. On its own it gives 50 radiation protection, the most the game allows. It also gives 50% cold protection. It cannot be crafted.
About the Arctic Scientist Suit
Against blasts, which hit no single body part, its 30% explosion protection counts as 5%. Since an outfit's radiation protection stops at 50, nothing else you wear adds to it.
Arctic Scientist Suit protection and stats
Against animal bites it gives 50% protection, and its full protection table covers every other damage type. None of the 26 protective full-body suits beats it for bullet protection and radiation protection.
Reduction is how much of that damage type never lands. Damage taken is the rest: at 50% reduction a hit for 100 does 50. A negative reduction means the hit lands harder than it would bare.
