Heavy Scientist Suit
A heavy hazmat suit made from radiation resistant rubber.
Wearing the Heavy Scientist Suit in Rust protects your whole body, from head to feet. Hits on the parts it covers take 30% less bullet, arrow, slash and stab damage and 90% less blunt 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 Heavy Scientist Suit
Against blasts, which hit no single body part, its 100% explosion protection counts as 17%. Since an outfit's radiation protection stops at 50, nothing else you wear adds to it.
Heavy Scientist Suit protection and stats
Against animal bites it gives 90% 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.
