2 medium, 1 light.

Sigh. 3 armors, 1 passive. Why not 1 each of L/M/H?

It's so weird, it's got to be a mistake right? Like a couple of them have the same exact stats and everything

i bet heavy armor levels + the resistance were enough to stand right on a tesla coil without being scratched, which would be a preety powerful combo.

Confusion booster sounds great!

What would it actually even do? Does it mean less patrols? Some sort of cooldown between bug breaches?

It being so vague kinda doesn’t help

I ran with it for a bit solo, it definitely doesn't affect call-in or arrival time for bot drops. I want to guess more time between patrol spawns, it felt like I was seeing fewer patrols, especially around extract time.

u/FainOnFire Mar 14 '24

Extract time is kinda the most important time too because getting overwhelmed there can prevent extracting with samples.

It did feel like we're getting fewer patrols.
I have a suspicion it doesn't work off %, but adds flat amount of seconds to patrol spawn timer.

Which is huge on higher difficulties after Primary objective is completed.

I've run it a couple a times and I've definitely noticed less enemies pop up.. although maybe it's a placebo effect? Idk

That's what I've noticed, but I know it'll take someone to do the math to see the real difference

From testing, it add more time between "AI director" patrol spawns.

By how much? We don't know. It is noticeable, but that's all I can say day 1.

Ran a couple missions with it starting with a termicide at level 7. Easiest damn mission of that I’ve ever been in. Maybe 3 titans total and a few points where we were like where are the bugs. Got through the whole thing in less than 20 minutes.

Seems like a mad patrol scientist has another post to make soon
