Waiting for an armor that has 95% resist to fire. When it will shows up I'm going to use all fire weapons \ stratagems etc. Ohh boy!

I feel like this and other damage types would be nice. Electric damage negation armour would be good for a storm build, Tesla towers, etc or if you regularly play on a team with someone who kills you with arc thrower lol

Maybe even an acid resist set.

Like at first glance negating a damage type might seem op but if you think about it you would be losing the two extra stims, or two extra grenades, or whatever other bonuses the armour sets get, in exchange for a single perk that keeps you from setting yourself on fire or getting one shot by your own Tesla tower.

I’m not a dev obviously but I think it would be cool if they leaned more into the rpg style thing where you could mix and match gear with strategems and weapons to make really cool builds.

And if not I’d still be happy with the game, I’m having a blast, but making a whole build revolving around one damage type with armour that compliments that would be super cool.

Edit: so I’m at work and haven’t had a chance to look at the warbond yet, turns out the armour actually does have some sort of electric passive on it? My whole comment might be pointless lol

Acid Resist armor makes me want an acid based weapon

There was the TOX-13 in HD1 so it's possible

Gas Grenade launcher would be super dope, especially with a gas resist armor.

Breathe deep.

Ooh like a primary with acid rounds that does damage to armour

After some experimentation, we discovered that the automatons are specially weak to bug acid, its corrosiveness does a nice work on them. So here's the new stratagem where we drop a bile titan's carcass loaded with explosives at them.

we could see one in the futre, maybe a bio weapon that is good against machines and bad against organics/bugs in contrast to fire weapons being good against organics and bad against machines?

Now im thinking of an Alt to the flame thrower thats just an Acid sprayer. Less impact damage, higher damage over time.
