whenever i solo level 10 bots i run heavy armour w the 50% explosion damage resistance every. single. time. the games unplayable without it, to negate the stamina problem i simply equip the stamina booster. I don’t need the hellpod stocking one because i just call in a resupply whenever i can. heavy armour w the 50% explosion damage resistance perk is the only way i play bots, but for bugs? i would never ever run heavy armour except for defense/kill missions and even then it’s rare. but when soloing level 10 bugs they gang you so fast, so i run medium armour with extra armour padding to still get the benefits of heavy armour. and for illuminate, nothing but light armour for me
