Hey quik question Is it true that all you need to wear is boots, gloves, chest, and helm to get full protection?
I have tried this out and it seems to work exept when the enemies do a special attack of some sort.
Will anyone else try this and confirm what I have found out?

There is a great "customer guide" in the armorsmiths forum that explains some concepts about how armor works now. However, there are some important questions that need to be answered.
1. Hindrance
The current take is that you get the highest of all hindrances listed on any pieces of armor you are wearing. If the bicep is 30% ROF and the chest is 35% ROF, your hindrance is 35% ROF.
2. Mixing
It seems unlikely that you could mix battle and recon pieces, even if certed for both. But some people want to mix pieces of the SAME class, like mabari and ubese. Should this work?
3. Completeness
I believe it was officially stated that you have to wear a complete suit to get the effect. Is this still true? Why?
Does that include gloves and boots which cover non-target areas? This is doubtfull, since it would be inconsistent for Dosh.
