Well the one problem is it's an armor attachment.


I would personnally spend 25K-50K for it because I know of an armor smith with armor I like.


If it were a clothing tape I'd pay 50K-85K

CM's are like nukes. You have them just incase you need them, but as soon as you start using yours the other guys start using theirs and everything goes to hell-PyschoticChipmunk -The First line of the Riflenomican.

Also keep in mind that one armor segment is not enough. Gloves take two and chest armor takes 4. I don't remember the numbers on the rest of the pieces - ask your local armorsmith.

Also, all the segments must have the same serial number, so if you need for for chest armor, they must all be identical.

Oh, and as for price...

Not much I'm afraid. For just the odd one here or one there I might go 5k.

Now a full set of 4 matching segments would be a different story...I might go 50k - 100k depending on what they were. For rifle speed, disease resistance or cover I would pay a lot, for crawl speed not much.

I've been collecting these things for months, and have yet to complete a full set of four of -any- type.

Also keep in mind that at conceal4 your conceal skill mod is +80, so a tape or segment of Conceal: +1 is adding just over 1% (as far as I know, I have yet to see a clear explantion of what exactly skill mod numbers -mean-).

to clarify.



It is an Armor attatchment. Much like a clothing attatchment, only you drop it into armor sockets.


(only recently implemented into the game)



as for the value, its +3 speed, you get what, +5 rifle speed at master marksman?


a couple of those in a ubese shirt would be pretty nice.

The point is that people probably won't wear armor. I'm not sure if I would start wearing armor just for this, but maybe I would. If it was clothing, I'd certainly love it.

Assuming it really works as you describe, and it's +3 rifle speed, I'd probably pay about 100K for it if it were cloth skill tape. For armor, I'm nost sure. Maybe 20K? I probably would not use it too often...

you'll find riflemen don't really use armor...the fact of us not having healable special damage means we need all you secondaries to be intact or our mind just gets blasted!!

of coruse that may change with the next updates

Hello. I'm not a rifleman, but I recently found a rifle speed 3 plate. I posted a thread on my server forum (Eclipse) about selling it, and basically got lambasted for asking too much. I was just curious to know what riflemen in general would think is a fair price for such an enhancement, and what your rationale is behind that price.


Thanks in advance for any guidance.
