Talk:Hazmat suit (Old World Blues)

Nightvision
That Nightvision is really annoying. Is there anyway to disable it, even through glitches?

Hazmat suit invincible to the Cloud?
I seriously doubt it but wouldn't it make sense? This IS the suit that the Ghost People wear for crying out loud. It was MADE AND USED to go through the Cloud. I'd say logical, but probably not.


 * Ghost people were mutated by the Cloud, so they were "affected" by the Cloud when they were humans even with the hazmat suit. In fact, their mutation come from permanent exposition to the Cloud by their hazmat suit, a green gas escape and re-absorb continuously from the hazmat suit by means of aeration on their legs. So no, I don't think the hazmat suit give invincibility to the Cloud. Itachou [~talk~] 23:03, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, I think I've got an interesting theory about this; basically, you know those Y-17 Harnesses that keep the wearer mobile after death? Well, maybe the Hazmat suit incorporates this, which would make sense in a poisonous environment where the wearer could be hit with some kind of sleeping or nerve gas. So, the Ghost People ain't mutated... they're dead, which explains why they keep getting up unless they've lost a limb. I still need to figure out why they bleed green shit, though. --Captain tweed 20:59, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

But Y-17 Trauma Harnesses dont need to be dismembered.Frantruck 23:35, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

Might be something to do with the Cloud. Or, maybe it was just because the Y-17 Harnesses at Big MT were prototypes? Seems fairly likely, as that's where they were developed, and if they weren't prototypes, then why were they there? --Captain tweed 12:41, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Helmet Question
I understand the Helmet and suit are separate items, but can you wear the Helmet in a similar fashion to the Chinese Stealth Suit, or Re-breather. For Example can you wear the Hazmat Helmet,with a Combat Helmet? --Smish34 (talk) 21:26, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Gloves?
Why did they have to decide not to include the gloves to a damn hazmat suit? I was looking forward to this piece of armor but seriously? Not only that but constant night-vision and no hood? I hate to say it but all those little things have kinda ruined it for me. :/

I, too, was irritated by this. Night Vision would have been a really useful feature if you could turn it off. And no gloves on a Hazmat suit? What were they thinking?

I like the nightvision, I just hate the lack of gloves, hood, and that there are holes all over the suit where the skin is showing. It's still really cool, though, just it sucks that it's not everything it could have been.--FAR-02C 03:11, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Where does skin show on the suit? All I can see is more and more of whatever the hell its made from and filtered vents on the arms and legs. EDIT: The gloves dont count of course Nashorn1127 12:08, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

The lack of hood and gloves and the fact that the night vision is permanent completely ruined what I wanted the most from the add-on. And you can't wear any helmet with it, seriously? I hope they patch this, or at least there will sure be a mod for the PC (sucks to me, i have the 360) Fucking ruined, man, fucking ruined 18:31, July 21, 2011 (UTC)Enrikiller

I seem to recall the suit coming with gloves, though my game may just be glitched or something. I'm also disappointed by the inability to turn off the Night Vision. Here we have the only gas-mask in a NUCLEAR WASTELAND, and I can't wear it because it blinds me. I'd also want a hooded version, though not to replace the original. --Captain tweed 20:55, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, this suit is bumming me out. While it is cool, the lack of hood and gloves, the patches of skin seen around the neck where the helmet meets the suit, and the ever present yet somewhat ineffective nightvision are very disappointing. Oh well. Kelevra1 06:40, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Night vision bug?
in 3rd person, your Pip Boy isn't lit up if you have the flashlight turned on while wearing the Darklight Cowl.

Is the Darklight cowl immune to damage?
I've been getting into some heavy firefights with the Fiends and it hasn't taken a single hit to its item condition. Can anyone else confirm or deny whether it shares the same invulnerability as a 1st Recon Beret or Chinese Commando hat?Kara MacNamara 13:41, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Denied. I've had to repair it quite frequently. --Captain tweed 12:37, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Reparing this item
I checked the repair on this and found so far only the Radiation Suit and Advanced Radiation Suit will repair this Hazmat Suit. FYI the listed suits (lobo jumpsuit and gown) will not repair this item.

updated the listed items to repair the cowl do not work either.

Also updated the page with this info.

The Lobotomite suit repairs the HazMat on my game. Was there a recent patch that changed this? --Captain tweed 14:42, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

Do you have the Jury Rigging perk? Because that might explain it. TheWarmaster 08:19, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

the nightvision.
i guess now we know how the ghost people feel.
