Maraudeurs – Guide d’armure et de santé pour les débutants

This guide is like a helper book about health, pain, armure, endurance, fatigue, and stuff you can use to feel better in a game. Il’s like a map to help you understand how the game works and make good choices.

To find what you need, use the Table of Contents. Il’s like a menu for the book. je’m going to use some short names for things, like Pirate Bandage is PB, Small First Aid is SFA, Pirate First Aid is PFA, and Large First Aid is LFA. Il’s like a secret code to make things easier to understand.

Santé

Maximum health is 100.

Formule de dégâts: ((Shot Damage – Armure) x # of Projectiles) x Limb Multiplier = Damage Dealt

• Torso/Arms = 1x
• Legs = 0.5x
• Head = 3.25x

Whenever you receive damage, your health is decreased. This can be increased by consuming food or meds.

• Chocolat – 6
• Craquelin – 6
• Eau – 6
• Biscuit – 7.5
• Food Can – 7.5
• Large Water – 10
• Ration – 12
• Bandage – 12
• PB – 14
• SFA – 36
• PFA – 39
• LFA – 96

Douleur

When something hurts you, like getting hit or hurt in a game, some of that hurt turns into a feeling we call « pain. »

Pain formula: Hurt you Feel x 0.1175 = Pain you get

You see this as the white part on your health bar. If you take some medicine, it can make the pain go away.

• Chocolate Spice – 5
• Aspirin – 15
• Spice – 25
• Meth – 50
• Morphine – 75

Saignement

When you get hit by bullets, là’s a chance you might start to bleed. The chance to bleed can be different depending on the kind of gun or bullets used.

If you start bleeding, toi’je vais perdre 3 health points every second for a whole minute (que’s 60 secondes). Mais ne’ne t'inquiète pas, bleeding will stop when you have just 10% of your health left.

To stop the bleeding, you can use a bandage, an SFA, or an LFA. Eating or taking medicine won’t help with this kind of bleeding.

Casques & Armure

Players and AI have 4 hitboxes:

• Tête
• Torse
• Bras
• Jambes

Helmets are like a shield for your whole head, even your face.

Armure, d'autre part, covers your chest and arms, keeping them safe.

Your legs don’t get any help from armor, but they naturally take only half the damage they’re hit with.

Look at helmets and armor, and you might see up to two numbers in the top left of their picture.

The first number is called Armour Protection, and the second number is called Blast Protection.

Every helmet and piece of armor has Armour Protection, but only a few of them have Blast Protection.

Armour Protection reduces incoming damage by 1 par point.

• Damage Formula: ((Shot Damage – Armure) * # of Projectiles) * Limb Multiplier = Damage Dealt

Blast Protection reduces explosion damage by 10 par point (except explosive barrels), and bombardments while in disabled ships by 1 par point (may need correction).

Critical hits on ships currently do not register.

• Blast Damage Formula: (Dommages explosifs – (10 * Blast Protection) * Limb Multiplier = Damage Dealt
• Bombardment Damage Formula: Dommage – Blast Protection = Damage Dealt

Durabilité

• For the main gun, its durability goes down by 1 pour chaque 3 bullets fired.
• With sidearms, like the M712 Special, their durability decreases by 1 pour chaque 2 bullets used.
• When it comes to armor, its durability drops by 1 for every bullet or pellet that hits it.

Endurance

Maximum stamina is 100.

Your stamina gets used up when you sprint, saut, or aim down sights (Annonces). Heureusement, stamina slowly comes back on its own.

Ici’est une astuce soignée: you can use items like chocolate spice, spice, and meth to stop your stamina from going down for a while. This means you can have endless stamina for a certain amount of time, mais souviens-toi, your stamina won’t start coming back until that time is up.

• Chocolate Spice – 25s
• Meth – 50s
• Spice – 125s

Fatigue

Whenever you consume stamina, a percentage of that is converted into fatigue. This is shown as the white portion on your stamina bar. You can heal fatigue with food.

• Craquelin – 4
• Biscuit – 5
• Nourriture en boîte – 10
• Chocolat – 15
• Eau – 20
• Large Water – 40
• Ration – 50

Obtaining Meds

You can get medicines in a few different ways. You can buy them from a Trader, and this includes things like food, bandages, Aspirin, and SFAs. Another way is by crafting them, such as PBs and PFAs. Et enfin, you can find them when you go on raids. These might be in medical bags, medical crates, or even in Vending Machines.

If you want to buy bandages, the best place to do that is from a Trader. But for SFAs, toi’ll need to have a good reputation with most Traders, except the Pirates. As for Aspirin, you can get it when your Kingdom Alliance reaches level 6, and for Pirates, il’s when you reach level 6 aussi, but you need to complete Zero to Hero contracts and be at rank 12.

Maintenant, when it comes to getting first aid supplies and drugs, the best way is by salvaging. Après cela, you can find them in medical bags, use Vending Machines (they cost 1 copper coin for an SFA), or collect them from med crates. You can also find disinfectant in common containers like garbage bags, cardboard boxes, and filing cabinets, and you can use it for crafting.

I recommend using your disinfectant to make PFAs rather than PBs. The reason is that regular bandages are usually enough and can be bought from any Trader. SFAs, d'autre part, are harder to come by until your Traders are level 10. Donc, il’s better to focus on PFAs. They provide a bigger boost compared to regular bandages. Having a higher healing rate is more important than the total healing you get per use.

When you craft, toi’ll get 3x PBs or 3x PFAs each time you do it.

Other Useful Tips

• The default key to quickly use items is by clicking the middle mouse button.
• If you want to stop healing, just press the Fire button once.
• When you crouch, your stamina recovers a lot faster.
• Si tu’re trying to save money, il’s a good idea to use food instead of medicine to heal when you’re fighting AI enemies or when you’re safe and have some spare time. Once you have more money, you can use bandages more freely.
• For your medical supplies, Je recommande d'avoir:
  • 4 à 6 stacks of bandages
  • 2 à 4 aspirin
  • 4 or more waters or chocolates
  • 1 à 2 stacks of SFAs
  • 1 LFA
• You should consider this as your minimum supply, mais si tu’re heavily focused on PVP or often engage in intense ship combat, aim for the higher end of these quantities.
• D'abord, it might seem a bit costly, but these supplies can be a lifesaver and help you win fights, lequel, à son tour, allows you to keep your valuable loot and build up a larger stash. Donc, think of it as an investment in your survival, almost like having insurance.
• LFAs are particularly valuable because they can heal a total of 96 HP, and their high healing rate is crucial for quickly recovering from intense firefights.
• To make the most of your inventory space, fill any remaining room in your bag with food. Il’s a cost-effective option that provides extra resources without using up your more valuable meds. Souviens-toi, you can always drop food to make space for better loot you might find.
• Stay vigilant and keep your fatigue level topped up as you go, surtout si tu’re anticipating player-versus-player encounters. Aussi, make sure to address any pain before heading into a fight, as some guns can deal 97.5 damage with headshots, even to level 12 casque.
• Organize your meds in your rig pockets, placing the LFA in the center. This positioning ensures that when you press the tab key, your cursor will appear in the center, allowing you to quickly tab and then immediately use the LFA with the middle mouse button.
• Remember that different meds have varying healing rates, with food healing the least per second, followed by bandages, SFAs, and LFAs. Reserve your bandages and first aids for PVP situations when fast healing is essential.
• Before entering a raid, porter 1 à 3 copper coins with you to guarantee the ability to buy 1 à 3 SFAs from Vending Machines. You can often find more copper coins in-raid by searching common containers or valuables pouches. You can also scrap copper horns for 4 à 8 copper coins.
• When considering your gear, prioritize helmets over armor. Each level of a helmet reduces damage by 3.25 due to the headshot multiplier. Parfois, il’s more beneficial to use armor with more pockets, as it provides extra space for meds and loot with minimal compromise on protection. Par exemple, a Plate Rig with 9 armor offers 12 machines à sous, while a Sherman Plate with 11 armor only provides 6 machines à sous. Having more meds and room for loot can significantly boost your stash.
• To estimate how many bullets your gun can shoot before breaking, multiply its durability by 3. Idéalement, bring just enough ammo to match your gun’la durabilité, ensuring efficient use of your weapon. Rifles are an exception due to their high durability, dommage, and the rarity of their ammo.
