Damage Immunity
Say, what EXACTLY is the synth immune to?
I know that it is immune to fire, I tried using a flamethrower, it wouldnt catch o nfire or take damage.
What else is it invulnerable to?

christ is this like an interrogation or something

I also discovered that the synth is invulnerable to toxic waste.

The only other damage resistance I remember adding was bullet resistance as they usually take quite a few more rounds than other NPC's to kill

Also, the synth elite can survive a close rpg blast although they wont have much health left. note that they wont survive a direct hit with the rpg just a nearby blast

I see, im not sure damage reduction actually works, or doesnt seem to work. I use an addon that tells me how much damage i deal, and I always deal 5 damage no matter what. Doing the math, I can kill the synth elite in about 26 pistol shots.

Although the addon that I use could be completely wrong.

26 pistol shots seems about right to me assuming we're talking about 9mm which is a pretty bulky round

I see, I always think of 9mm being a weak round, I dont know real life guns a lot.

I mean it's no .50 bmg or 44. magnum but it's a thicker round than 5.56 and 7.62 rifle rounds. Granted 5.56 and 7.62 travel a lot faster but if your shooting a pistol right into the synths face from like 6 meters out then you'd get the same result as a rifle.

I looked in the lua files and I made the synths completely immune to acid, poison, radiation and open flames (fire). They are also bullet and explosive resistant but not immune to either type of damage.

Thanks, its best that you close this just incase someone has the same answer.
