I attack somebody of equal level and win. I immediately attack the same person again and lose?! I didn't lose my vaccine boost or contract bonus - nothing had changed. But they are suddenly 20% stronger than me in EVERY category? That can't possibly be correct. Also, how does THIS make any sense at all? 20 Gear Units * 1 State Police Uniform (Level 4 - 64/69) * 1 Knight Armor (Level 4 - 61/67) * 1 Roman Gladiator Armor (Level 4 - 60/68) * 17 Cross Country Ski Suits (Level 4 - 17/33) Weaker 20 Gear Units * 20 Cross Country Ski Suits (Level 4 - 17/33)
there is a random factor in all battles that shift wins/losses. i think its annoying and should only be factored in when its really close(within 2% or so)
So basically there is no point in wasting money on special UN items if regular items can beat them every time. Glad I found this out now.
^ These aren't UN bought are they? Just having a couple UN weapons wont help you. To make a real difference in your strength you need to have at least 20 of one lot. What I've found anyway.
Actually I have no issue with the random factor here. It happens only when your stats are very very close to your opponent. You're never going to have a complete wimp beat you, well not if you're a fighter lol. It adds a touch of realism to the game and it gives a bit of an edge to fighting those close are you going to win this one? Luck does have a factor in close real life fights, now I understand this is a Zombie game and real life might not be a big factor but I'm okay with that. As to the gear you posted gear will almost always be weaker. It's your attack stat vs their defense stat, since gear has very little attack and a great deal of defense it's normal to be weaker there, the same holds true for weapons, you'll very rarely be weaker in weapons when attacking.
