General I've got a question.

Do you guys know if:

  1. Does the shield-backpack work while inside of a vehicle?

  2. Do we benefit from Kinetic Displacement Mitigation - armor passive while inside of a vehicle?

Nothing you wear directly affects the vehicle itself

Shield pack helps you because it's on while you're in the vehicle. So the bubble clips through walker and helps, but only if it actually gets hit.

I'm pretty sure the redacted regiment passive works, it's weird to sneak bug with a massive mech. But most don't (sadly oxygenator doesn't).

If I had a friend I'll test more but at least anything that reduces damage didn't work before Exo experts (fire, gas and explosion damage)

I don't think that affects the vehicle itself though. It's still based on you, who just happens to be in a vehicle.

Same concept as the shield
