I feel like right now you can get a the best hat in the first house you go into which will last you the whole play-through, this isnt a problem with clothing since lots of jackets have a different amount of inventory space.
bad insulation - most common
etc
best insulation - most rare
helmets should be still rare and not fall into the bad/low insulation rarity
Thanks For 10 years and not giving up
i second this.
other high/best insulation clothes should be considered to be moved to higher tier zones and have a lowered spawnrate too.
^^ this would only really make sense if the higher tier areas were also much colder, which to be fair would not be a bad thing. You could set them more northerly, on snow covered mountaintops or deep underground which would add much more variety to the otherwise dull and tired official maps. Make the lower tier areas much warmer and high geared players would have problems to solve to go there too.
i always had the impression further inland and on hills its colder already anyway. u might be on "white" temperature in elektro with medium insulation clothing, but in tisy it goes to "lightblue" with the same weather conditions. its probably "feels" like the same conditions, but people have way better insulation clothes in general by the time they reached tisy than they had on the coast.
and even if this isnt the case, character progress is a big part in this game, so i find it very reasonable to have the "best" clothes deeper in the map.
Yeah it's defo the case with hills in Chernarus and anywhere north of Svergino is quite high up... never noticed any real difference on Livonia though? I would still like to see some snowy areas if only to make use of the white hunter gear, and let's face it, who wouldn't want more underground areas?
