Has anyone else noticed their armor falling to pieces in Lonesome Road at higher difficulty levels? Playing on V. Hard difficulty, the Marked Men are literally chewing my armor to pieces in a single encounter--it's not uncommon for me to start a fight with armor in perfect condition, and end it down 50-80% in durability depending on how much I get hit.
I never had this problem in standard New Vegas or any of the other add-ons, and I've observed it in both Medium and Light armor. Anyone else have any experience with this?

I did have to swap the Elite Riot Helmet with the Advanced at one point due to damage. Some maniac at Obsidian classed them as heavy armor instead of light, so I couldn't repair the friggin thing, even with the Jury Rigging perk. I'm thinking of making a mod to fix that. --Rooker75 19:08, September 23, 2011 (UTC)
So far in LR, I've only had armour significantly weakened once, and that was when I was getting ravaged by Tunnellers in the Ashton lift. It was the Advanced Riot Gear, which I only really used there, it was the first time I have ever had an armour down to 0% condition. If you use Unarmed or Melee weapons then your probably gonna get that a lot, but I don't. Have you been using ranged weapons, till you got to LR, and decided to go into melee? 'Cause that might be the problem. --Tag! 15:46, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
