How to avoid electrical damage in Pacific Drive
Both you and your car will have a run-in with the electrical anomalies at some point, so it’s better to be prepared. Here’s how to avoid electrical damage in Pacific Drive through car and outfit upgrades.
When it comes to the car, you will need to upgrade it at the Fabricator and under the Car Body tab. Here, you will find three insulated body parts that you can install on your car. Other than an increased electrical resistance, these parts also have higher health than the steel parts.
| Upgrade Name | Pre-Requisite | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Insulated Panel | – Basic Workbench – Scan two electric Anomalies – Research Steel Sheet |
– Health 60 – Electrical Resist 25% – Blocks Charged Status |
| Insulated Door | – Basic Workbench – Scan a Spark Tower Anomaly – Research Steel Sheet |
– Health 60 – Electrical Resist 15% – Blocks Charged Status |
| Insulated Bumper | – Basic Workbench – Scan a Crackling Crawler Anomaly – Research Steel Sheet |
– Health 60 – Electrical Resist 35% – Blocks Charged Status |
It’s definitely good to have your car insulated against electrical damage, but you’ll also need to protect yourself. I’ve had many moments when I’ve been outside the car, and the Minuteman anomaly started spawning around me.
To get upgrades for yourself, you will first need to unlock the Outfitting Station on the Fabricator under the Garage tab. You’ll have to unlock the Matter Deconstructor first before you can branch up to the Station. To make the Outfitting Station, you’ll need:
- Scrap Metal x7
- Plastic x15
- Chemicals x2
- Gas Cylinder x2
Once you have everything ready, place this upgrade in the Garage and browse through the variety of outfit pieces you can craft. What you want to focus on is getting the ones that protect against electrical damage.
| Outfit Name | Crafting Material | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Grounded Sweater | – Rubber x20 – Fabric x10 – Copper Wire x5 – Plasma x10 |
Electrical Resist 15% |
