Tire Shoulder Armor - Right is a homemade pauldron of tire rubber strapped over the right shoulder. It guards the upper torso against bites and scratches. It is part of the crafted tire armour set.
Its main strength is solid shoulder cover from tire scrap. Its main cost is weight, at 3, a slower attack, and the fact that it cannot be worn with a backpack. It is crafted with Tailoring and Maintenance skills, and late-game survivor safehouses hold one rarely. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
Tire Shoulder Armor - Right stops about half of all bites and scratches on the upper torso. It is worn for protection rather than warmth.
It slows attacks by 8 percent, more than the left-hand piece. It is uncomfortable to wear.
The Wooden and Bone Shoulder Armor give the same protection at a third of the weight. Metal and Scrap Metal Shoulder Armor protect better, stopping more bites and most scratches. The right-hand tire piece also wears out fast, losing condition on about every second hit. The left-hand tire piece loses it on only about one hit in five.
It takes the Right Shoulder Pad slot. That blocks backpacks and other bags on the back, webbing, bulletproof vests, shoulder holsters, sport shoulder pads, breathing masks and full suits.
Tailoring
Tire Shoulder Armor - Right is immune to holes.
The "Research Craft" inventory option on it teaches the whole tire set: Make Tire Forearm Armor, Make Tire Shin Armor, Make Tire Shoulder Armor - Left, Make Tire Shoulder Armor - Right and Make Tire Thigh Armor.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Tire Shoulder Armor - Right and teaches the recipes below.
