Mandalorian Gear, A Basic Guide

Mandalorian Gear, a basic guide

Mandalorian gear comes in quite a few variations, and it can vary based on things like era, clan, status and taste of the wearer. There are, however, some basics that can be helpful to understand how it all fits together. Let’s start with the soft parts, part 1:

Flightsuit

A normally one piece suit that goes over underwear and stuff like thermals, and the like. We do see characters in partial ones, like Sabine Wren, however considering she was a teenager on the run & that she later acquired one would perhaps indicate that it was not a choice but rather out of necessity.

There are several variations of flightsuits, but the basic types we see are the classic Boba Fett based type with extra sleeves & a type that is more like the stormtrooper/clone trooper undersuits/blacks and equally tightly fitted.

Bo-Katan for example wears the first type in live action, but the second type in animation. (Also of note is that the blacks type has so far only been worn by female characters. Gee, I wonder why.)

Materials

Fabrics, like a cotton twill or denim for the Boba Fett style suit. Softshell, strechy fabrics & thicker athletic wear like for the blacks type suit.

Here’s concept art of Sabine Wren in the two main types, blacks type to the left and in the middle with a flak vest. Boba Fett style to the right with a flak vest:

Boba Fett (OT):

Flak Vest

Flak vests come in a myriad of variations. Normally made out of a tough material that you use to attach you chest, back & neck pieces too. Sometimes the shoulder pieces as well, depending on the type. In The Mandalorian most mandos seem to favor variations of the sleeveless vest type.

Materials

Heavy duty fabrics, quilted fabrics, canvas, leather, rubberised cloth, etc.

Boba Fett in his OT flak vest (sandy color vest type with flaps to attach shoulder armor to) & Boba Fett in his new flak vest (black with pleated shoulders that stick out over his armor, shoulder armor attached to sleeves that on close inspection appears to be pleated as well and attached to the flak vest, so far this style is unique to him):

Jango Fett, wearing a leather or rubbery looking flak vest with attached flaps for shoulder armor & a blue Fett style flightsuit:

(Interestingly during the empire era several female mandos switch to a style with no flak vest, notably Clan Wren, while Bo-Katan favors what looks like black leather like material in a t-shirt shape that might simply be a part of her flightsuit, but concept art implies it’s a separate piece. This might simply be because of the sleek look of Rebels animation)

Boots

Round or square toed. Work boots, manchester ankle boots, tall boots. Chunky soles, often covered with spats and/or armor.

Materials

Leather or leatherlike, spats material can vary.

Visual References

From left to right, from the top: Din Djarin (altered light brown manchester boots with brown spats), Boba Fett OT (manchester boots with spikes, worn greyish black), Fenn Rau (black with blue spats), Sabine Ren (tall black boots with slight chunky heel), Bo-Katan Kryze TCW (ankle high black combat boots, chunky sole), Ursa Wren (brown, grey spats)

Koska Reeves and Axe Woves, both are wearing dark brown ankle boots covered in spats made of a leather like material.

Gloves

Combat gloves, leather gloves, fingerless gloves. Usually with a handplate. At least long enough to hide edge under the bracers.

Part 2, armor. Coming…. whenever I have the time.

ED:tG Survivor Tips and Warnings

Since Evil Dead the Game has come to Steam, I've been seeing a lot of new players. And, I love new players but... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, we need to talk about a few things.

I am level 555 in game and here are some tips and tricks to keep your veteran teammates from wanting to fuckin' murder you!

Tip/Warning Number 1!: Do. NOT. shoot before the demon finds you! At the start of game, the demon has no idea where you are. While you are getting the map, do not shoot. The demon can hear literally every ranged weapon and will come find you. They will chase you down and gut you. If you shoot, your teammates are highly likely to run away from you because they want to get as far away from that spot as they can before the demon shows up. So you will most like be alone or left to die.

Tip/Warning 2: Unless you're on mic and have planned it with your teammates ahead of time, do not get in a fuckin' car during the map phase! Demons can see you driving the car and will hunt you down. It's a great way to call the demon to you and get your whole team murdered.

Tip 3: If you are playing Pablo, drink sodas around your teammates for fuck's sake! Pablo has just as much ability to heal the team as any other support (except Cheryl, she heals far more). Shielding is very good but you also need to heal. Especially if there's a Ruby on your team! Because Ruby cannot have shields and need to be healed more.

Tip 4: If you are fighting Eligos and you are a Hunter (the Ranged characters: ED2 Ash, Ed Getly, Amanda, Kelly), do not take a crossbow unless you're really good with it. I don't care what color it is. The aim on them is kinda wonky and the reload is slow. Berserkers are very wiggly, this makes them extremely hard to hit with a crossbow.

Tip 5: Take blunt weapons against Eligos! At the book, you want to be able to stun the possessed elites because they melt the book very quickly. Also, even Hunters need to get up to the book and melee the deadites there in the last 30 seconds to stun enemies as fast as possible so the book doesn't die.

Tip 6: If you have a healer/support (ED1 Ash, Cheryl, Pablo, David, Blacksmith) on your team, make sure to supply them with sodas and amulets so they can keep you in the fight!

Tip 7: If you're a support, don't take any legendary weapons unless the fighters don't want them. Yes, you do reduced damage but you taking the gold weapon is just going to get the team killed.

Tip 8: If you are a Warrior (AoD Ash, Henry, Scotty, Mia), don't fuckin' shoot unless you're de-possessing someone. You have severely reduced ranged weapon damage, meaning guns are useless on you and you'll just end up taking more damage then if you just meleed the deadite. Make sure colored guns go to the hunter or Annie (if you have one).

Tip 9: If you are playing support, do not open chests around Objectives or in places where the demon has been. If there are tiny Ashes inside, they have a high chance of taking your sodas and amulets. Just mark the chests so you teammates can open them for you.

Tip 10: If you're a support and you're fighting a high level Evil Ash, he has a perk that stops healing. If one of your teammates gets slashed with his sword, they will be unable to be healed for several seconds. So, if you drink during that time, you will be wasting a soda! Keep lots of amulets on you for boss fights so you can amulet and protect your teammates while they kill Evil Ash.

Final Tip/Warning: This tip is extremely important! When you are in the Dark One's phase, you need to stick by your Support. Do not run around the dark ones. Just by the support and kill the dark ones. You take a lot of damage during this phase and if you're not close to your team, your support will waste multiple sodas to heal the team that's spread out. This leaves them with no supplies for the book stage. So, stay in a teammate cluster when fighting dark ones. your healer will appreciate it!

Now. Go have fun and murder some fuckin' deadites!

Love you all, little wraithlings! ❤️
