Overview

In-game description

A heavy hazmat suit made from radiation resistant rubber.

You will look at this suit through your sights far more often than in your inventory. It is what the heavy scientists wear, the armoured NPCs who guard the Oil Rigs and fly in by Chinook once someone starts hacking the locked crate there. The row says as much in its own way: no workbench, nothing to research, no durability, and the same filler recipe as the plain scientist suit.

Killing one does not hand you the suit either. What you take off the body is guns and ammo, a minigun now and then. The game text calls it a heavy hazmat, but you cannot build one. For the radiation side, craft a hazmat suit. If you want to stand in a doorway like a heavy and take the first spray, the heavy plate jacket is the craftable piece closest to that idea.
