Just wondering what effect low stats, particularly Dex has on skills.

After returning I noticed a couple of my gang (who may or may not have partying too hard on various illicit substances while I was away) have reached Dex of 1.

Just wondering if they are worth sticking with, or whether they need to retire to the big party house in the sky

Hi,

It's to do with your characters aging - the stats start to drop once they get pass 30. Once your str reaches 0, then it's buryin' time.

I think the question is more about what low Dex will do. It's not too bad actually, it just means shooting accuracy is reduced a little. Dex is probably the least important of the stats.

Dex is kind of a big deal in that a high dex character will very noticeably outshoot a low dex char, but if they're already highly skilled I wouldn't be scrapping them just yet. Now, whether they live long enough to be replaced, well, that's up to RNGesus.

The only issues ive had with low Dex guys have been:

1- at starting levels of skill they cant seem to hit the broad side of a barn even at close range. Ive literally had a gunner sit in a parked car shooting at the side of another parked car 15m away and miss 3 out of 4 shots.

2- Worst: Ive had low Dex guys drop a grenade on their foot more than once. They do not make good Ped Combateers if you plan to use thrown weapons.

Other than those 2 isues they don't seem any different from any other ganger (to me)
