Description

Now that we have the thermoplugs we're ready for our next test of the prototype X-52 Personnel Armor!

Unfortunately, my lab assistants have either quit or expired. What a pity! But their loss is your gain, <name>... now YOU get to wear the X-52 Personnel Armor!

How exciting!

The next test will be conducted by my new mechanized lab assistant. Head over to the main workshop and press the big red button to begin.

Don't worry, I'll be giving you directions over the X-52's built in intercom!

To my surprise this quest was actually pretty easy when you only use the Extra Button Shield when the Mechanized Lab Assistent yells something, only two moments to watch out for.
1 - Thermal Stress Test in Progress
2 - Explosives Test Initiated
Make sure to push that extra button when you hear/see those warnings. If you just avoid the flamethrower and the bombs for the rest of the fight, you're good to go.
This way i managed it in one try as an arms warrior ilvl 370. (Tbh i first ignored the button most part of the fight and kept dying to Explosive Test Initiated 9 times)

This is ridiculous. I was able to do all other heritage armor quests right after dinging 120 in lvl 200+ gear without any issues. This one is practically impossible.

Way to ruin the fun. Heritage armor quests are supposed to be cosmetic and purely for fun.
