A single-use defensive device that releases a cloud of smoke if the wearer is hit by a projectile.

The smoke reduces hit chance by 70% for any projectile that paths through smoke. Shooters will still be affected by smoke even when neither them nor the targets are standing in it. It does not affect melee.

Stats

On explosion, the smokepop belt covers an area with smoke. The radius depends on the quality of the belt.

Quality Awful Shoddy Poor Normal Good Superior Excellent Masterwork Legendary
Explosion radius (tiles) 3.0 3.3 3.6 4.0 4.2 4.5 4.7 4.9 5.0

Note that a larger explosion radius does not necessarily be better, as smoke affects both sides of the battle.

Usage

It's best used by your workers. The smoke makes it much harder for ranged enemies to hit, allowing your vulnerable colonists to run. One smoke screen can provide cover for multiple colonists.

It works OK with melee colonists, with the smoke giving melee colonists the chance to move in, though you will want to equip the shield belt instead, which isn't one-use and gives more solid protection.

Ranged colonists pair terribly with this as smoke reduces their accuracy as well. It should not be used when other gunners are nearby.
