Playing on Xbox 360. Just got into a fight with some thugs who were using weak guns on me. As I got shot, I was taking damage, but I was also seeing a yellow shield icon next to my health, indicating that some of the damage was being absorbed by my DT. What confuses me about this is that I have a net DT of zero: 2 from my Wasteland Wanderer Outfit, and -2 from Kamikaze trait.

Is this a glitch or am I missing something about the rules? And if it is a glitch, which part is glitching? Am I getting free DT, or just being told I'm absorbing damage I'm not really absorbing? I can't check on console or GECK or anything because I'm not on a PC.

Maybe the enemies are shooting negative bullets/melee strikes? Well ima go divide by zero to make sense of this.

Do you have the Stonewall perk? I think that one is bugged and just gives you +5 DT if you're holding a melee/unarmed weapon, rather than giving you +DT versus melee attacks made against you.

Nope. Playing a lowly Energy Weapons character, low level, no special perks for DT in any context, and no chems or other effects. DT shown as 0 in Pip Boy.
