Armor tiers
Vests, helmets and suits come in six tiers. The higher the tier, the less of a bullet's damage reaches you. Skins and donator versions of an item always have the same stats as the base item.
How to read the tables
- Damage taken: the share of a bullet's damage that still gets through.
- Blocks: the share the armor absorbs.
- Durability: how much damage the item itself can take before it is ruined. Repair it at the repair bench.
- Hits: roughly how many hits on that piece kill a player with full health. For vests and suits that is body hits (100 health); for helmets head hits. Bleeding and shock are left out.
Example: a 5.56 round does 125 damage. Without armor, one body hit is enough. With a Tier 3 Ballistic Vest, only 16% (20 damage) gets through, so it takes about 5 hits. With a Tier 6 suit, only 5% (about 6 damage) gets through: about 16 hits.
Heavy snipers are another story: a .408 does 900 damage and a .50 BMG 1,200. Even through a Tier 6 suit that is 45 and 60 damage per hit, so 3 and 2 hits. From Tier 4 up the tables also show the .408 and .50 BMG hits.
Heads are fragile. The head only has 33 health and dies at 10%, so about 30 damage that gets through a helmet is enough. That is why even the best helmet, the Tier 5 Maska, does not stop a .408 or .50 BMG: one hit kills. And a hit to the brain (the centre of the head) kills through any helmet.
Armor only protects the body part it covers: a helmet does nothing for a hit to the chest. Wear both.
