📋 About This Mod

The people on a forum were complaining where is their armor. I was thinking why actually wearing a bulletproof vest gives nothing in the game. The game says that the clothes are made of kevlar. But bulletproof vests aren't just that. Even more to that, why finding such a vest in the loot goes on by like just some another jacket to wear for a visual look. Not fun to play.

The changes that I made, there are 4 new types of amor stats for different vest:

  • []Full body breasplate - armor value x4, movement speed -0. 50

    []Full body vest - armor value x3 movement speed -0. 40

    []Medium vest -  armor value x2. 5, movement speed -0. 30

    []Tactical vest - armor value x2, movement speed -0. 20

    You can compensate that speed loss with boots. Makes sense why you need them.

    Added features:

    -Increased Reload Time Reduction on tactical vest

    -Increased Melee Damage Reduction on helmets in the new version.
