'''Tactical Vest''' is an is an [[Armor|armor suit]]. {{Infobox quality note|50}}

== Description == 
Armor suit that can range anywhere from low to high armor penalty depending on the components used. It consists of a vest and a ballistic panel and can also use various optional overcoat fabrics. All tactical vests have 200% increased {{mechanical}} damage threshold against firearms. An optional armor plate can be added to increase damage thresholds, weight and armor penalty.

Tactical vest is similar to [[Riot Gear]], the main difference being an armor plate instead of a hand-held riot shield. Tactical vests also have lower base armor penalty, provide more protection against bullets but less against melee attacks. Compared to [[Leather Armor]], it can provide additional benefits even at the same armor penalty and allow a mix of stealth, mobility, damage avoidance and absorption, thanks to its versatile components.
