Tactical Vest is an is an armor suit. All infobox examples on this article are crafted from Quality 50 components unless noted otherwise.

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 resistances, 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.

Crafting

Tactical Vest can be crafted with Blueprint: Tactical Vest.

Variants

Carrier vest

Type and quality of carrier vest used determines secondary bonuses of the armor suit.

Icon	Name	Effect(s)	Component
	Insulated Vest	Average Cold damage resistance/threshold	Insulated Vest (component)
	Galvanic Vest	+5 to armor penalty High Electricity damage resistance/threshold	Galvanic Vest (component)
	Biohazard Vest	Average Bio damage resistance/threshold	Biohazard Vest (component)
	Sturdy Vest	Increases health by 50% of the vest's quality	Sturdy Vest (component)
	Regenerative Vest	+5 to armor penalty Provides health regeneration when powered	Regenerative Vest (component)

Ballistic panel

No visual difference. Type and quality of ballistic panel used determines the Mechanical damage resistance/threshold and base armor penalty of the armor suit.

Icon	Name	Effect(s)	Component
	Reinforced Fabric	10% armor penalty Higher Mechanical damage resistance, lower threshold	Reinforced Fabric Ballistic Panel
	Laminated Fabric	10% armor penalty Lower Mechanical resistance, higher threshold	Laminated Fabric Ballistic Panel
	Super Steel Sheet	15% armor penalty Lowest Mechanical resistance, highest threshold Increases Mechanical damage resistance/threshold against knife attacks	Super Steel Sheet

Armor plate

No visual difference. Optional armor plate gives additional bonuses at the cost of heavier armor penalty.

Icon	Name	Effect(s)	Component
	Anti-rifle Vest	+50 to armor penalty Highest increase in Mechanical damage threshold	Ceramic Plate
	Burrower Vest	+35 to armor penalty Increase in Mechanical damage threshold Low Heat damage resistance/threshold	Burrower Carapace
	Psionic Vest	+20 to armor penalty Lowest increase Mechanical damage threshold -10% psi ability psi cost Increases psionic skills	Psi Beetle Carapace
	Nanocomposite Vest	+15 to armor penalty Reduces damage taken from critical attacks	Nanocomposite Plate

Overcoat fabric

Optional overcoat fabric gives additional bonuses. Heavier fabrics also increase armor penalty.

Icon	Name	Effect(s)	Component
	Overcoat (Black)	Increases Stealth	Black Cloth
	Overcoat (Antithermic)	High Heat damage resistance/threshold Decreases Stealth Provides immunity to burning	Aluminized Cloth
	Overcoat (Kevlar)	+10 to armor penalty Further increases Mechanical damage threshold against bullets	Kevlar Cloth
