Tactical Vest is an armor suit with low to medium armor penalty. It consists of a vest and a ballistic panel. Tactical vests can also use various 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, thanks to its versatile components.
