Body Armour Stats

[LovelyPencils]

Hi folks,

I have always been very curious with the HP & shock percentage on the armour stats, if you guys could explain to me, that would be great.

HP - 6% : does it mean that i have 6% chance to get penetrated by hollow points?

Shock 20% : 20% less energy reduction from taking hits or 20% to be in a state of shock when i'm shot?

what do these figure means?

cheers,

hp 6 should mean a 6% less probability to be penetrated (by non AP ammo) while 20 shock should be u take 20% less shock when hit. thats the interpretation i take for good, but i could be wrong

It's all pretty vague to me. For concealable vests I use that heavy yellow one.

I don't use external vests, because they're outrageously heavy and make you look like a big wuss. Usually, the more expensive something is, the better. :P

I'd say, that the percentages indicate the amount of damage that gets through, and shock shows how much of that is soaked by the west.
