== Analysis == | == Analysis == | ||
− | Flak vests | + | Flak vests provide good protection at low cost and for a very small decrease in movement. The vest provides significant protection for the torso, neck, heart, lungs & kidneys (if one of them is already destroyed) and liver, all of which are immediately fatal if destroyed, and which constitute all the body parts that do so that are not exclusively covered by helmets. This comes at the cost of offering no protection to the extremities. For this reason, besides rarer deaths by low [[consciousness]] or [[blood loss]], a flak vest offers more survivability than [[recon armor]], or its variants the [[locust armor]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} and [[prestige recon armor]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}. However, the risk to the limbs is still greater. |
− | + | Flak vests occupy the middle layer, meaning that overgarments such as [[duster]] or [[flak jacket]] may be worn over the top, whereas power armor variants occupy both the middle and outer layers so they cannot be worn with the duster. The duster further improves the torso protection and provides some, but still less protection, to the extremities. | |
− | + | The combination of flak vest and dusters with protective materials such as [[devilstrand]] or [[thrumbofur]] allow the flak vest to compete in torso protection against the [[marine armor]] of similar [[Quality|qualities]] and their low price, smaller movement speed debuff, and low research cost make them attractive alternatives. However at all qualities the marine armor will outperform any combination of flak vest and duster in terms of limb protection. | |
