TankyWanky 18 Posted December 22, 2013 Is there any big difference betwen them?By the looks of it tactical vest provides more balistic protection,while uk is by the looks provides more capacity capabilyties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etherimp 1323 Posted December 22, 2013 Tactical and UK both carry the same amount of gear. I do not know whether one has more protection than the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TankyWanky 18 Posted December 22, 2013 Thats just don't fit common sense.They shouldn't even be the same,not by capacity capabilities nor by ballistic protection.We need DB.Now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diggydug (DayZ) 331 Posted December 22, 2013 I've just assumed as you did, that the tactical vest was more protective, while the UK vest provided more carrying capacity. That appears to be wrong. Just stylish then, I suppose. At this stage, I'm okay with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sess130 50 Posted December 22, 2013 They might change in the future. Right now they have the same capacity, so they probably have the same defense too. However, I read a post earlier where someone listed all of the in-game items from the game files and ballistic vest was in that list in addition to the 2 current vest types. I'm assuming that they have yet to be implemented, but probably will at a later date. Would be nice if ballistic vests had less capacity but more defense, and assault vests the opposite. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SalamanderAnder (DayZ) 1747 Posted December 22, 2013 It would be cool if you could find a ceramic or metal plate and insert that into a tactical vest, occupying two slots but providing ballistic protection. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frostbyte_ 44 Posted December 22, 2013 Well, i found press version of ballistic vest in the last build(shame i didn´t screenshot it :/ ), so that atleast was in, and indeed had less carry space than uk vest. Tactical and uk vests seem to have same space and same description, so i assume they´ve got same functionality too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TankyWanky 18 Posted December 22, 2013 I prefer wearing tactical because for now i see that it delivers protection of more critical parts in the body(it covers all the upper body parts)While Uk has deep U form cut in it.As for firefights i can confirm no wounds were taken from 4 (2 of them in the back) hits it the chest from M4 at 30-50 meters range.
