Where do you find tac vests?

[DeceasedPath 21]

I've been running around Cherno with 5 other friends and none of us have found a vest in the last two days. I know it exists only because I killed someone with one (he charged me with an axe). I couldn't use it though because I only had time to take a center mass shot. Does it only spawn in certain areas?

I always find them in the military soldier buildings.

Military spawns such as barracks and atc towers.  I found four last night.  Try searching a military location like Balota as soon as the server restarts.  You're most likely going to find a vest.

I found one on Green Mountain yesterday. Ran north in search for food in the nearby town when someone popped up in the middle of the field in front of me. I was zooming in on the buildings with a gun on my back so he had the drop on me. Said hi and he shot me. Was it you?

I don't think so, I haven't been killing anyone who doesn't aim at or have a melee weapon within reach. Thanks for the help guys!
