Press vest

[DropBearChick 1217]

Press vest, is it in the game, of my 100 hours I've never found one if it is in game where do I find it?

[maliceubx 73]

Its in the game. I've never found one but two of my friends have.

[SmashT 10907]

People have found them so they must be, I haven't had much luck though.

Train stations (enterable ones) have a chance to spawn it, atleast that´s where i found mine.

[BL1P 252]

6 rather than 8 slots though :(

I would like me one of those pressvests.

 

It should be easy enough to acquire and shouldn't be rarer than all the military-grade clothing. That is what needs balancing in my oppinion.

Unlike military vests, it does offer ballistic protection, which imho sould be rare.

[drunkenteddybear 9]

you can find them in trainstations and in the shipwreck (blunt rocks).

 

i got 3 so far, lucky me :D

Be nice to see registered medics, such as this lot (http://tmwdayz.com/), get enhanced body armour after undergoing training :)

I came accross a player on the first day who had one, never seen one since. I've heard people say they spawn in trainstations and the shipwreck north of Berezino.

elektro, cherno... you just need to follow the rails :D

and yes, they only spawn in these two places.

 

it's nice to have a feeling of safety, but the vest is REALLY blue. so it's all about contrast with your jacket.

I have seen 2 press vests in the cargo ship up by berezino. Ya'll saying they just spawn at elektro and cherno need to get out of your comfort zones.

I think just about everyone mentioned the wee boaty, matey :lol:

[DropBearChick 1217]

Will it protect from a bullet to the chest or just melee weapons?

[jkruse05 11]

I found one in the new broken ship, unfortunately I'm having issues posting the screenshot.

[tickle_me_jesus 37]

I found two of them so far. Both times at the trainstation in Electro. One time it was inside the trainstation and the other time outside.

I found one at Elektro at the train station once, and another time at the NWAF in one of the barracks

Combat vest does to? does it?

[teufel937 49]

Ah, only if people would adhere to the words, " Press " and not KoS LOL.. then we could have news of Chernarus

I found mine at a runined bus station near a large construction project in the North East.Can't remember the name of it.

I heard tactical vest might have some, haven´t tested, only found 2 of those and valued the better camo on the uk vest above the protection i might´ve gotten.

Got one a day ago, Cherno TS. Should also offer some ballistic prot, but you lack the two extra slots any other military vest offers. If you care for the look it's not that bad though. You can compensate the two slots or just use a protection case. Or two at once.

 

I hope similar clothing will make it into the game (well, they already said it will but still hoping!) so that you can have some more distinction. Also or especially for more friendly-ish players.

 

Roughly, so far it's basically "Freshspawn" grade, "civilian level" and "military grade". The majority being in between 2 and 3.

 

You can already mix clothing somewhat, though. A guy with a press vest can indeed be some kind of reporter, either generally or within a group (recorder). Or in general non-bandits. You can also designate a medic by mixing certain clothing and using a rebreather mask or whatever it is called.
