How do items take bullet damage?

[thequantum 52]

Someone told me the press vest can take 4 or 5 hits from an M4. How does that work? If someone hits it 3 times, does the system remember the number of times it has been hit, and then if it is hit once several days later it's used up? Does the item condition change after it has been hit? If I have a "worn" vest and a "badly damaged" vest, will one stand up to more shots than the other?

Yes. Every item you have on you has a condition it's in. If you're hit by anything that would cause damage it takes the condition of the item that was it - if someone hits you in the chest it actually takes the condition of the vest and not for example your jeans and then proceeds from there.

 

This means if your vest is ruined anyway it won't absorb the damage. If it is in pristine condition however, it will.

 

The itemdamage is actually done before the damage to your character is done, so it always checks for items to be hit before inflicting the damage to you.
