Do clothes offer armor protection

[thequantum 52]

Does wearing a short and pants mean I can take more damage from a gun?  And if so, does wearing a pristine shirt offer more protection than a worn shirt?

Test it out.  Get shot with a mosin with a shirt on, then do it again without one!

yes and no it depends on the clothes you wear the range of the gun and the bullet. I don't think they offer that much of a difference for bullets not to sure though. It does seem to help with zombies hitting you giving you a better chance at not bleeding. I would think that yes it depends on the quality of the clothes a pristine bullet proof vest is better than a worn or damaged one.

I dare say there would not be any real difference at all for standard clothing.

 

Until you start acquiring equipment like webbing that has gear init then a bullet strikes it. A backpack on full of stuff(s) being shot from behind would have a different effect on you also

Press vest reduces some damage from bullets to the chest. Anti-Stab vest reduces melee damage. Ballistic helmet reduces bullet damage to head. So some armor pieces do reduce damage.

wtf?

did anyone even read that? lol

Yes, the higher the quality the more % damage you can absorb.

Two times already I got one shot from 500 meters with a mosin because my check shirt and jeans were ruined, tac vest was pristine tho. When I had all the said items pristine, I started bleeding, didn't die instantly. I was crawling on the elektro hospital roof, got killed from the sniper hill. Couldn't have been headshot twice, one shot one kill.

With a helmet and vest on it takes more time for a zombie to make me bleed

personally, i think the helmet is all BS. i was always wearing one and usually died in 1 to 2 shots. i didnt feel it did anything.
