Has anyone tested the stab/press vest against Zombies lately?

[Irish. 4886]

If so, what was the result?

 

 

Just wondering as I've never really had one and wondered what they do against Zombies now that they hit the chest rather than the head.

 

Feel free to also discuss Dean Hall, Hunting, and the Spice Girls music being brought to Dayz via radio stations. This is a topic free for all. GO!

sames as chest holster or tac vest last I read - maybe not so much the stab vest

Anti-Stab Vest:

class PoliceVest : VestBase {scope = 2;displayName = "Anti-stab vest";descriptionShort = "A standard vest worn by Police that consists of several layers of woven para-aramid fibers which are capable of reducing the impact of knife attacks.";model = "\DZ\characters\vests\policeVest_g.p3d";absorbency = 0.1;repairableWith = 0; class DamageArmor {ballistic = 0.1;bleed = 0.98;};

Press Vest uses Ballistic Vest:

class BallisticVest : VestBase {scope = 2;displayName = "Ballistic vest";descriptionShort = "A lightweight, hard-plate reinforced vest offering full torso protection that is able to absorb impact from both small calibre projectiles, fragments and knife attacks.";itemSize[] = {3, 3};model = "\DZ\characters\vests\plate_carrier_m.p3d";absorbency = 0.1;repairableWith = 0; class DamageArmor {ballistic = 2;bleed = 0.9;};

It's these values you're looking for:

ballistic = 2;bleed = 0.9;

Got the Code wrong.

The press vest has saved my life against bullets, I can confirm that. After 600 hours I've found half a dozen press vests.

 

Stab Proof Vest, just found my first one last night in a police station. Considering it says in the description its a police vest it would make sense that they can be now found in police stations. I haven't read of anyone saying they can be found in police stations, only read about Riffy and train stations.

 

It is unfortunate that there are no inventory slots on the SPV.

 

Sorry I can't completely answer your question about Zed damage, but I figured I would chime in about where the rarer of the two can be found.

 

Good luck!

Thank you, thats awesome. Now I just need to know what the Zed damage is and then I can Math it out.

[ptk (DayZ) 178]

Like you, i haven't found either, but the search continues...

[Etherious 907]

I havn't found any of those vests yet since Day 1. ;-;

Its not like I really look for them.. I may now, if they prove to be a help against Zeds. But I really stay away from Riffy and most train stations so I never really get a chance to see them. I get stuck in a certain groove of what I loot and how, and I think I need to mix it up more often. ;)

[Weyland Yutani (DayZ) 1159]

Now that I've seen those stats, anybody want to trade a Stab Proof Vest for a Press Vest on Hardcore?

 

Legitimate trades only, no traps.

Well, you can see how much it protects you from bleeding. 0.9 or 0.98

Yea, i think most of are guilty of that unless someone has a collecting fetish. Our trend of incorporating meta to coincide with our trial.and errors dictates what works for each of us generally and if it isn't broke, don't fix it!

[tiadashi 262]

the press vest is better if nothing for its ballistic pro and it has 6 slots - lopatino train station, many times

[Punknaught 0]

Having used all three, I would say the ballistic and press have save me from bleeding a few times. I have survived multiple strikes from a zombie without any problems.

Have mainly seen the stab vests in police stations and rarely in a storage/garage.

But I have seen a press vest in a barn before.

Ssshhhh

Where can you find this info for all gear? I would like to compare other items

I think he meant more literally. ;)

[hannibaldaplaya 1095]

I've found both Press Vests and Anti-Stab Vests in Police Stations.

 

Its always cool to be a new spawn with just a doublerifle and one of those vests. You're obviously a freshspawn, but you've got firepower and some ballistics protection (unless you go with the stabproof.)

[darth_vaizard 42]

I've only ever seen a single press vest and it was a ruined hand-me-down...

May I just ask what did you use to extract/view PBO files?

Any pbo manager that extracts .pbo's will do.
