Apparently they took them out though? There was even a thread I read the other day where someone discussing if a player they saw wearing one in a vid had hacked it in, or if they had just lived on that char for months with it since they took it out of the loot spawns.

Gas masks are awesome? Especially with boonie hat :D

A player in NEAF. I was looting the bottom floor and I heard someone log in. I ran upstairs and got the drop on him before his gun was out. I told him straight away to drop the vest or I'd pop him. He refused, and it sounded like he was almost in tears. I did what I had to do. (;

Stable.

Yes, but it was removed a long time ago as it didn't quite fit the character right and was causing graphical errors. They're extremely rare now.

I don't know how you'd "hack it in" but this was from a guy I killed. Pristine, too.

Damn that's too bad, was hoping it was still dropping. Guy was probably on a char he hadn't used in forever or something. Congrats though, that must've been intense.

 

I'd think it would be easy to generate, from what I've read all they did was remove it from the loot table, the code is still in the files. Not sure if that's true or not, but it made sense at the time.

That sucks they removed it.

Yeah, but they haven't been spawning in ages. As far as I know the only way to get one is to kill a player who acquired one before the update where they stopped spawning.

[tiadashi 262]

uhh I saw several in the nwaf today and have seen them regularly since I started playing - unless u mean the other "type" as shown in the op's pic

There are TACTICAL Vests and ASSAULT Vests. Totally different.

 

Then there are PRESS Vests and ANTI-STAB Vests.

 

Tactical Vests currently DO NOT spawn.

I don't know, until the devs put in some reason for me to wear a gas mask, I don't bother even looking at them.  IRL, gas masks would completely suck to run in.  I've been told.  Also, when the SA first came out, everyone had a gas mask on.  It's played out for me by now, until they can be painted.

Yes, the one on the character model looks kinda like an assault vest, while it has the standard tac vest look in the inventory. It definitely did not look like that on the character before.

[blacklabel79 949]

It allways looked the same and allways floated above the shoulders...

[TokumeiSennin 34]

Why that tactical vest looks so odd on your character ?

I'd love to be able to paint them. I'd also love to be able to paint the Hunting Backpack. I really like the whole "28 Days Later" look. I usually try to get a Wool Coat, Hunting Backpack, Bandana and Gask Mask. The chick at the first of the movie who saved the main character is my hero. <3

It does look kind of like an Assault Vest, but the Tactical Vest has definitely always looked like that.

Aye!

It's the reason they indefinitely removed it. It interferes with certain backpacks and clothing. It floats too high on your character.

 

UPDATE: I am now dead and the vest is now gone, as was expected. All I do on Regular is get into mindless battles at airfields, so it was bound to happen. I've passed on the legacy to a group of six guys from the [GHOST] clan who thought it would be cool to ghost inside the wall/floor of the NEAF jail in order to kill me. I was deflecting bullets from the walls downstairs and hitting them, so they started taunting me and telling me I'd be dead in a few minutes "when their friend got there".

 

Tactical Vest, until next we meet! /salute
