I suggest you watch the whole thing, its really good info and Wobo knows almost everything about dayz sa there is to know.

[General Zod 1118]

Interesting, googled it, and most people say plate carrier offers very little protection.

doesn't really matter - most kos people aim for your legs to get more of your stuff intact.

[General Zod 1118]

Yes it matters, because regardless of where they aim, it's always better to wear more protection.

I remember reading somewhere that it is also dependent on the amount of items you have in it at the time. But never got around to confirming it.

That is correct. WOBO covered this too.

So I'm carrying a press vest inside a plate carrier. Am I invincible ?

No. Supes kicked your ass all over town.

That's because I took off my vest. Duh

Actually I believe what was found was that the more items you carry inside clothing, the more damage you take. The best thing is to carry everything inside containers. But its not super-important as most rifles kill you with one shot irrregardless of your clothes/armour.

 

its kinda dumb since in real life the whole object of a ballistic vest or plate carrier is to prevent bullets from getting through it. Lets hope they develop this further.

I don't think so. I am pretty sure it's the number of items that matter, not what the items are. It's better to fill your inventory with one slot items, or one slot items inside containers as the container counts as one too.

Yes and no. That used to be the case but for whatever reason it's the reverse now.

Take a look at that video I posted. WOBO explains it well. 

Either way, putting things in containers helps.
