Smersh vest = assault vest Assault vest = field vest High cap vest = tactical vest

Was kinda rushed to edit, theres a couple mistakes but i did the best in the time frame i had. Kinda really annoying to edit as my Mic and editing software kept fucking up. gyazo.com/22104048884dae863e5ca3a30a73b50c < Image of the chart

i rather die looking good than live wearing a skate helmet.

He forgot the best vest in the game the reflective vest

Suddenly regretting all those hockey helmets I left behind

imagine using a helmet on dayz -message brought to you by the dayz hat gang

For the bit about the plate carrier, it’s been tested that the pouches AND pistol holster (with a pistol or without it) absorb damage before the plate carrier does. So in theory your pouches and pistol holster can tank a few bullets before becoming ruined and then the rounds hitting the plate carrier itself. Pretty neat!

so basicly if you wear best armor u most likely die from one tap by some 9mm but when its enemy you end up with your mag empy and as freshie

A assault helmet saved me from a headshot from a cr-537 just yesterday

Plate carrier saved me just an hour ago on Xbox.. multiple hits from mp5 and I didn't take any damage. The guy shooting me pooped himself when I whipped out the saiga + drum mag as I proceeded to full auto in his direction.

I got shot in the head by a mosin by bandits point blank, i survived... my nick name is Crome Dome.. we became friends - first few weeks of xbox one dayz

Plate carriers have saved my life more times than i can count, to the point where i don't feel safe unless I'm running a plate carrier/press vest

The firefighter helmet: Am I a joke to you?

Cant you just make some tier list at the end of every video? It would be so much better and easier to learn.

Yew! Our resident DayZ scientist. Thanks for sharing brother! As a noob I really find these videos super helpful. I'd rather learn what armor is best the easy way from a video like this than from the hard way like getting shot at, that's for sure

Wow! Good stuff to know! Won’t be skipping over that stab vest anymore

does gear only protect on the skin they're covering? in that case the assault helmet would be more powerfull as it can cover your whole skull

I like using the Press Vest when in Role Play, it makes me feel more realistic for some reason

I have played dayz for many years now but never seen or heard of the hunting vest. 😅 Btw. Love ur vids cause of stuff like this. 💙

Btw, I wanted to thank you RavPlays, I have learnt so much from you about this game. Keep the good work, you are the only youtuber who I can count on about the stuff because of good explanation and welll updated videos.

Once i got shot directly in head from above (762x39 sks) but i was wearing a ballistic helmet and nothing happen except that i lost 40% of my life. That helmet is fcing damn good

Great video bro, super helpful and full of information:) Keep it up!

Most military helmets in real life especially the older ones are really meant for shrapnel and should only stop a bullet if there is Kevlar in them

Love the content. Would be cool to team up one day with you. Interesting i thought the leather jacket offered protection, i took a AKM round and didn't bleed. Or my buddy hit me with a axe and no bleed

Love these kind of videos! Good variation, keep up the good work man

Wore full kit of helmet, comtacs, mask, plate carrier with pouches and holsters, combat belt with pouches. Survived about 9 hits from a modded Juggernaut Bear.

Has nobody really made a motorbike helmet joke about coronavirus yet? Cmon it’s right there

Only person who makes quality tutorials💯💯

Love these videos, enjoy them :D

Great video man, very informative, if you want to get involved with making a mod to make all these items have more specific stats let me know its a very easy to do and with your input we could make something quite balanced. reply me a message if your up for it.

Tier1 helmets (all armour really) should only give -50% impact reduction for the HP percentage of the bullet damage, and any further HP dmg should be added WITHOUT the -multiplier. Idk if this is how it Does work, but it’s how it Should be for non-bulletproofed gear especially. So for example a 24dmg low-caliber round would take -50%impact for 17/24dmg pts. And the remainder of 7dmg would go through at 100% effectiveness.

I really like the Smersh vest due to its practically with weight and inventory space but I turn down a combat vest unless I find mag pouches seeing it doesn’t have inventory without them and I rarely find enemies seeing how the server I’m on has a lot of friendlies.

I just wanna say before I watch the video.. THANK YOU!!!!

Would like an optimal protection video against all attacks.

Well you know... Gotta love me some FashionZ

Boom.... In depth is back!!! That's where you've been ha ha. Well played Dr..............Rav ;)

I have been waiting for this thank you rav!

Ushanka gang rise up!

Nice video Rav, very informative

Reflective vest: Am I f*cking joke to you !?

What about the field vest?

The more you know, the more you can apply Thanks for the tips 🤘

I personally own a Smersh Vest Set up for SVD and its pretty reliable and same goes for the UK Assault Vest Hi Cap But No Protection and Nice vid Btw

7:21 I will definitly do that. Style over substance any day, I'm wearing the camo baseball cap because it looks cool. Fuck the damage mitigation.

I love the smersh vest, as i snipe with gillie sp i dont need armour i need space for my mp5.

Rav great vid mate BUT you missed one thing regarding protection, i have confirmed that having a handheld reciever can save your life if ya shot on the shoulder but is it possible to have survived a shot on a plate carrier with a holster with pistol in it and pouchers vs plate carrier with out holster and pouchers?...is this a thing.

you could cut the highpass in high notes, so the video get less ASMR. other than that, i love this channel!

Amazing as always cheers mate!!

The millitary helmets are also much more likely to ricochet bullets that normally would have killed you

0:43 I actually want protection from zombies the most. I don't usually get shot at

I’ve been trying this game and finally found a group!

I cant believe the assault vests have ballistic protection, I assumed it was the same as the field vest. 0. Thanks for the vital Info

Never came across the hunting vest either :s do console versions have hardly anything in the game compared to pc? I feel robbed now :(

8:37 W E T

Going through helmets one by one and listing stats makes it really hard to compare and figure out the best one, a graph would be nice

btw I think if a shot brings the armor to state = ruined, all the damage of said shot/projectile is not counted towards the armor, but towards the player, as if he had no armor

The weight difference on the tactical helmet is the mounting hardware on it one would assume.

The ballistic or press vest rather is better than the plate carrier bc it deflects almost as much as the plate carrier and its half the weight

12ga slug headshots are pretty lethal

Put them next to each other. Just listing facts is like looking at a chart

Somebody better be paying you for all these videos

Stab vest protects more against bullets and explosions. Because its not a slice vest👌👌

Well you are correct but wrong on one part and that is most helmets have fire geo meaning you can set how a item interacts with projectiles meaning it doesn't matter if you set the hit points to 1million for the hockey helmet the bullet will still go through the helmet this is all based on rvmats this can be found in data/penetration and all helmets use different and similar rvmats this Asli goes for the face shield visor this will stop some lower caliber bullets

I took a SVD point blank to the chest with the stab vest and got the ghillie guy point blank with the Sawn off BK37

What about the radius of protection e.g. Gorka helmet has a visor does that provide face protection?

7:42 while I don’t think it would be quite as good as a plate carrier stab vests are actually pretty resistant as they have to be stronger than some bullet resistant vests because with bullets they only need to reduce the impact whereas with knives they have to stop it getting through entirely I know it’s not the best explanation and it’s still a bit Illogical in game but I wouldn’t say it’s entirely inaccurate is all. (Oh and btw when I said some bullet resistant vests I was referring to soft armour as obviously hard armour like the plate carrier would be significantly better)

Gimmie kiss bro

Would have been nice to see some charts to help clarify what does what and would help me remember and understand the numbers a bit better but I liked it anyway so keep it up👍🏼

The useless vest are great for stealth and pack mulling supplies.

If you die and you dont look good then youve failed :P

I just shot through a stab vest with a .357 with a carbine

Great vid with lots of info! Not sure how difficult it would be, but can u do one on modded vests?

The Great Helm is clearly the best helmet

You should do a video on how much gloves protect you from.

ASMR Change my mind

This is why I aim for the legs

Helmets? Where my hat gang at?

Still wears the great helm over everything else

seems like the melee damage reduction is the same as the infected damage reduction idk why u had to specify for each item lol. thx for the information though men. rather helpful cuz ive only just started playing. im at like 50hrs ingame now.

Would you mind linking the music in the begining of the video?

when i played in the play for free weekend. i allways used a bike-helmet XD i think it saved me some time :D

Why is none of this information in the Wiki? Do the editors even try?

👑 You are the best bro 👑

Leather use to. That’s why the rumor

i wear the full plate carrier with pouches and gun holster and it's perfect saved me many times from sniper fire, but it's really bad against zombies one or 2 hits from zombies and it's gets damaged

Is there a way to find out the stats for moddet wests/ helmets like Sobr or jug suit?

everone knows that plate carrier is the only thing that saves you from bullets..

I’ve tanked a bear and a six man squad with the same plate carrier

I love ur content u should have a lot more subs could u make a vid on iron sights vs other attachments that would help a lot I’m new to the game and wondering witch is better for pvp

Just killed one with 2 shots by a .308 M417.. One in the chest, one in the head. Vest, Jacket, Helmet and mask completely ruined. Yes, helmets do help. If the enemy doesn't have a high end gun 😅 (He shot my plate carrier 5 times with 5.45x39, only damaging it.) I lost half my health but was not bleeding.

I can't even find a rock let alone armor

Dope video

Assault vest is the best the goal is to not get hit lol

I like the plate carrier but damn it weighs a lot but I like the press vest more

I Love Videos like this

More people would use moto mike helmets if they didn’t suppress your voice so much.

The way this guy says 0 makes me furious.

I'm sure this guy is actually James Acaster

This running simulator game is fun. Wish there was more loot
