Special operator vests explained

Operators have the chance to make special vests in the Barter station. The vests have different versions: Comms vest, Stealth vest, and the Medic vest.

The vest types

Comms vest

The comms vest has the ability to notify the player of enemy operators. When the enemy is in close range. It will inform you about teams close by. The time UAVs are active is also extended. What gives you an advantage in controlling a sector on the map.

Stealth vest

The stealth vest has the advantage that nobody can see you on the map. When a UAV is active, you can walk through it, and the enemy operators will not see you on their map. The comms vest is also weak against the stealth vest(when solo, or if all team members), when you are close.

Medic vest

With the medic vest, the time it takes to revive downed teammates is reduced. The second benefit is the time it takes to regenerate health.

Tempered vest

The tempered vest is a also nice one to have. It has 2 slots for plates, but it is as protective as a 3 plate vest. When in a heavy fight. It reduces to be fully plated again. Definitely a good choice when you like PvP.
