How armour works, and every piece ranked →
How this works
Stopped is the share of the damage this piece takes off before it reaches you. It is a multiplier, not a shield: 70 % stopped means a round that would have done 100 does 30, every time — armour never runs out.
Shock is tracked separately because armour is often much better at one than the other. Shock is what knocks you unconscious, so a piece that stops the killing damage but little of the shock still leaves you on the floor.
Bleeding is not a percentage. The game rolls for a cut from the blood damage that got through, so a piece that passes none of it cannot open a wound on the part it covers.
These numbers stack with the weapon, not against it — start from the round's damage on the weapon pages and take this share off. How fast the piece itself falls apart is a separate system, covered in the gear guide.
Found in keycard crates
Inside crates behind a door you open with a keycard of the matching tier.
| Map | Doors | Category | Chance | Qty | How |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chernarus | T1 | equipment | 100.0% | 1 | rolled |
| Livonia | T1 | equipment | 100.0% | 1 | rolled |
| Namalsk | T1 | equipment | 100.0% | 1 | rolled |
| Sakhal | T1 | equipment | 100.0% | 1 | rolled |
| Stuart Island | T1 | equipment | 100.0% | 1 | rolled |
One line per map: the door chips are every keycard tier whose crate holds this item, and the chance spans those tiers. A crate fills each category separately and rolls its entries independently.
Where it spawns
Nominal is how many of this item the map tries to keep in the world at once. Tier is the loot tier of the buildings it rolls in, and Where is the location types that roll it.
| Map | Rarity | Nominal | Category | Tiers | Where | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chernarus | rare | 5 | clothes | T2 T3 | Military Police | Loot spawns |
| Livonia | rare | 5 | clothes | T2 T3 | Military Police | Loot spawns |
| Namalsk | rare | 2 | clothes | T2 T3 | military | Loot spawns |
| Sakhal | rare | 5 | clothes | T2 T3 | Military Police | Loot spawns |
| Stuart Island | very rare | 1 | clothes | T2 T3 | Military Police | Loot spawns |
Dashed chips are container tags. Namalsk filters loot by tag rather than by usage, so those maps list a tag where the others list a location type. A blank Tiers cell means the type names no tier at all and can roll in any of them.
