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!
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 will have to check out this DayZ tools program you mentioned. I do enjoy your very informative vids on the statistics of the game. But I am impatient, and curious about other aspects of the game, and could be waiting a while to find out things such as the stats on different animals. I know the bear is extremely hard to take down, but you can kill a sheep by darned near sneezing on it.
Still a perfectly enjoyable video and I always appreciate the effort and time it takes to make these videos they’re fun to watch and informative so keep it up bro :)
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.
@@thelocdesiringentryintoyou3686 I had to try to kill one with a hatchet. It was…a fun experience. But at least the armor survived, and I was able to patch it with duct tape and a leather sewing kit.
Yep, plate carriers are OP as hell. Always wear one, just carry less for the stam hit you take. It’s totally worth it. Being able to survive the first shot is very helpful.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
No, It does not protect you, This common myth has been disproved on a consistent basis, The handheld receiver has no hitbox and only takes AOE and Environmental damage
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.
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.
Ah right fair enough. Modded servers have only really just become available on consoles though havent they? I've only just started playing on modded servers, well xbox ones anyway
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
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
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)
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.
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
And it's dead on console. Just the shit private servers with too much loot and even those are few and far between and the only populated servers are shitty turd person view.
Thank you for the video, but aside from a couple of the helmets listed, no one cares or worries about base game values of items in the vanilla game. DayZ today is nearly entirely about the modded scene and this video (or perhaps a follow-up video) would be best served focusing on the community standard of modded helmets today (SOBR/pub-g style/etc).
I understand your point the problem with the modded ones is that there is so many to choose from, the majority of the population will experience the vanilla ones the most. Don't forget about the console playerbase, its probably bigger than the PC one, and they dont have any modded support.
@@RavPlays You ignore words utilized. Community standard = not every mod out there. I listed examples. These and a couple of others are what are widely accepted as being utilized by nearly every single top tier modded server today. When the console group get modded ability that you reported before, they will be playing with THOSE before anything else most likely. In regards to PC vs console playerbase numbers... really?
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👍🏼
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.
Does the dmg reduction %'s differ based on an ammo's penetration value? What about the distance the round was shot at you from (thus it's airspeed velocity)? I had both a plate carrier and tactical helmet on and got 1-shot by .308 from a mosin ~100m away. .308 is 110 headshot damage, and should have been reduced to 55 dmg total by the tactical helmet (if I was headshot), so how did I get 1-shot killed? (yes I did have full HP).
So your telling me a hockey helmet can stop a 762.39 round? Because I’ve been head shotted by somebody with a bk18 with a tactical helmet on and I’ve survived it without getting knocked out.
I'm actually not sure if the hi cap vest provides armor. Ive taken large rounds with it and lived so i assume so, but the wiki says it doesn't. So uh... I'd like to see it tested.
I'm new to the game but I mowed down a fully geared guy in plate carrier literally in 0.5 sec with KA-M. When I put his vest on, my stamina bar went to almost zero. Is the trade-off for stamina and slots really worth it? I might have gotten lucky but I felt this armor didn't help the guy at all.
RavPlays i played with a guy who said he tested it and said it’s true but can’t take his word for it without proof... he said he shot his friend with .380 and first shot did no damage second did wear as with the girls the first shot did damage
Hey was wondering if you could clear this up. Do diffirent helmets cover diffirent parts of your face? For example a combat helmet does not visually cover your jaw while a motorcycle helmet does. Does this mean getting shot in the jaw with a combat helmet, means you dont receive its benefits or is it treated the same as a motorcycle helmet? Also what about the enduro helmet attachments?
