This has some info about armor damages like the M4 and AK.
Vest armor makes chest/body shots do less damage but hand/leg/headshot will do the same. It also take some damage from grenades.
BP helmets usually make headshots not do 100, and it will take 2 shots to kill them.
It's helpful because you don't get killed as fast. -
in pubs, most players can't aim and usually shoot your legs, so....body armor isn't that effective it's mostly stops grenades from killing you/doing a lot of damage to you.
in scrims/cw the bulletproof helm is somewhat effective. in most situations players usually aim at the upper chest/neck area, the first shot hits there and the second shot recoils to your head and kills you. but if they're 1 tapping your head then it saves you from dying in that instant. -
armors are for loser noobs, and maybe its okay for beginners. :rolleyes:
Beginners usually don't spend ZP until later in their gameplay experience.
I usually equip my full armor, but remove it when challenged or when attending special events.
i.e. Talon's GM Tournament -
It has different effects on the most of guns. The most annoying thing is that my mauser would kill with 1 burst (3 shots) even to legs, but against armor users it does about 70 dmg with 1 burst...its not for noobs you just cant get zp to buy it so you say its for noobs.....
It's definitely for players who aren't good enough to play without it. And I could buy/use it, but I don't. You won't find skilled/honorable players using it. -

it just give you a better chance to win. like you could say the same of 1-hit kill guns.
if you really that skilled you dare to use a sniper that needs 2 hits to kill. -
I used to have both pieces of armor, and found a bit of a difference, but when you have armor, you get used to taking that extra shot which is usually absorbed by the armor, then when you lose your armor, you die quite a it from that extra shot that you're accustomed to, but that only lasts for a little while.

Are you kidding me? Most of snipers have 1 hit kill. Snipers are heavy and slow. It requires skill to hit the target with your first shot. Snipers which don't have 1 hit kill are either light or fast/semi automatic. ---> Only 1 hit killer snipers require real skills (except when you are hardscoping). The only sniper with 2 hit kill that requires skills is the m700, but that would be like saying 'play with m16, other guns are noobish'.
I haven't ever heard anybody saying 1 hit killer snipers are noobish besides you... lol -
well there are so many hard scoping with a 1-hit kill sniper.Are you kidding me? Most of snipers have 1 hit kill. Snipers are heavy and slow. It requires skill to hit the target with your first shot.

really? its hard to hit someone on the chest for one time? even that your so slow.
you either bad at sniping or just bad at crossfire.
also a sniper is made to shoot from far not of closs and i see it alot people that no scope or wait and come out when he/she is closs and boom hit the chest and they got no chance. also your not allowed to spray with a m12/tomsen so why should 1hitting with a sniper be allowed? it dont really ask skill to play with a 1-hit kill sniper.... if you can aim abit you can be good with it. -

I use it whenever I win it in ZM, then go back with it in another ZM room to win it again, never buy it, but it's still useful in pubs, although the difference isn't very noticeable for the helmet (saves you once every 60 rounds or so)ManInMotion wrote: »The armour can help a lot too.

I do play with my broken M16 (20%) and have better results than with my ruger mini-14 (ask Upex). It's actually a decent gun. -

Your opinion about snipers just shows that you don't use snipers (and as I see you only have DSR-1, that's really a hardscoper sniper).
See my KDR (I have NEVER farmed) or ask anybody who knows me. I don't suck at crossfire, but if you want to test me out, play an 1v1 with me.MisterMunzta wrote: »I do play with my broken M16 (20%) and have better results than with my ruger mini-14 (ask Upex). It's actually a decent gun.
What I said is that you can't ask others to play with m16. If you like using m16 then do it, sometimes I use m700 (and get better KDR with it than with my FR thanks to its weight and speed. -

I know, I wanted to point out that you could have found a better comparison, like everyone with the famas or the uzi. -
lol i never snipe? i only snipe the last months and i never really used a rife.Your opinion about snipers just shows that you don't use snipers (and as I see you only have DSR-1, that's really a hardscoper sniper).

also about that dsr-1 i got but never use it. its crappy with the scope just one and i cant get use to that lol. i only use m700 and awm sometimes when im really sleepy and cant really aim straight anymore.
but i just think its kinda unfair to have a one hit kill sniper well if the armor would take some damage then it would be fair but with a rife you shoot and sometimes the armor takes like half of the damage so it should take some damage of a sniper shot aswell.
