Vest DZ

The Vest is a type of gear featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.

Description

Protective chest wear to guard against melee and projectiles.

Background

The military and police have always invested in the so called 'bulletproof vest' to ensure the greater safety of their personell in high-danger combat. Widely used by SWAT and military detachments.

Effect

Increases total health by a percentage, depending on the vest's level.

-The heavy variant of the Vest sacrifices movement speed for a greater health increase.

How to Obtain

  • It can be scavenged during missions.
  • May be craftable later on.

Tactics

This piece of gear is obviously quite passive in it's use. It can be used indiscriminantly as most classes will benefit from it. However, it is best used to bulk up a short range or melee fighter to ensure they have a good bulk of hitpoints to suck up any glancing blows from the infected before they dispatch them.

It can also be put to good use in improving the performance of low-health classes such as the Recon - the Recon class has the lowest base health of all classes and can be incapacitated quickly by the horde if they are overwhealmed. Equipping them with a vest improves their chances of exiting a mission less scarred.
