=== GTA 1 — GTA 2 ===
+
=== [[2D Universe]] ===
In early [[Top-Down|top-down]] GTA games, armors in both GTA 1 (as well as [[Grand Theft Auto London]] mission packs) and [[Grand Theft Auto 2|GTA 2]] serve their intended purpose, adding 10 more hit points to the player's existing health, but provides no protection to the player when they [[Parachute#Falling prior to GTA San Andreas|fall from great heights]], are run over by vehicles, or are [[Busted|beaten up by the police and arrested]]. Armors are most commonly found spawned in specific locations or crates, and, in the case of GTA 2, can also be acquired by [[Crusher|crushing]] specific cars.

=== GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories ===
+
=== [[3D Universe]] ===
Body armor continued to be featured between [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|GTA Vice City Stories]], undergoing several more changes. In all of its appearances, armor now offers nearly the same amount of hit points as the player's full health, doubling the player's resistance to damage. The armor hit points stayed the same until GTA San Andreas where the armor is now a bar instead of hit points. In addition, armor can now pad injuries from falls, collisions with vehicles on foot, and even [[Melee Weapons|melee]] attacks; the armor in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]] and GTA Vice City Stories is an exception, providing no protection to the player from falls, while the armor in [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]] provides no protection to melee attacks.

In addition to spawning in specific locales, body armor can also be purchased at stores that sell weapons, such as [[Ammu-Nation]], as well as entering the police/[[SWAT]] [[Enforcer]] trucks. Like the player's health, armor hit points between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories (sans GTA Advance) can typically be increased easily via side-missions (such as "[[Vigilante]]"), as well as [[100%|100% completion of the game]].

The appearance of armor pickups has also changed significantly after GTA III. When included in GTA III, the pickup assumed the appearance of a shield icon; in games after, however, the pickup is redesigned as a spinning vest, possibly to avoid confusion with the [[Police Bribes|police bribe]] pickup.

====''Grand Theft Auto IV''====
Armor in GTA IV has been refashioned slightly out of realism. It no longer offers protection to falls, collisions with vehicles on foot, or melee attacks (including hand-to-hand combat and melee weapons), increasing the player's chances of death from these hazards. Armor in GTA Chinatown Wars appears to revert to pre-GTA IV settings.
 
  +
Armor in ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City|Episodes from Liberty City]]'' has been refashioned slightly out of realism. It no longer offers protection to falls, collisions with vehicles on foot, or melee attacks (including hand-to-hand combat and melee weapons), increasing the player's chances of death from these hazards. However, it may absorb damage when staying inside a broken [[Helicopters|helicopter]] on low altitudes (a higher altitude will not be enough to survive).
   
As expected, armor can be found lying about in specific points of the city (distinguishable by its red glow) as well as underground weapon dealers in GTA IV or [[AmmuNation.net]] in GTA Chinatown Wars. [[NOOSE]] [[Enforcer#GTA IV|Enforcers]] still provide the player some armor, but only gives the player roughly one third of the maximum amount (With the exception of [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars|GTA Chinatown Wars]], which gives the player full armor).

  +
When equipped, the [[Heads-Up Display|HUD]] will represent it as a blue half-circle bar located next to the [[radar]], along with the green [[health]] bar. Similarly, when aiming at armored targets, the weapon's reticle will have a smaller, light blue circle next to the health bar, usually seen on [[National Office of Security Enforcement|NOOSE]]/[[Federal Investigation Bureau|FIB]] agents.
===GTA V===
 
Grand Theft Auto V introduced a more complex body armor system, including five tiered armor vests ranging from small arms protection to large caliber weapon and explosive protection. Body armor once again provides protection from falls and impacts. Each next level tier provides an added 20% armor, and the player cannot buy the weaker armor after buying the next tier (buy light, cannot buy super light).
 
* Super Light Armor: [[$]]500 (20% armor)
 
* Light Armor: $1000 (40%)
 
* Standard Armor: $1500 (60%)
 
* Heavy Armor: $2000 (80%)
 
* Super Heavy Armor: $2500 (100%)
 
These five armor suits can be bought from [[Ammu-Nation]]. 
 
   
  +
====''Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars''====
Armor suits have been reported to be massively weaker in [[GTA Online]], even at 100%. Probably to compensate for this, players are able to have up to a maximum of ten reserve armor vests (at [[Rank|level]] 135) in their inventories.
 
  +
Armor in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]'' appears to revert to pre-''GTA IV'' settings. They can be found on [[AmmuNation.net]] or winning it with a [[Scratch Cards|scratch card]]. Unlike ''GTA IV'', entering a NOOSE Enforcer gives the player full armor.

The strength stat, when fully increased does seem to negate this. As it seems the strength stat gives a boost to both armor and health slightly. The armor difference is still very low (around 10-15% depending on the weapon used) but it seems that a super heavy vest (%100), with a character at max strength, can take 2-3 more hits from a carbine rifle or handguns, than a character with a super heavy vest (%100) without a very noticeable strength stat. This is caused by the fact that the strength stat DECREASES overall damage, and not just adds more health. This can be beneficial as it allows much more resilience with armor at range, and thus making armor purchases, and strength enhancing activities a better investment.

Revision as of 06:03, 9 March 2020

Heavy armor platting allowing protection for the torso and vital organs. Favored by mommas boys who don't have time to bleed.

Body Armor is a pickup and gear featured in the Grand Theft Auto series that serves primarily to protect the player's health from specific forms of damage, most notably gunfire. In most cases, body armor in the games is illustrated as a protective blue vest.

Description

The body armor's primary function is to serve as padding for the player health, in effect extending the player's resilience to damage from gunfire, explosions and fire. The Body armor is a standard-issue item among law enforcement agencies, but also a rare sight among criminals.

2D Universe

In early top-down GTA games, armors in both Grand Theft Auto 1 (as well as Grand Theft Auto: London mission packs) and Grand Theft Auto 2 serve their intended purpose, adding 10 more hit points to the player's existing health, but provides no protection to the player when they fall from great heights, are run over by vehicles, or are beaten up by the police and arrested. Armors are most commonly found spawned in specific locations or crates, and, in the case of GTA 2, can also be acquired by crushing specific cars.

3D Universe

Body armor continued to be featured between Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, undergoing several more changes. In all of its appearances, armor now offers nearly the same amount of hit points as the player's full health, doubling the player's resistance to damage. The armor hit points stayed the same until Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, where the armor is now a bar instead of hit points. In addition, armor can now pad injuries from falls, collisions with vehicles on foot, and even melee attacks; the armor in GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories is an exception, providing no protection to the player from falls, while the armor in Grand Theft Auto Advance provides no protection to melee attacks.

In addition to spawning in specific locales, body armor can also be purchased at stores that sell weapons, such as Ammu-Nation, as well as entering the Police/SWAT Enforcer trucks. Like the player's health, armor hit points between Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories (and GTA Advance) can typically be increased easily via side-missions (such as "Vigilante"), as well as 100% completion of the game.

The appearance of armor pickups has also changed significantly after GTA III. When included in GTA III, the pickup assumed the appearance of a shield icon; in games after, however, the pickup is redesigned as a spinning vest, possibly to avoid confusion with the police bribe pickup.

HD Universe

Grand Theft Auto IV

Armor in Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City has been refashioned slightly out of realism. It no longer offers protection to falls, collisions with vehicles on foot, or melee attacks (including hand-to-hand combat and melee weapons), increasing the player's chances of death from these hazards. However, it may absorb damage when staying inside a broken helicopter on low altitudes (a higher altitude will not be enough to survive).

As expected, armor can be found lying about in specific points of the city (distinguishable by its red glow) as well as underground weapon dealers in GTA IV. Enforcer armored vans still provide the player some armor, but only gives the player roughly one third of the maximum amount.

When equipped, the HUD will represent it as a blue half-circle bar located next to the radar, along with the green health bar. Similarly, when aiming at armored targets, the weapon's reticle will have a smaller, light blue circle next to the health bar, usually seen on NOOSE/FIB agents.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

Armor in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars appears to revert to pre-GTA IV settings. They can be found on AmmuNation.net or winning it with a scratch card. Unlike GTA IV, entering a NOOSE Enforcer gives the player full armor.

Grand Theft Auto V

Grand Theft Auto V introduced a more complex body armor system, including five tiered armor vests ranging from small arms protection to large caliber weapon and explosive protection. Body armor once again provides protection from falls and impacts. Each next level tier provides an added 20% armor, and the player cannot buy the weaker armor after buying the next tier (buy light, cannot buy super light).

These five armor suits can be bought from Ammu-Nation, apart from the weapons area.

The accuracy of some information on this page has been disputed.
You can help by finding sources to prove the integrity of the information or by discussing any changes that could be made on the article's talk page.

Armor suits have been reported to be massively weaker in Grand Theft Auto Online, even at 100%. Probably to compensate for this, players are able to have up to a maximum of ten reserve armor vests (at level 135) in their inventories.

The strength stat, when fully increased does seem to negate this. As it seems the strength stat gives a boost to both armor and health slightly. The armor difference is still very low (around 10-15% depending on the weapon used) but it seems that a super heavy vest (%100), with a character at max strength, can take 2-3 more hits from a carbine rifle or handguns, than a character with a super heavy vest (%100) without a very noticeable strength stat. This is caused by the fact that the strength stat DECREASES overall damage, and not just adds more health. This can be beneficial as it allows much more resilience with armor at range, and thus making armor purchases, and strength enhancing activities a better investment.
