The '''flak vest''' is a type of [[apparel]] ([[armor]]) that protects well against sharp/piercing attacks (e.g. bullets, stabs, cuts, bites), and offer minor protection against blunt attacks, explosions and the ever-present threat of clubs, maces, and wild animals. They also reduce movement speed by 0.12. The vest protects torso, neck and shoulders. Flak vests can be purchased from traders, manufactured, or stripped from Outlanders and Pirates. Flak vests are typically encountered after the third or fourth raid, depending on difficulty and wealth (this assumes Rough and Crashlanded scenario, so somewhat 'standard' wealth). 

== Acquisition ==

Flak Vests can be commonly found on Outlanders, Pirates, Imperial Troopers and Ancients. Additionally, they can be manufactured at a [[machining table]], once [[Research#Flak armor|flak armor]] has been researched. A flak vest requires 60 steel, 30 cloth, 1 component, and 334 seconds of work (20,000 ticks) to be created, assuming baseline global work speed and no enhancements or hindrances to [[consciousness]], [[sight]], or [[manipulation]].

== Analysis ==

Flak vests provide good protection for a very small decrease in movement. Protecting the heart and lungs and liver can be game-changing. They offer slightly inferior protection, and vastly inferior coverage compared to [[marine armor]], but are also significantly cheaper to produce and purchase. They also only occupy the middle layer, meaning that overgarments such as [[duster]]s may be worn over the top, whereas marine armor occupies both the middle and shell layers so they cannot be worn with the armor. The Flak vest can be worn together with a Flak Jacket, so you do not have to choose one or the other. The jacket is identical to the vest, except it also protects arms and occupies the outer layer instead of middle layer.

Prior to Beta 19, it used to be called the Armor vest. It was much more expensive and did not protect against heat.

 == Analysis ==
-Flak vests protect well against Sharp damage, which includes all bullets, at a low cost and at a very small decrease in movement. They are a very cost-effective measure for overall damage mitigation. Because flak vests have much higher armor values than [[flak jacket]]s and  [[flak pants]], and as they protect most of the vital organs, vests should be created first.
-Specifically, the vest covers the neck, torso, and the internal organs (heart, liver, lungs, kidneys), which are immediately fatal to lose / lose both of. The only vital organs a vest does ''not'' cover are the head and brain, which headgear serves to protect. They also cover the shoulders, protecting [[Artificial body parts#Arms|artificial arms]] entirely.
+Flak vests provide good protection for a very small decrease in movement. Protecting the heart and lungs and liver can be game-changing. They offer slightly inferior protection, and vastly inferior coverage compared to [[marine armor]], but are also significantly cheaper to produce and purchase. They also only occupy the middle layer, meaning that overgarments such as [[duster]]s may be worn over the top, whereas marine armor occupies both the middle and shell layers so they cannot be worn with the armor. The Flak vest can be worn together with a Flak Jacket, so you do not have to choose one or the other. The jacket is identical to the vest, except it also protects arms and occupies the outer layer instead of middle layer.
-As vests occupy the middle layer, they can be worn with overgarments, like a [[duster]] or [[flak jacket]], for even greater protection.

-=== Comparisons ===
+Prior to Beta 19, it used to be called the Armor vest. It was much more expensive and did not protect against heat.
-Despite being much more advanced, the [[recon armor]] provides worse Sharp armor than a flak vest ''alone'', only faring slightly better against Blunt. Recon does cover the arms and legs, and has no movement penalty. But, overall, the flak vest with any sort of outerwear is better for raw protection - deaths from limb damage (specifically, from [[blood loss]] or lowered [[consciousness]]) are considerably rarer than torso shots.
-When worn with a protective duster, such as one made out of [[devilstrand]] or [[thrumbofur]], the flak vest is directly comparable to the [[marine armor]]. Marine armor still protects the limbs much better than any duster.
