Jun 27, 2016 The Division's first paid expansion, Underground, launches tomorrow alongside the major 1.3 update. Now, Ubisoft Massive has released the complete patch notes for the update, letting players know. No its true u can craft a vest with 3 mod slots. Ultimate dps increase is a reckless vest with 3 mod slots. Im on vest craft #62 and havent gotten one yet though.
First, Let's talk about the Armor Slots, there are mostly defensive bonuses added to them like reduce the damage from the upcoming fire. From 20% to 30% Armor will definitely provide you an effective damage reduction. This guide will not only show you how the Armor stats work but also which armor to equip while playing PvE or PvP in the game.
As everyone are aware of how Armor mitigates the Gun damage(not for grenades), so going to 65% armor cap will not only give you an effective damage reduction but also, armor drops from 71.9% down to 71 which in return makes you, even more, stronger. Every Armor you equip has inbuilt armor bonuses, but the thing is which one gives you the best matters. Let's have a look at various Armor equip levels which one of the Reddit User had described in detail.
Armor Levels
Low
This is for the players with all Purple Armor with our Bonus then it will end up providing you Damage Reduction between 35% to 39%.
Medium
This is for the players with all Purple Armor, but with 1 or 2 armor Bonus and will end up providing you Damage Reduction between 40% to 50%. With good chest pieces and knee pads, it can easily hit 48% without fail.
Hard
This is for the players with all Purple Armor, but with 2 or 4 armor Bonus and will end up providing you Damage Reduction between 41% to 60%. This will also depend on your armor pieces you upgrade to chest, backpacks and knee pads it can easily hit 54% without fail.
The question here is which Armor or Gear Piece to Op? Well, this completely depends on your playing style on how you like to comfort them in your gameplay. Here are the Best of all teh gears.
Perfect Gear Piece
