* BulletproofVest: ''Contract Wars'' has several body armours, alongside a complex hit system and armour penetration formula. The best armour in the game, FORT Rosich+Helmet, alone has 150 points of armour, and can stop a single headshot below 60 damage. With all skills, 125HP and 160 AP plus 80% damage resist to the limbs and some explosion resist cna turn you into a tough nut to crack. If somehow your Clan has all the skills, this then increases to a whopping 160/220 HP/AP, with some caveats. Namely, the only time you'll be able to 100% benefit is bullets hitting the upper torso. With rounds landing on other areas, the armour level is effectively 160.
