NikosUncle Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 It only takes one or two shots for it to be gone completely... Its weaker than health ffs. Also its stupid how you lose armor on impact from falling down a hill etc. Falling should only drain your health. mmm chocolate, 018361, tom_p1980 and 2 others 5 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/691327-why-is-armor-so-weak/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineboxFiller Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Maybe it keeps you from getting stabbed with sharp sticks and cushions your fall? Plus I like it better as an extra health bar, it's even more stupid to die from something like that and have full armor. Then you lose it anyways upon your death.

killahmatic Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Armor is a bit odd. its more like bonus health instead of armor. no biggie though. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/691327-why-is-armor-so-weak/#findComment-1064923453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Yeah I don't know what the hell R* was thinking when they tweaked armor in this game, it barely has any changes from not wearing one thanks to the fact almost any gun destroys you in less than 6 shots or so.

Detective Phelps Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 In SP, the armour is actually useful (it can take quite a lot), but in Online, it only takes 3 bullets to rip through it.

tranceking26 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The thing I don't get is the different types of armour, there seems to be hardly any difference in them, you get low health whatever one you use. One would be ok, with the properties of IV's armour. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/691327-why-is-armor-so-weak/#findComment-1064925153 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get armour, the armour bar should be full IMO. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/691327-why-is-armor-so-weak/#findComment-1064925163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis_Mazur Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Yeah, the armor is kind of a joke on the game. The ratio price-resistance isn't good at all. I rarely buy armor for MFT because of how weak they are. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/691327-why-is-armor-so-weak/#findComment-1064926107 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiizardii Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Its not weak, its just less tweaked like most GTA games. Its basically just some extra health.

StarFyer Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I don't even waste money buying armor anymore, I just go and get a hidden one. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/691327-why-is-armor-so-weak/#findComment-1064929587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeilona777 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I agree. Armor in this game is crap. It should be permanent and not take any health from you, so long as you get shot in areas the armor covers. If you get shot in places other that where the armor protects, then your health should go. It would have made the game so much better.

Sir Winthorpe Herrington Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I just hate the fact that in SP we don't get the option to have our armor shown outside of our clothes like they get in online. Just another slight by R* to try and press this superiority of GTAO over SP. This is how it starts, trying to make GTAO the better option, the same but with so many more features and options. Example A: lets give one gun to single player, and then at the same time lets give that same gun + TONS OF OTHER sh*t to online and keep doing that each update, those stupid bitches will get the message on where to spend their time, and when they do...its nothing but shark cards ahahahaha.

I think the visible armour in GTAO looks a bit stupid. Not quite as bad as The Godfather II's turtle shell looking armour, but still looks silly IMO.

Zee Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I kind of like how difficult the enemies are and how little health you have in this game. It makes it more exciting.

rickyboy123 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 armour is really kind of a joke, instead of spending £500 on armour i just dash to the store and stack up on egocashers and ecolas, they may aswell just add armour to clothes items rather than make it a health upgrade Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/691327-why-is-armor-so-weak/#findComment-1064960195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detective Phelps Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) It should be like in Max Payne 3 multiplayer, where the armour reduces the amount of damage from a shot that hits the armour itself.
