Assault Vest

"Combining High Grade ballistic armor with top of the line lightweight durable fabrics, the Assault Vest provides strong protection without emcumbering the soldier who wears it."

- The Arsenal

The Assault Vest is a vest that was released in the 12-9-09 Patch. It is a one-of-a-kind vest that offers protection and gives a speed boost, similar to the Spy Vest. This appears to be restricted to Mercenaries and Specialists.

Overview
The Assault Vest gives a +10% boost to protection and a +3% boost to speed. It is also the first Black Market exclusive Vest.

The Assault Vest is a variant of the Balanced Vest, just like many of the other vests. Aesthetically, they look almost exactly the same.

It is disliked by many GP players because the vest looks exactly the same as the Balanced Vest, and it gives the same protection. However, the total speed increase from the Balanced Vest of +11% essentially gives NX players a very large speed advantage over GP players, especially if the vest is combined with the Cyclops Bandana.

The AV currently costs 4,900 NX for 30 days or 8,900 NX for 90 days.

Trivia

 * The Assault Vest is also known as the Advanced Balanced Vest.
 * It is the only vest to offer an increase in stats without a decrease in other stats.
