Tanker Vest

"This vest, normally utilized by tank crews, provides the first class protection of a Heavy Vest while still maintaining a good degree of mobility."

- The Arsenal

The Tanker Vest is a vest that was added in the 2-3-10 Patch. It is the NX variant of the GP-bought Heavy Vest.

Overview
The Tanker Vest offers +17% damage reduction while slowing the player down by 9% which is good for the players who enjoy rushing or staying back, like a tank.

Currently, the Tanker Vest offers the best protection of all the purchasable Vests in terms of damage reduction.

The name could be a reference to the term "tank", which is used to refer to someone who has survived a direct hit by a one-hit kill weapon.

One of the other items you should use along with this vest, is the Cyclops Bandana which would bring down your speed penalty down to only 2%, and with the National Facemasks or the Anti Flash Goggles, you could have a speed boost of 1%.

Trivia

 * The Tanker Vest rivals Hauser's Commando Vest.
 * The Tanker Vest can be considered to be the brother of the Recon Vest, as they both come pre-colored white and give a big boost to either armor or speed.
