Armor and item drops
Armor vests and plates, and the ammo, armor, salvage and equipment that zombies drop.
Armor vests
Buy an armor vest from a wall chalk. The vest tier sets how many plates you can wear.
| VEST | COST | PLATES |
|---|---|---|
| RARE | 4,000 | 1 |
| EPIC | 10,000 | 2 |
| LEGENDARY | 14,000 | 3 |
Upgrading pays only the difference. Refilling costs 4,000.
Plates
- Each plate soaks 100 damage.
- Armor takes half of each zombie hit (more with some Jugger-Nog augments).
- You carry 3 spare plates, or 4 with the Plate Hunter augment.
Item drops
Zombies drop items every 2 to 5 kills. There are at most 20 on the map, and each lasts 120 seconds. Walk over one or press the use key to pick it up.
- Ammo
- Armor plates
- Salvage (spent at the Arsenal)
- Claymores and throwing axes: carry up to 2 of each. Only the thrower can pick up their own thrown axe while they are up.
