Find the Bulletproof Vest in Silent Hill 3's Nightmare Mall. Learn how it reduces damage but slows Heather down.
The Bulletproof Vest in Silent Hill 3 provides protection against monster attacks. It reduces damage taken from standard attacks by approximately 15%. Blocking attacks with the vest can prevent all damage entirely, with the exception of heavy and unblockable attacks.
The primary drawback of the Bulletproof Vest is its weight, which slows Heather down considerably, limiting her to a slow jog and removing the ability to strafe (leaving sidestepping as the only side option). Due to this, it is more effective in tighter hallways during combat rather than when you expect to be moving around a lot.
The decision to use the Bulletproof Vest is up to the player, as it has both advantages and disadvantages. It is likely to be very helpful when engaging in melee combat, general close-quarters fighting, and even more effective when combined with blocking.
Location: The Bulletproof Vest is found on the far clothing rack in the clothing store in the north 1F hall of the Nightmare Mall.
- Consider using the Bulletproof Vest for close-quarters combat and when blocking attacks is a priority.
- Be aware that the vest will significantly reduce your movement speed, impacting exploration and evasion.
- The vest is less useful when you need to cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) large distances quickly.
