In Arena Breakout Infinite, body armor covers your torso and helmets protect your head, and both reduce the damage you take from bullets. Each piece is rated by class from 1 to 6, and a higher class stops more of what enemies fire at you. Whether a round gets through, which is called penetration, also depends on its pierce level, how worn the armor is, and a little randomness. Knowing how these pieces work makes it much easier to pick the right gear for the raid you're heading into.

What Body Armor and Helmets Do
Body armor is the vest or rig you wear over your torso. A basic vest covers your chest and upper abdomen, while full-body pieces add protection for the lower abdomen and shoulders. Better coverage stops more shots.
Helmets protect your head, and a clean headshot is one of the fastest ways to lose a fight. Some helmets also cover the ears or face, and both helmets and masks wear down as they take hits. Helmets and face masks don't ricochet rounds, so whether a shot gets through depends on its pierce level and the helmet's remaining durability. That makes clean headshots land reliably.
How Armor Classes and Penetration Work in Arena Breakout Infinite
Body armor and helmets are rated on a scale from class 1 to class 6, and a higher number means more protection, though nothing is fully unbeatable.
Class only tells part of the story, because every round also has a pierce level that the game compares with your armor's class. Ammo with a higher pierce level than your armor's class has a strong chance to get through and deal heavy damage to your health. Ammo that matches your class still loses a lot of its damage to the armor. Lower-pierce ammo has a harder time, though repeated hits can still wear the plate down. Some randomness is also involved, so the same shot doesn't always go the same way.
Armor Durability, Repairs and Materials
Every hit lowers the current durability of your armor, and the less durability it has left, the less protection you get. Worn-down armor gives you very little protection, but it still carries its full weight. A badly damaged plate can be penetrated even if its class is high, so it's worth checking durability before you take an optional fight.
You can repair armor to bring some of its durability back, but every repair also lowers its maximum durability. Over time, a plate that has been repaired many times is worth less than its class suggests.
Material is part of the same trade-off. Steel pieces tend to be heavy for the protection they give, while lighter materials like aramid and polyethylene keep your load down.
How Armor Weight Affects Movement
Armor adds weight, and weight slows you down. Light pieces barely touch your movement speed, but the heaviest class 5 and 6 full-body pieces cost far more.
Armor also slows how quickly you aim, handle your weapon and switch between actions, and that hurts most in close fights. Your armor's weight stacks with your backpack and weapon, so the total load is what really decides how fast you move.
Where to Get Body Armor and Helmets
You can buy body armor and helmets with Koen, the in-game currency, or loot them during raids from AI enemies and other players, so what you find changes from raid to raid.
Which Body Armor and Helmets Matter Most
If you're just starting out, class 1 and 2 pieces are enough to learn with, and class 3 or 4 covers most regular raids. Among the top body armor, the BT6 Heavy and 926 Composite are the class 5 pieces that matter most, and the BT101 Tactical is a lighter class 6 chest piece worth a look. The BT201 Full Body is the full-coverage class 6 option.
Helmets are less clear-cut, since each one trades durability and weight a little differently. Weigh durability against weight and pick the one that suits how you fight.
FAQ
Why does my armor wear out so fast in Arena Breakout Infinite?
Every round carries an armor damage value, which sets how much durability it takes off a plate on each hit. Rounds with high armor damage can strip a plate's protection quickly, even when they never fully penetrate. A long fight against heavy rounds can drain a plate faster than you'd expect.
Should I repair damaged armor or replace it?
Repairing makes sense when a plate still has most of its durability and value left. On heavily damaged high-class pieces, though, selling the armor or using it for one more raid can beat paying for repeated repairs.
Is class 6 armor always the best choice?
Not always. A lighter class 4 can outperform a slower class 6 in fast, aggressive fights, where your movement and weapon handling count for a lot. Class 6 earns its extra weight in long, high-risk fights against well-equipped players.
