Overview

In vanilla, armour only reduces damage: every bullet still wounds and causes bleeding. With this mod a helmet and vest take the bullet themselves while they last. The body gets only blunt trauma — no wound, no blood. Every hit eats durability, and once a bullet is stronger than what is left of the armour, the armour breaks and the remainder goes through.

The second part is fractures. Limb health is raised so a broken bone grows back to the healing threshold and the splint can come off. Bones break exactly as in vanilla: limb damage is rescaled by the same factor.

Server-side only: nothing for players to download. STD AI bots get the same armour shield.

Features

A head shot hits the helmet, a torso shot hits the vest; while the armour holds, the body only takes shock
Blunt trauma: 20% of bullet damage to the torso, 30% to the head
Every bullet eats durability; penetration breaks the armour and passes the remainder to the body
Broken armour does nothing: the bullet goes through in full, as in vanilla
Any armour with serious bullet protection counts as a shield, including armour from other mods
Fractures heal: arms at 100, legs and feet at 125, about 7 minutes from zero to the threshold
Blood, shock, head and overall health stay vanilla
Settings in ArmorShield.json: armour threshold, wear, shock strength, class include and exclude lists, hit log
