In Call of Duty DMZ, you can choose from various tools, equipment, and body armor to successfully complete faction missions. With season 3, four new types of body armor were added to the game, and you need to know the best three-plate vests to use in DMZ.
In DMZ, you must complete missions for different factions quickly, and these missions happen across both the Ashika Island and Al Mazrah maps. You will come across enemy operators and AI combatants, and the regular three-plate armor vest does not provide the best protection against these opponents. From our experience, it’s best to collect the items required to Barter these three-plate vests to get the best out of every run in DMZ.
Here are the best three-plate armor vests to use in Call of Duty DMZ.
Best three-plate body armor in Call of Duty DMZ
In DMZ, you can use the Barter System from the buy station to get different types of three-plate vests. These body armors come with certain perks that help you out during tricky situations. We recommend finding the materials required to Barter these vests first before visiting a buy station.
Three-plate Medic Vest
The three-plate Medic Vest is the best body armor to use if you are playing in a squad. This body armor allows you to revive teammates much faster. Similarly, while wearing this vest you can use self-revive kits to get back up from a knocked state even faster.
You can also carry the Revive Pistol to implement the medic playstyle properly while teaming up with friends. Here are the items you’ll need to trade the three-plate Medic Vest from the Barter System.
- One Watch
- One Liquor
- Three Bandages
Three-plate Comms Vest
The three-plate Comms Vest is the best body armor to use if you are playing a solo run in Call of Duty DMZ. The three-plate Comms Vest comes with a UAV boost that increases the duration and effectiveness of all UAVs. Activating UAV towers, or using UAV Killstreaks will last for longer, while using the AI UAV radios will make it function like an Advanced UAV.
The three-plate Comms Vest also provides an audio cue when opponents are nearby. The easiest way to get this body armor is to use the Barter System by trading the following items.
- One Soothing Hand Cream
- Two Batteries
- Two Hard Drives
Tempered Plate Carrier
The Tempered Plate Carrier is another good body armor you can choose while playing DMZ. This body armor is an improved carrier that protects the same as three-plate vests but only requires two armor plates. You can conserve plates while using the Tempered Plate Carriers and have that extra slot in your backpack to keep killstreaks or other equipment.
