Warzone Armor Plate Carriers explained: Comms, Medic, Stealth, Tempered
ActivisionWarzone introduced a game-changer with Armor Plate Carriers, adding extra layers of strategy with their effects and bonuses. Dive into our detailed guide on utilizing Armor Plate Carriers in Warzone & DMZ to your advantage.
Since their addition in Season 4 Reloaded, these carriers have significantly altered the game’s previously straightforward armor system.
While the idea started with just Tempered Armor Plate vests, three more additions were introduced to give armor real variety and allow players to better customize their playstyles around each vest’s strengths.
These vests remain an important part of Warzone, and this is our breakdown of what all the Armor Plate Carriers do and why you should be taking advantage of them.
How do Armor Plate Carriers work in Warzone?
Armor Plate Carries are a former DMZ exclusive feature that provides players different advantages based on their type. These passive perks vary but are impactful and can be the difference between winning a game and losing it.
Here are all four types of Armor Plate Carriers currently available in Call of Duty: Warzone:
- Comms – Increases the effectiveness of UAVs by showing all enemy players’ direction and bearing on the minimap even if they are using Ghost or a similar perk.
- Medic – Increases the speed at which Players can revive downed Squad members, and also decreases the delay before health regen triggers.
- Stealth – Protects the Player from enemy UAVs and other targeting devices, effectively acting as a superior alternative to Ghost as it also provides immunity to Birdseye.
- Tempered – Acts as an improved armor vest that protects the same protection as the 3 Plate Carrier while only needing 2 plates. This vest makes it faster and cheaper to heal up.
Players can get all of these Armor Plate Carriers as loot on the map, or from dead enemies.
