Body Armour is a Primary Badge of the Assault class in Killzone 2 multiplayer.

Description

Body Armour gives the Assault double the health gauge of any other class, giving them 200 health points instead of the standard 100. This extra health is shown by a second green layer over the on-screen health gauge. This will enable Assault players to storm enemy positions and engage them in close combat. When losing the green health gauge, players will only be able to regenerate it up to 20%, leaving them 120 health points.

Strategy

• As the Body Armour is permanently equipped, Assault players can absorb and survive most instant kill fire from Shotguns or Sniper Rifles.'
• The additional health cushion allows Assault players to storm enemy positions and absorb most incoming fire as they unleash a barrage of rockets or LMG.
• Look for nearby Medics to bring back their health to full 200 and allowing to take much punishment as possible.
• Body Armour will not protect Assault players from headshots, which can still kill them regardless of their level of health. It is also inadequate protection against large explosives blasts.
