Protection in Season 02
| Item or parameter | Before | Season 02 |
|---|---|---|
| Level 3 Armor & Helmets | 55% | 50% |
| Level 4 Armor & Helmets | 65% | 60% |
These are published armor and helmet reduction values, separate from suppression resistance. They do not establish a fixed number of hits to survive. Level 4 helmets now muffle sound and proximity chat, restrict the field of view and fog while sprinting. Armor tier is distinct from account or role level.

Limits, durability and field use
| Item or parameter | Published value |
|---|---|
| Level 3 Helmet · suppression resistance | 68% |
| Level 4 Helmet · suppression resistance | 80% |
| Infrared Range Finder · battery active use | About 80 s |
| Medical Bag · durability | 100 → 150 |
| Halligan Bar · uses | 5 → 7 |
| Parachute · minimum opening altitude | About 10 m |
| Fast fall · late opening can cause fall damage | Below roughly 50 m |
Rapid toggling drains the Infrared Range Finder battery faster. Parachutes take longer to open; the approximate heights above are limits and warnings, not a guaranteed safe jump height.
Molotovs can be thrown overarm or underarm, deal impact and continuing fire damage, and burn destructible foliage. Rain reduces the fire. Hammers no longer breach doors or gates; the Halligan Bar can breach both. Explosives and placeables cannot be used from enclosed vehicle seats.
