Bulletproof vest

The bulletproof vest is an item that can be bought from the store in Resident Evil 5 for 10,000 gold. While wearing the bulletproof vest, the character will take less damage from being shot. As there are far fewer enemies with projectile weapons than there are enemies with physical attacks, the bulletproof vest comes in handy during Chapter 4-2 Onwards. The other major drawback is that it takes up a slot in the inventory, further reducing the limited carrying capacity. It can be worn at the same time as the melee vest. When wearing the bulletproof vest, it is only visible to Chris and Sheva's BSAA uniforms and will not show on their alternate costumes. Other characters such as Rebecca Chambers can also be seen wearing bulletproof vests.
