GTA 3 body armor guide - Where to find body armor and how to use it
GTA 3 body armor is an important part of staying alive on the dangerous streets of Liberty City.
Once you start increasing your wanted level and taking on deadlier jobs, you’ll want to grab some body armor to make life easier for yourself. Fortunately, there’s plenty of it to find scattered across the city and island.
How body armor works in GTA 3
In GTA 3, body armor has a defense value that’s the same as your maximum health. In other words, it essentially doubles your HP, which makes it essential at higher wanted levels and in more difficult side missions. There’s no way to upgrade body armor in GTA 3, so you’ll need to find more should your existing body armor fall apart.
