This is an absolutely ridiculously overpowered vest, even when you put ticker charges into account.

First of all, all the ingredients to craft the vest is insanely easy to obtain (with the exception of the Galedrial), since the charged brute's club can be stolen from somebody else. While it does say you need to kill it, it did not exactly specify if it can be stolen or not. Literally a normal human person can nick the charged brute corpse and get away with it before the killer can get their 'reward'. Elemental essence is. depending on the server and map. also far too easy to get. Simply put, you set yourself on fire by walking up to an elemental, and then walk into the closest electric elemental. Rinse and repeat 7 times on either a boss or foxriver VIP server, and you're done. At least you're forced to repeat this step if you want to get another god vest.

Second of all, the stats pretty much make survivors near-immortal. SCAR-H users would be raining in extra ammo while they fly up high into the skies with their jetpacks and RPGs, raining down on the zombies with little-to-no punishment or consequences. Really, the only threat that's posed to the god vest survivors are leapers, tickers and edgars. But then again, how the hell would you even kill a survivor with this vest without the help of a brute, ticker chargers or a really good edgar sniper?

Third of all, this vest is available in FFA. To be fair, survivors die fairly quickly even with armor, but that's because the current vests in the game only give +100 health. With this vest, you're literally immune to flamethrowers, the Ice Staff, and could probably even survive a blast with the DB Shotgun if one has the two-shot attachment equipped, which would normally destroy a Bulldozer II close range. Coupled with the fact that the FFA gamemode automatically gives people 150 more health on spawn, that's a 'whopping 500 health on spawn, and 510 health if a person using god vests is in the R2DA group. 'Very few weapons can surpass 500 health DPS wise, such as the Skorpion, M249. M134 Minigun, and the CK Swat, so I guess that the god vest is slightly balanced in terms of gunplay in FFA, but that's only if the opponent is either very good in combat or has simply picked a weapon that can kill a god vest user under one magazine.

Third point continuation: You're pretty much immortal in boss fights.

Final point: you're given three extra items. A parachute, a splush, and a random item that could be an 'explosive item or healing item. 'The god vest

CONCLUSIONS: While I could give credit to the fact that the god vest is difficult to stock up on, once using it you've pretty much conquered the game. At least you've considered the crafting aspect. The defense mode feels pretty situational and useless, though.

SCORE: 4.5/10
