Tickers will still do a massive amount of damage (they can insta-kill Bulldozer IIs, they will bring you down to ~20 HP), Brute clubs will still do massive damage (~60 HP damage), propane tanks and grenades will still do massive damage...

I see no point using this over any other high tier vest or even the Fire Vest.

We don't have a explosive primary in this game. It's not supposed to be saving you from insta-kill rockets, it's supposed to be saving you from devastating explosions. A brute club's close-range AOE will deal around 50 dmg, this will lower it to 25. Point of this vest is to be a low rank vest that acts as a meat shield for explosive damage.

Also, ticker tanks bringing you down to 20 HP and not insta kill you is how it will work.
