So You Want to Be a Walking Brick Wall in GTA 6: A (Mostly) Foolproof Guide to Equipping Armor
Listen up, fledgling criminals and casual chaos enthusiasts, because it's time to talk about the difference between a bullet sponge and a bloody stain on the pavement. I'm here to guide you through the glorious, slightly-confusing world of armor in GTA 6, because let's face it, even a baddie deserves a bit of padding between them and a hail of lead.
Step 1: Don't Be a Doofus - Acquisition 101
Forget those days of rummaging through convenience store freezers for flimsy body vests. GTA 6 takes things up a notch (or five). Armor options are as diverse as the neon lights of Vice City, ranging from tactical vests woven from spider silk to exoskeletons that make you look like a rejected Iron Man prototype.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
- Shop 'til You Drop: Ammu-Nation ain't dead, baby! Hit up your local gun dealer for the classics – Kevlar, ceramic plates, the whole nine yards. Just remember, the fancier the vest, the bigger the dent in your wallet.
- Scrounge Like a Scavenger: Keep your eyes peeled for hidden caches and shady back alleys. You might stumble upon some military-grade goodies that'll make you the envy of the entire criminal underground. Pro tip: abandoned military bases are treasure troves.
- Side Hustle Your Way to Safety: Feeling entrepreneurial? Certain side missions and activities reward you with some seriously beefy armor. Just remember, sometimes "escorting" a shady CEO involves more than just holding hands.
Step 2: Suit Up - From Fashion Disaster to Bullet Magnet
Now that you've got your gear, it's time to transform from a fashion nightmare to a walking barricade. But hold your horses, trigger-happy cowboy, because equipping ain't as simple as slapping on a t-shirt.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
- Inventory Shenanigans: The ol' trusty interaction menu is back, baby! Nestled under "Clothing" lies the hidden gem – "Armor." This is where you'll pick your poison, from lightweight Kevlar that lets you waltz through a bullet storm like a ballerina to heavy-duty exoskeletons that make you look like you're auditioning for the next Terminator movie.
- Hotkey Haven: Feeling fancy? Customize your weapon wheel! Drag that shiny new ballistic vest onto a slot, and bam! Instant armor access with a flick of your wrist. Just remember, replacing snacks with bulletproof vests might leave you hungry and lead-filled.
Pro Tip: Think strategically! Different armor types offer different protection. Need to survive a hail of gunfire? Heavy is your friend. Sneaking into a high-security vault? Lightweight Kevlar won't slow you down (but might not stop a stray shotgun blast).

Step 3: Show Me the Goods - Flaunt Your Fortress
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
You've got the gear, you know how to wear it, now it's time to strut your stuff (or, you know, crouch behind cover like a sensible criminal). GTA 6 lets you decide how much of your walking armory you want to show off.
- Full Metal Fashionista: Flaunt your exoskeleton like a chrome-plated peacock! Let the world know you're not just packing heat, you're packing a personal tank. Just remember, looking like a walking weapon might attract unwanted attention (and rockets).
- Undercover Armor: Keep it subtle, James Bond style. Lightweight Kevlar hidden beneath a stylish jacket – you'll be a bullet sponge in disguise, ready to surprise those fools who underestimate your sartorial savvy (and survivability).
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.

Bonus Round: Advanced Armor-iffic Tips
- Remember, armor ain't magic: Even the fanciest vest won't make you invincible. Headshots still sting, and explosives will turn you into confetti. Use cover, dodge like a champion, and don't stand in the middle of a gunfight like a target at the carnival.
- Think beyond vests: Helmets! Bulletproof kneepads! Those fancy gas masks that make you look like a cyberpunk ninja! GTA 6 has a surprising amount of protective gear, so mix and match to create your own personal walking fortress.
- Customize your look: Don't let your armor dictate your style! Paint your exoskeleton neon pink, rock that Kevlar vest with a Hawaiian shirt – express yourself, you glorious bullet sponge!
So there you have it, folks! Your crash course on equipping armor in GTA 6. Now go forth, be a walking tank, and remember – even the best armor can't protect you from your own bad decisions (looking at you, Trevor!). Just try not to get turned into Swiss
