Ghosts In Depth - Ballistic Vests (Testing & Stats)

oL0RDo: / ol0rdo
More info: bit.ly/1gETrKw
The Ballistic Vests support streak is back in Call of Duty Ghosts. How much health do they give you? What do they protect you from? How do you counter act enemies with vests? This In Depth shows you all the stats, dog testing, armor piercing testing, and headshot testing.

360 quick-dog. That is awesome!

[@lughfiregod16]

"360 quick dog me" I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

[@VorpalDerringer]

I liked "little sweater vests" more.

[@lughfiregod16]

That was pretty good too, but I've heard him say it before. :p

[@retiredcodnerd]

Ballistic Vests are OP as shit. Good to know that they dont protect against headshots though, great video

[@ChrisJamesFilms]

More youtube comments should be like this

[@SpectreTheHorseman]

lmao OP? wow, really?

[@tomitofazzio]

they are countered by armor-piercing so... no, they're not

[@retiredcodnerd]

tomitofazzio having a counter doesn not mean it cant be op. Take MW2 noob tubes for example

[@ehkoin]

tomitofazzio And they counter one shot weapons, and you have to earn them

[@benJ432]

i love the "knowledge is power" quote at the start, i know that butterflys taste with their feet and that the average human blinks 10,000,000 times a year, can i be supreme world leader now.

[@jinjibones3618]

no

[@benJ432]

aw worth a shot.

[@MrTEN5E]

wtf was with the ending Drift0r XD

[@daydreamervids]

It was so unexpected XD

[@Bluebird22200]

You forgot to include vests effectiveness against killstreaks!

[@erickhoch3359]

Everyone, at the end of the video, stick around for the final seconds. There's... an extra. A very "special" extra.

[@shadow_walkerOZ]

I normally play hardcore modes so always thought the ballistic vests were mostly redundant in hardcore. despite my reservations, decided to pick one up and the amount of bullets I was able to absorb almost tricked me into thinking I was back on black ops 2 playing some core game mode. Needless to say after that I started using them in my support streaks and then, after I got jumped by a dog while wearing one and survived, they are now a permanent addition to all of my classes.

[@MaxPainAlchmst]

Hey Driftor, I really hope you read this ! when this series is over, or when you're finished with a certain weapon type like AR's, I would really wish you would do a final episode rating the weapons you reviewed cause after a couple of weeks it's hard to try to remember specific numbers like damage and rate of fire. for example you could say that this gun has the best range, this gun has the highest rate of fire, this would be a helpful summary for all the reviews you did.

[@My_Sanity]

I don't mean to be mean (that is a decent idea), but you could always just write these sorta stats down on a notepad or sheet of paper for you to review. You could just jot down a guns damage, range, RoF and any quirks Drift0r points out while or after watching the video. If that's just too much work well... I understand xD

[@OoMikkioO]

Good video! And I loved the bonus at the end! XD

[@Zorkoso]

Can't wait to watch it to the end...

[@loodfan]

If the CBJ-MS has armour piercing rounds built in will it penetrate the vests as normal? or will it still take extra shots?

[@fittestofsurvival5498]

Also want to know this

[@fearlessgaming9119]

Drift0r did you test this?

[@dihydrogenoxide5109]

As he said, ballistic vests will not protect from armour piercing rounds. So the CBJ would be a perfect counter to ballistic vests.

[@LaClippersFan310]

Thanks Driftor! You always make the most helpful videos!

[@DarkShadowHawk720]

ballistic vests also heal juggernauts to full health. weird but it does, i tried for fun and actually happened

[@iMc404]

Great tip on armour piercing rounds, personally didn't feel ballistics were as strong as mw3 but now knowing the details & the fact it takes 3 bites from fido will reconsider & give them another go, or at least have a class setup that includes them, thanks as always!

[@ThePookieHD]

Interesting episode drif0r :) Keep up the good work , we love you

[@alexthomas1025]

thanks for doing the ballistic vest! great video and i think you should do the dog killstreak. keep up the great work!

[@timvdoever]

Hey everyone, I see a lot of you still have questions regarding the mechanics behind the ballistic vests. I am the guy that did all the testing for the ballistic vests. Thanks to Drift0r for citing my topic in the description! You can check that topic or the video on my channel for some more info (such as on hardcore). These vests really are too complicated to explain in such a short video, if you want detailed examples check the "More info:" link or ask in a comment on my video and I'll try to answer you. One final note, the thing mentioned where vests would only absorb half the health is an urban myth derived from the armour mechanics in Quake 3. Since Call of Duty is still entirely built on the same idTech 3 engine people could be lead to think protection works similar here but it does not. Back in Quake 3 armour absorbed 67% of the damage, and 33% would go to your health. Just a small piece of trivia!

[@sasinator6918]

i love your dry sense of humour drift0r you say something funny with a straight face

[@ghoughto3]

Great video Driftor, I will be using these more just to avoid dying from peoples dogs. In MW3 my friends and I played HC TDM and we all ran BV. One round on Lockdown I went 34-0 and got a MOAB all because I kept putting on ballistic vests dropped by myself or my team mates. It just worked out that everytime my vest wore out I was able to slap on another one. They are even more OP in this game, but with AP rounds it evens that out.

[@cl8473]

Great vid man! I did not know that they protect you from dogs! I was going to suggest doing one on ammo crates. I learned the best way to get XP with ammo crates is when you get them, throw them at a group of teammates as it gives the teammates ammo and you extra XP!

[@BackpackBanjo]

Excellent video Drift0r! I wouldn't have known you were having any health issues if you hadn't told us.

[@1234567890qw1000]

cod ghosts needs to be like 20 v 20

[@grantplunkett8410]

well I'm not saying its better but Battlefield 4 for next-gen has teams of 32... enjoy

[@nextstep6410]

ikr ur like the only human in this planet that agrees jeez but old comment lol

[@VileSelf]

Awesome episode dude.

[@NavysealMr]

Loved the end

[@viviciuszn]

LOL that ending XD

[@RubyDragonStar04]

That blooper reel made my day. Thanks Drift0r. XD

[@TheRealKilla36]

Very indepth!! Well done!

[@MrMuschiato]

I haven't Ghosts (I have MW3) but I watch your video...great job man!

[@christiancaballero2362]

Thanks driftor this really helped !

[@TheSUPERCOMPUTERGUY]

Thanks for the ied tip they werent op enough

[@alexbyrne5086]

Much in depth, such skill, so protection

[@giorgosathanasiou6260]

doge

[@dashingsonic15]

The ending was hilarious! xD

[@jpd1967jd]

Wow. Game changer. I've picked up vests a few times, but thought that they were only good for explosions. I won't run past one again.

[@MerkRampage]

Intresting, thanks Drift0r

[@OnlyZunkin]

This is an amazingly powerful streak. Giving you and 3 other teammates essentially the ability to take enough damage to kill a person 2 times over and still have half of your hp left over is crazy effective. At long distances you are talking almost a dozen bullets to kill most people with an average automatic weapon.

[@dennysiliezar3323]

Ur videos really help

[@drkshadeofgray1670]

Thanks that help a lot I'm sick of getting killed by dogs. Driftor u the man. Keep up the good work bro.

[@julianserna9758]

I love the Ending!!!!

[@VioletGiraffe]

Vest - Night Owl - Squadmate is my fav killstreak combo for now.

[@hashiramasenju3246]

Dear drift0r, when you finish ghosts in depth, if possible could you do a Bo2 zombies in depth? Your statistical data has always been extremely useful and helpful and very enjoyable for me to watch and im a big zombies fanatic. Regardless of if you ever read this or make a bo2 zombies in depth, thank you for consistently putting out fun and interesting content

[@sugarbear1225]

Great info

[@verytallmidget]

I only play as support and I use Vests, Shield Teammate, and Oracle. The AI shield member is easily the BEST support streak for domination! If you call in a shield guy while capping a flag, it makes the cap go faster! Not to mention that other players will tend to focus on him while you hose them down or escape.

[@JustinSTeam2]

They are awesome

[@joycourier]

You should do an In-Depth on the Thermobaric tactical equipment, I've never used it OR seen it used.

[@crashmaster27]

I suggested a while back he do killstreaks and he did one! But I guess it doesn't count cause it is ballistic vests. Whatever, awesome vid, keep it up and hope you get better.

[@riotcontrol21]

Always wondered about ballistic vests in mw2 and now ghost...thxs

[@Wi1qi]

there was no ballistic vests in mw2

[@riotcontrol21]

i meant mw3* sry ipod touch keyboard :/

[@VKSgtSLaughter]

Great video. Thanks brother! - Semper Fi

[@TheMichiganBoss]

When you do the R5, try it with a tracker sight and silencer. It's a straight up laser.

[@nickmoen7485]

hey drift0r, i hope you're feeling somewhat better and i was just wondering if you'd ever do a video about sensitivity and how it helps or doesn't help you play?

[@Ace5004]

Hey, Drift0r! Will you be doing a video on the "Automatic Fire" attachment for the MSBS? The only thing I can find was one article stating that it adds 10% deduction in range and .9 damage modifiers for the body except for the head. I have no idea if any of this is true or not and I was just hoping you'd make a video showing that unique attachment like you did the others. Thanks :D

[@TheBlackOpsHawk]

Would love a follow up on Hardcore use of vests.

[@Bluebird22200]

Please do a video on spawn protection from killstreaks. It takes a good 6-9 seconds shooting someone directly with the helo copter to kill them after they spawn... Also note spawn protection also works against juggernauts...

[@CarmenFiala]

And thank goodness it does.

[@iamcamski]

That's because the spawns suck dick in this game, and people need a chance to survive.

[@CarmenFiala]

Even if the spawns were good, a helicopter would still lock on and kill players near immediately, like in the old games. I'm glad they finally implemented some kind of good spawn protection.

[@jamesfranco9484]

you seem to have spawn protection from everything but guns.. it was good when you had a fighting chance back in mw3 for like atleast 5 seconds

[@TheTman9898]

That ending!

[@jeremyeavey9908]

The Remington is spelled a bit off, didn't see it in the comments below. Great vid by the way! Definitely will use the vests.

[@SanguineSaint21]

Keep up the great vids.

[@miketgl4543]

One of my favourite perks. Throw em' down, here we are boys, chuck em on, keep warm.

[@nikolai43v3r]

Best support streaks in my opinion are Balistic Vest, Squad Teammate, & Oracle they help out a lot

[@ruzgarakgul2051]

Original Name squadmate is best in dom,he counts as another player while capping a flag

[@mega2codnoob]

Seems overpowered!

[@Xvic333]

Haha that "sound check" at the end :p

[@SPARTANoh11]

IEDs are so indecisive, like I'm hit marker you today cuz i feelz like it.

[@Treblaine]

7:00 RemingTONG lol I love it, that's a way better name for it.

[@PhoenixChemistry]

YOU FRIGGIN SPOLED IT!

[@r.n501]

I have a story! I was wearing my ballistic vest on mw3 on Bakaara. I went up into that two story building that looks down onto the helicopter. I had my P99 with my tactical knife out in order to breach the upstairs room. This guy stuck me with a semtex wright when I stabbed him. I continued into the room. and turned toward the balcony. unfortunately for him he had a tac insert and he spawned, then the semtex blew up and killed him. Thanks to the mighty vest I was still standing. COD logic is fun sometimes.

[@cuylarHD]

leaving out hardcore mode benefits..... so complete of you...

[@caseyedmunds235]

Canister bombs, IMS, RPG's, redo IED's on how many kill you with ballistic vests, enemy kill streaks like a hind, helo scout, and Loki, also include minigun, trinity rocket and MAAWS missile launcher. (I think that is how you spell it). All of these are kinda important to know for when you have ballistic vests.

[@matttheboiiya7192]

Hey Drift0r this is an old video and an older game but I had a question about ballistic vests. One time I was playing strike zone and a friendly teammate called in a kem strike and my team had vests deployed. As I was picking one up the nuke went off during the little timer bar to get a vest, and I stayed on the "old" strikezone instead of going to the new destroyed one, can this be replicated?? Idk if you look at these or even still have this game but it would be an interesting topic

[@JimmyDean59]

The Honey Badger is crazy, it would tear up the vest. It’s OP, high rate of fire + great damage, yeah.

[@bryanos118]

Hehe, ballistic vests are my favorite, and drift0r made this video on my birthday.

[@evanrgray]

Hahaha! That ending was awesome! (watch past the outro!) Also, does the CBJ-MS's Tungsten Rounds counter Ballistic Vests (basically, are they true armor piercing rounds)?

[@crazyryan016]

Great outro

[@IronMooRe]

I was kind of hoping you would talk about its effects in hardcore. Does it still give an extra 150 points of "health"? If true you would go from 30 hp to 180 hp... Thats quite a boost....Love your vids man.

[@ProCounterStriker]

LOL the end made me laugh so much

[@ksighost1158]

Cool intro Drift0r

[@rnbspowa7of69]

Jessica must love you! Its time to Ice your back Drifter!

[@zityarrowz3440]

Drift0r Youre the best!!!

[@LoneCastaway]

hey drift0r i think you should do a video on how exactly satcoms work in this game. it seems like most people don't know that a single satcom has a limited radius. i don't know in what form, but i'm sure a lot of players would appreciate this information.

[@My_Sanity]

The SatComs are pretty simple. If you have one down then any enemy on any allies screen shows up on the radar, that's the "Eyes on" thing they talk about. Add one more SatCom and it just turns into a normal UAV from previous games. I'm pretty sure you only need 4 down to get the AUAV effect (shows enemy arrows on minimap).

[@taylormedeiros7993]

Drift0r should make more ghost story videos! I'm addicted!

[@Kyoju252]

The K7 is awesome!

[@jblay1991]

I love them sweater vests!!

[@Iuizgustavo]

ballistic vest is insane overpowered in this game

[@omgitsq8509]

I really like the ballistic vests

[@SirVyval]

I think a lot of people didn't watch it all the way to the end. That was hilarious and random.

[@SwoopingBird1]

that ending made the video get added to my favorites

[@JMS407]

Driftor, already traded in Ghosts but still enjoy your videos.

[@frederis]

Good job on the commentary.

[@hodoprime]

Ground jammer is pretty good too.

[@b33croft]

My RTC episode 27 uploaded today, take a peek! Cheers

[@hybridclan2340]

Hope you're feeling better Drift0r.

[@Wyndextor]

Hearing about the ballistic vest armor increase I am now interested in how much each of the juggernauts are granted.

[@K1llMongerz]

3:03 Family Jewelz Shot!

[@Oceanmanta]

Love these against dogs

[@KyoCarnage]

Squad mate is probably the best. Walking objective capping riot shield that engage players

[@XKietseroX]

FMJ/armor piercing/impact actually has some worth now past being a "pro" with an FMJ bolt action sniper. Finally

[@SvelterEagle]

The vest is the best!

[@judgesh]

YES! R5 FINALLY

[@lukehammond3913]

Good vid

[@RogueGhost24]

I have noticed that many of the better players are all about these which is why I use things like deadeye, armor piercing, muzzle break, chrome lined, etc. on just about every single class. In a way my reasoning is similar to players who use incog: You never know who might have gotten away B-)

[@xShadeAssassin]

You should do an episode on Tracker Site Iron Site's accuracy vs Grip

[@theminecraftman3729]

when he said "your not protected from being stabbed" i fell off my chair,rolled on the floor for 3 hours and pooped my pants 7 times

[@Ironforce92]

Do the support squadmate plz
