Protection Types#

Bio Protection#

Biological protection against diseases and infections. Displayed as a percentage.

• Read from CfgVehicles Protection biological
• Higher values provide better protection against biological agents
• Shown as a progress bar with color coding (green = good, red = poor)

Shock Protection#

Protection against shock damage from projectiles. Displayed as a percentage.

• Calculated from DamageSystem GlobalArmor Projectile Shock damage
• Formula: (1 - damageValue) × 100
• Only shown if the value is between 0 and 1 (valid protection range)
• Shown as a progress bar

Knife Protection#

Protection against melee/knife damage. Displayed as a percentage.

• Calculated from DamageSystem GlobalArmor Melee Health damage
• Formula: (1 - damageValue) × 100
• Higher values mean better protection against melee attacks
• Shown as a progress bar

Explosion Protection#

Protection against explosion damage (grenades, etc.). Displayed as a percentage.

• Calculated from DamageSystem GlobalArmor FragGrenade Health damage
• Formula: (1 - damageValue) × 100
• Shown as a progress bar

Armor Projectile#

Protection against projectile damage (bullets) with a breakdown of Health, Blood, and Shock protection.

• Read from DamageSystem GlobalArmor Projectile [Health/Blood/Shock] damage
• Each component (Health, Blood, Shock) is displayed separately
• Formula for each: (1 - damageValue) × 100
• Only shown if all values are valid (≤ 1.0)
• Displayed as: Health% / Blood% / Shock%

Example: "Armor Projectile: 85% / 90% / 75%" means 85% health protection, 90% blood protection, and 75% shock protection.

Armor Infected#

Protection against infected (zombie) damage with Health, Blood, and Shock breakdown.

• Read from DamageSystem GlobalArmor Infected [Health/Blood/Shock] damage
• Same format as Armor Projectile
• Shows protection against zombie attacks

Weapon vs Armor Damage#

If you have a weapon in your hands while viewing armor, the tooltip will calculate and display:

• "vs Weapon" - Shows the weapon name and its calculated damage
• "Damage" - Shows how much damage the weapon will deal to you through this armor
• Formula: weaponDamage × armorProjectileHealth
• Only shown if ShowArmorDamage is enabled in config

Note: The calculation uses your best armor piece (lowest damage multiplier) if you have multiple armor pieces equipped.

Understanding Protection Values#

Damage Multipliers#

DayZ uses damage multipliers in the config files. The tooltip converts these to protection percentages:

• Damage multiplier 0.1 = 90% protection (10% damage gets through)
• Damage multiplier 0.5 = 50% protection (50% damage gets through)
• Damage multiplier 1.0 = 0% protection (100% damage gets through)

The formula used: Protection% = (1 - damageMultiplier) × 100

Progress Bar Colors#

Protection values are displayed as progress bars with color coding:

• Green (100%) - Maximum protection
• Yellow (50%) - Moderate protection
• Red (0%) - No protection

The color gradient helps you quickly identify the protection level at a glance.

Best Armor Calculation#

When calculating weapon vs armor damage, the tooltip checks all equipped clothing slots:

• Headgear, Mask, Eyewear, Gloves, Armband
• Body, Hips, Vest, Back
• Legs, Feet

It selects the piece with the best protection (lowest damage multiplier) for the calculation, giving you the most optimistic damage estimate.
