Soft body armor will cover the armpit hitboxes.

Showcase bugcatrainbow

Overview

In SPT 3.9, the armpit hitboxes are covered by insertable ballistic front plates but they are not covered by unremovable soft armor. This matters for players in early-game that are using rigs with only soft armor like the rat rig and find themselves getting one-tapped in the thorax via a low-pen bullet into the armpit.


This mod expands the hitboxes in the front soft armor for all body armor/chest rigs to cover the armpit hitboxes. As a result, the armpit is now protected by the armor class of the soft front chest insert.


In addition to this, if a body armor/chest rig does not have any soft side protection like the 6B2 body armor, the front soft armor will also cover the hitboxes on the lower left and lower right sides of the thorax. Buffs to all soft armor-only vest and rigs!

Install

Extract directly into the SPT folder. The mod can be located in users/mods/.

Background

I made this mod due to finding early-wipe gameplay extremely captivating except for occasionally getting one-tapped in the armpit by ammo run by scavs and low-level PMCs. Although insertable plates protect the armpits in the current version of SPT, it can take a while before a player can upgrade to those rigs reliably if they are doing something like a FM-less run. kanapoker

  • Hey, can you possibly make a mod that makes armors cover legs and arms? If not that's cool. Fin used to do this with armors, this mod is also sweet anyways and i'll use it. Keep up the good work!

  • Remove neck hitbox when?

    • I know it might not be everyone's cup of tea but an earlier mod I made, Full Helmet Protection, adds throat+neck hitboxes to helmets. For me at least, it feels like a fun and fair way to balance helmets while removing more unfair deaths to lower-geared bots

    • So helmets cover the neck hitbox? For example you wear an Altyn, you'll get class 5 protection on your neck? Sounds great if that's the case.

    • Yep that mod updates all helmets' armor zones, and it can be a real difficulty bump if you're used to popping bots in the heads with 9x19mm. Also if you and your bots are both high-level, then most helmets won't really do anything different except protect you against scavs using low-level calibers (just like live tarkov) since endgame rounds pen armor classes 1-5 pretty well

      Mostly it's a mod that serves as a way to make most helmets useful in SPT throughout earlygame-midgame since I got tired of bots literally never hitting the top of my head unless I'm proning :thumbup:

  • mfs will drops mod covers with no artist source smh

  • Hi, is this mod compatible with MAPE {make armor plate effective) mod?

    • Took a look at MAPE's code and this mod is compatible but unnecessary; MAPE is configured to set all armor to cover the armpit areas ^^.
