Body Armour

Body Armor is the player's secondary life source. It is a bulletproof vest, identical to the one worn by Cover mercenaries, that provides protection from enemy fire and is frequently found near or around Health Packs in enemy camps/outposts. 
Although the Body Armor is a good item to prevent injury, it does not protect the player from falls or high jumps. As the difficulty level increases in the game, the Body Armor will not be able to absorb as much damage, so it is advised for the player to adopt a more strategic approach to an enemy group and stealth tactics. 
The amount of protection it provides is indicated by the orange bar in the bottom-right corner of the game screen. The player can easily refill the bar, even if it's not fully depleted; however, in later levels, Body Armors dropped by dead Elite Mercenaries refill the bar only in small amounts.
It first appears near the exit from the ammo cache in the bunker in Training where Jack is contacted by Doyle for the first time.
