Officer Vest

==Summary==
One of the only reasons you'll want to farm ranks is to acquire buying privileges for this here Vest. Arguably the most tanky and overpowered survivability boost available! Though it comes at the cost of your stamina, which is a different conversation to be had. While worn, you gain resistance to Fire and Blast damage, and you receive the largest health boost provided by a vest. The Straw Hat is in a different category.
Down to brass tacks; this vest provides +50 HP, +15% Fire Resistance, +15% Blast Resistance, and a mandatory debuff of -50 Stamina. Meaning you're only left with 50 Stamina out of your default 100. For reference, 50 Stamina does not let you escape from a Smoker Tongue or let you kill a Hunter that's got you pinned. So, keep this in mind while wearing this vest. You may be tanky but it won't save you if you're surrounded by Smokers and Hunters.
==Tips==
*Stay with your group. The Officer Vest is a selfish item, and your gameplan may heavily rely on fellow survivors being able to get off any Smoker or Hunter that's got you pinned.
*Despite how detrimental the Stamina Debuff is, it can be remedied with the Cestus. The Cestus allows you to deal just enough damage when grabbed by a Zombie that you can escape in just one stamina bar. Do not be afraid to pair the two together, most players don't realize how strong of a strategy it is.
