Plate carrier vests have become incredibly popular in DMZ, offering players a range of additional options and benefits beyond just armour bonuses.
The plate carrier vests were introduced at the beginning of season three, allowing you to maximise your armour plates and still have space in your backpack for other items.
The Tempered Plate Carrier Vest offers a unique design with two spacious slots for armour plates, which still provide the same level of protection as a traditional three-plate carrier.
For instance, if you have six plates available, you can easily replenish full armour three times instead of just two.
Is there a way to acquire the Tempered Plate Carrier vest without purchasing it directly from a buy station?
Let’s explore the options.
Tempered Plate Carrier in DMZ Warzone 2

A number of new plate carriers have been introduced in Season 3, one of which is the Tempered Plate Carrier.
To be more specific, this one makes it simpler to reach full armour.
Generally speaking, in order to reach the maximum, you will need to place three armour plates on your person if you are currently at zero.
The three armour plates are reduced to just two when the Tempered Plate Carrier is installed in the vehicle.
In place of three plates, each of which is worth fifty armour, you will only need to install two plates, which will result in each plate having seventy-five armour.
However, the quantity of armour it provides is the same, but it takes less time to obtain it.
Where Can I Find and Acquire a Tempered Plate Carrier Vest?

Players are able to enhance their armoured plate capacity using Tempered Vests by utilising only two slots rather than three slots because of this ability.
The protection that you receive by wearing two armoured plates in conjunction with a Tempered Vest is comparable to that which you would receive from wearing three armoured vests.
As a result of its scarcity, this item is extremely desirable, which results in a high level of profitability.
In order to get the Tempered Vest, there are two different methods available.
The first method entails completing the barter formula for the vest at a Buy Station.
The Pyro Commander can also be defeated through another method.
Recipe For The Tempered Vest Available For Barter

Getting a Tempered Vest is a breeze with the new barter system. The recipe for the Tempered Vest requires bartering for the following items:
- 2x Documents
- 1x Sensitive Document
- 1x Classified Document
Once you’ve gathered all of these items, the Tempered Vest will be available for purchase at the buy station.
Conquering The Pyro Commander

Another option to obtain the Tempered Vest is by defeating the Pyro Commander, saving you the trouble of searching for the items.
This formidable adversary will demand considerable skill and unwavering dedication to overcome.
The Pyro Commander has the ability to appear in any of the three locations:
- The Control Tower at Al-Mazrah Airport
- The Embassy at Al Mazrah City
- The Post Office at Al Mazrah City
When you manage to defeat the Pyro Commander, you’ll be rewarded with the Tempered Vest as a drop.
How To Clear A Stronghold?

Clearing a Stronghold can be quite challenging. These areas have a locked entrance and are populated with AI enemies who are eager to defeat you before you can acquire any valuable items.
Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when trying to clear one:
- Choose a more compact Stronghold to target and scout for any accessible windows or openings to take out adversaries before entering.
- When working together as a team, it’s effective to designate one member to divert the enemies’ attention, allowing the others to strategically attack from the sides and back.
- When playing alone, it’s a good strategy to target the feet of Riot Shield enemies. This is because their shields will naturally rise as they get closer to you, giving you an opportunity to deal damage effectively.
- Stay alert and keep an eye out for laser tripwires that can cause significant harm. However, you can deactivate them by interacting with them.
