Warzone Heavy Armor Public Event Explained

The start of a Heavy Armor public event is revealed when players start dropping into the match. When active, it provides additional protection in the form of an extra armour plate available throughout the entirety of the match. Here's the full list of how the extra plate changes gameplay:

• Armour health is increased from 150 to 200 hit points
• The extra plate appears regardless of which vest is selected
• The additional plate is available when a match begins
• The public event doesn't affect players using the Tempered Plate Carrier which will have three plates
• Extra armour means a higher time to kill and requires more ammo to secure the kill
