Armor specifications for Swamp 3.4

The armor available in Swamp is divided into 5 classes of protection and divided over six boddy parts. First, all armor pieces along with the class they belong to and possible side effects, will be listed below. Then you will get an explanation of the protection system. After that, we will discuss the location of all available pieces of armor. And, to conclude this file, I will explain all the special armor available.

List of all armor pieces
(For this list, I will folow the list of body parts as seen in the game. If the class of a piece of armor is none, it means that this particular piece is considered special armor and will be discussed at the end of this file.)

Now that we know all the available pieces of armor, we will take a closer look at how the protection system works. Every bodypart is responsible for a certain amount of protection of the entire body, and how much protection every part provides is below:
Chest armor: 25% 
Head armor: 15% 
Leg armor: 20% 
Shoulder armor: 16% 
Foot armor: 12% 
Waist armor: 12% 

Armor does not only come in several pieces, each peace belongs to a class too. There are five different protection classes, and an armor class wich can perform special functions. Not all classes can cover your entire boddy, and some classes will slow you down more than others. Generally speaking, the higher the class, the higher protection, but the slower you will run. To better understand this, let's assume one hit of a zombie would reduce your health by 10 points. Let's also assume that for every class, all bodyparts could be covered, and that no armor skill has been raised. The classes and their protection are thus:
Very low: 20-25%: you lose a maximum of 7.5% health 
Low: 35-40%: you lose a maximum of 6% health 
Medium: 50-55%: you lose a maximum of 4.5% health 
Widely varying: 20-70%: you can lose between 2% and 8% health 
High: 65-70%: you lose a maximum of 3% health 

The sixth armor class is the "special functions" class. These armor pieces allow you to reload certain weapons faster or to swim through brush kreek and the lake just like the zombies can. This special armor does not offer any protection, so consider what pieces to put on so that you don't lose too much protection.

Now that we know where we can find all the armor, we delve deeper in the functionality of the special armor. Special armor never offers protection, but either decreases the time it takes to fully reload a weapon, or allows you to pass through unpassable terrain (when not wearing the armor). The special armor, and its functions are:
Camo jacket: Lowers the reload time for the Winchester, Marlin, Remington, and the Browning Citori.
Tuxido T-shirt: Lowers the reload times for all pistols.
Overalls: Lowers the reloading time for the Browning Citori.
Camo pants: Lowers the reload time for the Sport Rifles (Winchester, Marlin, and Remington).
Reflective vest: Lowers the reloading time for the Winchester, the Marlin, and the Remington.
Quiver: Makes the shortbow, and the Longbow (in all three modes), load faster.
Bunny slippers: Quietens down your steps as you move around.
Running Shoes: Make you run a little faster.
Running Shorts: When wearing those, you can run a bit faster.
Inflatable sheep: Allows you to cross the deep portions of Brush creek, and Brush Lake.
