- Vulnerable to Energy weapons: This vest cannot block concussion, electrical or sonic damage.
- Vulnerble to blunt force trauma: This vest does not absorb blunt force trauma very well. A bullet or axe might not pierce, but it'll still leave a nasty bruise, depending on the velocity.
Nathan's vest was the result of hard work and dedication. Over the years of hunting Pirates he decided he needed an armor that could stand up to almost anything, yet still handle well and have good mobility. So he settled on an ancient plate carrier vest design.
The design was simple enough. Using Beskar he acquired from a raid on a Pirate vessel he commissioned to have the plates made. Then he wove the vest himself, using a mix of armor weave impregnated with Cortosis and scrap cloth.
The vest itself had webbing sewn into the outside, enabling it to carry multiple pouches, and attachments. The plates slide into the vest on the inside, protecting the front, back and lower sides.
All in all a versatile yet easily removable armor.
