The Bandit jacket is the standard clothing of rookie Bandits and Renegades. It is available to the player in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky.

Overview[]

The jacket consists of a black leather anorak with kevlar patches sewn into it and blue tracksuit pants (apparently from a fake Adidas tracksuit, bandits are Gopnik parodies after all) tucked into white running shoes and a beige hoodie worn underneath. Typically, it's also worn with a backpack made of hemp with extra straps across the chest. The appearance of the Bandit jacket is identical to that of the Leather jacket, the only difference being the colors of the outfit.

The bandit jacket does not provide much protection and is just marginally more useful than the Leather jacket.

Appearances[]

Shadow of Chernobyl[]

Traditional outfit of a bandit - a leather jacket with kevlar elements. Provides protection highly insufficient for the Zone's severe conditions.
― In-game description

The Bandit Jacket is only marginally better than the Leather jacket with an extra 5% protection to knife wounds and bullets.

Acquisition[]

A bandit jacket can be found amongst the wooden crates in the back corner of the barn in the mill. One may also be found in a train car outside of the depot in the Garbage One can be found in Strelok's hiding place.

A Bandit jacket can be found at the Bandits' main base in the Dark Valley, in the armory, which is inside the basement.

It can be found in the following stashes:

Unique variants[]

  • Mail jacket - a unique Bandit jacket found in the Cordon, which has exceptional bullet resistance for the beginning of the game, being just marginally less than that of the Sunrise suit.

Clear Sky[]

Traditional bandit clothing - a leather jacket with armor pieces sewed in. The protection it provides is completely inadequate for the harsh conditions of the Zone. Does not hold any artifacts by default, but can be upgraded to hold one artifact.
― In-game description

In Clear Sky, it has the same stats and upgrades of that of the basic Leather Jacket, although it can only receive a single artifact container instead of two for the leather jacket.

Acquisition[]

The Bandit jacket is sold by Sidorovich and Tooth.
