The Bandit Jacket is the standard clothing of rookie Bandits and Renegades.

OverviewEdit

The jacket consists of a black leather anorak with kevlar patches sewn into it and blue tracksuit pants (apparently from a fake Adidas tracksuit) 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 bandit jacket does not provide much protection and is just marginally more useful than the Leather jacket.

AppearancesEdit

Shadow of Chernobyl Edit

The Bandit Jacket is only marginally better than the Leather Jacket with an extra 5% protection to knife wounds and bullets. A Bandit Jacket can be found at the Bandit's main base in the Dark Valley, in the armory, which is inside the basement. One may also be found in a train car outside of the depot in the Garbage, and another can be found in Strelok's hiding place. Yet another one lays out in the open in the Garbage, in a boxcar outside the depot. The Mail Jacket is actually the first one that can be acquired by the player.A secret stash in the Garbage may also contain this suit.

A standard bandit jacket can be found in the buildings on the opposite side of the Abandoned Car Park and two can be found in a stash near the heaviliy irradiated derailed train in the Cordon's edge opposite to Nimble's cache. All, as can be expected, are in top notch condition and the two in the train stash seem to have above-average durability.

Unique variants Edit

Mail Jacket

Clear Sky Edit

In Clear Sky, it has the same stats and upgrades of that of the basic Leather Jacket, save for 2 built-in artifact containers by default. It is sold by Sidorovich and Tooth, and most technicians can upgrade it. It doesn't really see much use as by the time you get this far, you can have a CS-3a Body Armor which outclasses it hands down.

In the version 10 patch, the Bandit Jacket no longer comes with containers by default.
