Kevlar Body Armor

The Kevlar Body Armor is a piece of equipment that can usually be bought before the start of a mission in Hitman: Codename 47. It adds greatly to Agent 47's resistance against gunshots, making him far more durable in gunfights. Additionally, they can sometimes be picked up on the ground during missions. Unlike in other games in the series, in Hitman: Codename 47 body armor degrades as it takes damage, and has a separate durability meter next to Agent 47's heatlh meter.
