Equipment

Equipment is vital in surviv.io. Currently, there are two types of armor in the game: vests and helmets (with three different levels each). There are also backpacks (which have three different levels, similar to vests and helmets) and scopes (which currently have five different levels).

Equipment types

 * Vests
 * Helmets
 * Backpacks
 * Scopes

Vests
Vests reduce the amount of damage dealt to a person.These are very useful and are useful in all situations when it comes to battling other players.They appear as a colored outline around the player.

Helmets
Helmets also prevent damage. They appear as a smaller colored circle on the player. They only reduce damage from headshots, and might reduce damage from regular hits(untested)

Backpacks
Backpacks increase the capacity of Ammo, Medical Items, Frag and Smoke Grenades you can carry. The type of backpack an opponent has can be determined by its size. Not any one of the 4 backpacks can be dropped.

Scopes
Scopes increase the amount of map the player can view. Scopes stack, meaning you can have every type at once without a backpack. You can also toggle scopes in a close range situation where you would want a 4x scope instead of an 8x one, which makes it makes it easier to aim. 15x scopes can be used mainly to spot enemies from a far distance.
