Overview
The Body Armor is a piece of defensive gear the GTA series has carried for years. In the real world it is modelled on ballistic vests, and that basis — together with its track record across past GTA games — is the dependable part of this page.
Everything Rockstar has not confirmed is labelled as expectation, not fact.
What It Does

No. Rockstar has not shown it in any trailer, screenshot or leak. Its inclusion is an expectation based on GTA history, not a confirmed fact.
What are the Body Armor's stats in GTA 6?
Unknown. Rockstar has not published damage, fire rate, capacity, range or any other numbers for GTA 6 weapons. Any site quoting exact figures is guessing.
What is the Body Armor based on?
It is modelled on wearable ballistic body armor. That real-world basis is the reliable part — the in-game performance is not yet known.
How much does the Body Armor cost or how do you get it?
Not confirmed. No GTA 6 price, shop, spawn point or unlock has been announced, so this page does not list one.
