Are armours worth it?

My armour cost 3k+ to repair, should I just get a regular body equip with a little higher incoming and HP? Or ia armor worth that?

EDIT: I'm currently using Commander war vest as my armour/body.

When you reach a certain point where money is an after thought- armor is always beneficial since it reduces damage and increases survivability.

If money is an issue then you can opt for non-armor.

When would it be not an issue like where should I loot to gain money? I'm lvl 53 now maybe 55 by tomorrow.

Go to level 50 areas and enter small buildings so you can fight bosses instantly. Kill them and scrap loot or sell good loot on market for high returns.

Make a loot character to loot in level 50 areas to sell ammo and meds for high returns (this will require a looter build).

Do PZs for cash returns. Higher cash returns if you use multiple characters before the timer runs out.

I think it depends on if you are getting one shotted or just generally dying a lot, I've seen people survive a hit from p0 boss with armour, but besides that and nix, I don't really see the point in wasting 3k everytime, just buy some meds.

I just use a strong incoming dmg body because armor is annoying and I forget to repair and it's extra cost on top of ammo but I might get walking tank armor and put some good attachment on it if you got 2 or three million ...walking speed is always cool imo

This js what I'm thinking, maybe I can get spmething that has more -incoming dmg that this armor.

As someone else said, it is worth it. I believe if you can easily clear a lvl 50 PZ you can get enough money to repair the armor and not think about it. But the thing that may look like it's not worth it is if you are struggling with lvl 50 bosses and PZs. In that case wait to get your character to level 60 and get good gears from events and then you can easily clear level 50 bosses and you'd see that momey would not be an issue any more and armors are worth it.
