Utility Vests make a world of difference

The above video is a perfect example of why players need utility vests, particularly in daring heist missions. One teammate accidentally took a rocket launcher head on, yet they still managed to endure the blow. Heists will automatically fail if a team loses enough lives, which is why survival is a basic necessity.

Heavy utility vests make GTA Online so much easier. Whenever players start up a heist, their main goal is to finish it as soon as possible. In that regard, extra protection will ensure they don't get wasted.

Players should always consider using the utility vest in difficult missions, as there's always a chance it can save their life. It's even better if they can also get a bulletproof helmet. These accessories can be found wherever players buy their regular clothes.
