Tell me how the helmet and body armor work?

[Venera]

I see how the enemy hits you and not just once, then you open your inventory and you have 100 helmet armor and 100 vest armor, how does it work?

Well armor pen is important I`d say a 4pen 110hp helmet is better then a 2pen 130hp helmet because it will protect you from more damage when it matters. You can take damage with both a helmet and body armor if you get hit in the arms or legs. Not 100% sure about other areas like the neck I`ve never taken a look at the hit boxes.

Hello! I mean that the enemy will hit you with shots, but sometimes the armor durability of the helmet and body does not decrease, it is still 100% intact! Any idea why this is?

If they hit you and you take damage but the armor doesn`t then they hit you in a spot the armor doesn`t cover like the arms or legs.

Aside that you're being hit on the arms or legs, it's most likely the suppressing fire visual effect that makes you think that you're getting hit also. The difference between a hit and suppressing can be hard to see while in thw action sometimes... especially if you're new to the game.

Some extra info about the armor system can be found on the official Youtube, where the devs demonstate how works the penetration system.
