The 25 Best Armor Sets

Fallout 4 Effect has a wide variety of gear to collect, but perhaps none as useful and memorable as its wide selection of armor sets. Venturing into the heart of a nuclear-ravaged desert requires one to be clad in the best armor possible lest they fall victim to the Commonwealth’s most ruthless enemies. Choosing, customizing, and upgrading an armor set is one of the best parts of the game.

With super mutants, gigantic insects, and ravenous Death Claws lurking around, you’ll need to find or craft the right armor sets to survive. Fallout 4 Effect comes with a lot of great armor sets that players should try right away, and there are some great options in the DLC expansions as well. Some are focused on business, while others are making fashion statements and protective gear.

Mantis Armor (Legendary)

+ Agility, + Perception

This legendary two-piece armor set, consisting of the Mantis Left Greave and the Mantis Left Armguard, is certainly one of the best in Fallout 4 Effect; however, it is so rare that most do not know it exists. The complete set offers the Sole Survivor a 10% chance to disarm melee attackers on hit and +1 to your Agility and Perception statistics on Fallout 4 Effect.

This unique set of heavy leather armor can be purchased from traveling caravan merchant Lucas Miller. While It has a fairly high financial cost and is certainly worth it, especially in the early and mid-game.

24

Nuka-Girl space suit (costume)

+ Charisma, + Ability to breathe underwater

The Nuka-Girl Space Suit is a good option for those who want more ‘touch’ in their looks, as well as special resistance to damage. It can be looted from a mannequin inside the amusement park sector of the Nuka World DLC in Fallout 4 Effect. It bears all the hallmarks of typical 1950s sci-fi films still loved by audiences today, making it unique among Fallout 4 Effectarmor sets.

Unfortunately, the suit isn’t very good in a conventional firefight; he sports a very high resistance to Energy and Rad damagemaking him a solid choice when facing enemies wielding energy weapons. The glass bowl helmet also allows them to breathe indefinitely underwater.

23

Wastelander Armor

+ Agility, + Damage Reduction, + Perception

One of the easiest armor sets to get early, the Wastelander Armorcan be purchased from robotics vendor Percy in Diamond City. This armor can be one of the first you buy to upgrade your standard gear, offering a temporary solution to dealing with higher-tier enemies. This set comes with just two pieces, both of which provide these benefits:

• Torso – +1 Agility, +1 Perception
• Right Leg – Reduces Super Mutant damage by 15%

This armor is great for those who only want to use lighter equipment, as the weight of both pieces is extremely low compared to other armor. Protection against Super Mutants will help you deal with Fallout 4 Effectare the most common early threats, while the other stat boosts will help you escape danger that is too much for you to face in the early points of your adventure.

Rescue diver suit (uncategorized)

+ Breathe underwater

While it’s not the toughest armor set in the world, Fallout 4 EffectThere are many advantages to the Rescue Diver Suit that make it a must-have for wasteland explorers. First, it allows the player spend as much time underwater as necessary without having to emerge. Secondly, it’s extremely mobile and a great alternative to wearing a full set of Power Armor in Fallout 4 Effect.

The suit can be acquired after completing the ‘Changing Tide’ mission in Far Harbor DLC. Not only does it look unique and extremely cool, it offers 250 points of radiation resistance, which is perfect for entering high-radiation areas without needing to wear power armor.

21

Protector’s Armor

+ Damage reduction from humans and super mutants

There aren’t many early game armor sets that offer much damage resistance against enemies you’ll encounter in the Wasteland. While many pieces of protective equipment offer basic damage reduction, the Protector’s Armor It’s a great addition to your collection for dealing with early threats. The left and right arm pieces of this armor offers a 15% damage reduction against humans and Super Mutants.

Both humans and Super Mutants are among the most common enemy types you face during the game’s first group of missions. As you learn to increase stats early on Fallout 4 EffectThis armor can offer simple protection against the enemies you face during the first few missions you undertake. To obtain the Protector’s Armor, buy from NPC Arturo Rodriguez in diamond city to make combat much easier.

20

Ravager’s Armor (Heavy Armor)

The YouTuber shows how to get the Ravager’s Armor Chestplate and Right Greaves, directing players to Goodneighbnor, which is not too far from Diamond City. It’s also close to several family-friendly landmarks such as the Cobot House, Pickman Gallery, Old North Church, and the USS Constitution.

Upon arriving in the city, go to ‘Guns Gun Guns’, a store run by KL-E-0a robotic salesman who will sell both parts to you for bottle caps in Precipitation 4. The table below shows all of the set’s unique abilities that players will possess upon purchasing it:

19

Raider (Power Armor)

+ Damage resistance, + Energy resistance

Raider Power Armor does not compare well to other Power Armor variants; has insignificant stats compared to its more powerful counterparts. At the same time, this interesting and unique armor set can be looted from Raiders.

Raider power armor suits the scrappy survival aesthetic in Fallout 4 Effectvery much like the post-apocalypse wasteland – with the look of scrap metal that was once apparently used to build a Power Armor structure.

18

Apocalypse Armor (exclusive wearable)

+ Energy and damage resistance when health is low

To access this very rare and useful armor set in Fallout 4 Effect, players must track down a character known as the Scribean NPC that appears randomly during the game. With high enough speech skills and a settlement with 10 or more members, the Scribe can be convinced to join the party, at which point he will open an armor shop in whatever settlement he is ordered to remain in.

The Scribe will then offer the Apocalypse Armor breastplate – the first piece of armor available for sale. After that, players need to travel to Goodneighbor and visit the Hotel Rexford to recruit one of the best ghouls in the history of the franchise, the Vault-Tec representative, in the same way, and his vendor shop will offer the left tower of Apocalypse.

It doesn’t look like much, but its damage resistance is fantastic. Additionally, it has two rare effects not seen on other armor. First, time will slow down for players as they accumulate more damage while damage resistance increases at the same time.

+ Damage resistance, + Energy resistance

The Disciples are one of the main factions in Fallout 4 Effect that one goes encounter during a game of Fallout 4 Effectof Nuka World DLC – They can be powerful allies or intimidating enemies. Part of their frightening nature can be attributed to the visually unique armor they wear. Like something out of Mad Maxthe faction definitely looks like part of a nuclear wasteland.

While Disciples Metal Armor is useful because it offers an impressive Base damage resistance of 122 and an energy resistance of 140a full set is incredibly heavy and can be quite cumbersome for the sole survivor.

16

Elder Maxson’s Battlecoat (Exclusive Clothing)

+ Perception

During the main story, the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout 4 Effect plays an important role and, by extension, the leader of the East Coast Brotherhood of Steel, Elder Maxson, plays a crucial role in the story. It’s his coat, however, that can offer the Sole Survivor an interesting set of alternative armor.

Upgrading Maxson’s Battlecoat with the Ballistic Weave upgrade gives the sleek coat a surprisingly competitive stat set while maintaining its innate low weight. The only problem is that cannot be stolen from Elder Maxsonwhich means you’ll have to get your hands dirty to acquire it.

15

Army Fatigue and Fedora (combination)

+ Strength, + Agility, + Luck

After a player joins and completes some side quests in Fallout 4 Effect for the Secretive Railroad organization, they will unlock the ability to increase defensive stats of some items of clothing. How clothes and jumpsuits are worn under more conventional armor sets in Fallout 4 Effectthis ability allows people to essentially use two sets simultaneously.

The best clothing items to boost with the Ballistic Weave upgrade are military uniforms and a fedora, as these items increase Strength, Agility and Luck by +1 each. By wearing upgraded military uniforms and a fedora under more conventional armor, the player will essentially become a walking tank – a great strategy for increasing defense.

14

Champion Armor

+Strength, +Agility, +Perception, +Endurance

The incredibly simple Champion’s Armor It’s just a few metal plates fused together to form a set of armor that works for more than looks. The torso, left arm, and right arm parts of this armor set provide above-average damage resistance, but the other features of this set make it even better. Here’s what each part does in addition to protecting against damage:

• Torso – Reduces damage from robot enemies by 15%
• Left Arm – +1 Strength, +1 Endurance
• Right Arm – +1 Agility, +1 Perception

13

Combat Armor (Level 3)

+ Damage resistance, + Energy resistance[

The Combat Armor set is versatile and pretty great. Ultimately, it will offer adequate protection to the player during the vast majority of their wasteland adventure. This armor provides balanced protection from both Standard Damage and Energy Damage; it is also extremely customizable.

Additionally, it’s fairly easy to get a full set of Combat Armor, as enemies in Fallout 4 that belong to The Gunner mercenary organization have an affinity for this form of protection. This armor is by no means the best in any given situation, but its versatility and well-rounded stats make it ideal for those who want to explore and take on challenges as they come.

12

Robot Armor

+ Damage Resistance, + Energy Resistance

Added to Fallout 4 with the Automatron DLC, the Robot Armor set is one used by the Rust Devil faction introduced in the expansion. This gang obsessed with robots has fashioned the metal into five different armor pieces you can easily find on defeated enemies from this group. These armor pieces offer a surprising spread of damage resistance against both physical and energy-based weapons you might encounter.

Putting together the whole set of Robot Armor doesn’t weigh nearly as much as some heavier armor in the game. With the protection offered, the Robot Armor set is a great middle-of-the-road gear you can use for the DLC as you explore new places. As you can see in the above video by YouTube creator FudgeMuppet, this armor’s balanced stats make it versatile to handle multiple situations, making it useful for many character builds.

11

Mark 3 Synth Armor (Combat)

+ Damage Resistance, Energy Resistance

The Mark 3 Synth Armor is a unique type of Synth Armor in Fallout 4. It is a ‘mix and match’ of various pieces, accounting for all sorts of weaknesses and vulnerabilities, to produce one full armor set.

This armor set in Fallout 4 is worth acquiring due to the Energy Resistance afforded by its unique abilities. However, it is only acquirable if players have not yet challenged the Institute, allowing you to purchase the set from the Institute Requisition Vendor. Those who decide to destroy the Institute as a major part of the RPG’s narrative should at least try to acquire the armor set first.

The table below showcases each feature of the individual pieces of the Armor set, which, when put together alongside the generic Synth Armor, make you much stronger against the hardest enemies in Fallout 4:

The Mark 4 Synth Armor is a legendary version of this armor set that grants +49 Damage Resistance and +54 Energy Resistance. Enemies struggle to detect players who are sneaking, while Chems in Fallout 4 also last 50% longer. This piece can be purchased from the Scribe after assigning him to a Level 3 Armor Stand.

10

Pack Armor (Heavy)

+ Damage Resistance, Energy Resistance

The Heavy Pack Armor set is another good selection of gear for pure protection against the many dangers lurking in the Wasteland. This armor is found on members of The Pack organization found in the Nuka-World DLC for Fallout 4. Although this armor doesn’t have any effect on stats or give you additional abilities, the pure damage resistances it offers can be more than enough to ensure your survival.

This armor set is incredibly balanced compared to other protective gear, giving you equal Ballistics and Energy protection. Despite the added Weight of the Heavy Pack armor set, this flexible nature of this gear will make it useful against any type of enemy weapon you come across while you explore Nuka-World.

9

Marine Armor (Combat)

+ Base Ballistic, + Energy Resistance

The Marine Armor set is one of the strongest normal armor sets; however, it is only available to players who purchased the Far Harbor DLC in Fallout 4. While this armor set is heavy, it boasts almost unrivaled defense, especially if a player takes the time to upgrade the set to the Assault Marine Armor variant.

With these high stats comes rarity, but a full set of Marine Armor will spawn on the DLC’s island if a player solves additional puzzles inside DiMA’s memory. These additional puzzles can be pretty tedious, but they are well worth it for the reward of having some of the best armor in Fallout 4.

8

Mechanist’s Armor (No Category)

+ Damage Resistance, + Energy Resistance

The funniest armor set in the Fallout 4 Automatron DLC is the Mechanist’s Armor, which looks like a mid-century sci-fi robot combined with the nonsensical and bizarre design aesthetic of the Cybermen from Doctor Who. The armor can be secured after completing the DLC, and it’s a pretty good set.

The full set offers 85 Damage and Energy Resistance, plus a further 15% damage reduction from robot enemies and a +1 boost to Endurance, Charisma, and Intelligence. It’s certain to turn heads, possibly for the wrong reasons, but it’s fairly solid when it comes to a good old-fashioned Fallout 4 firefight.

7

Grognak (Costume)

+ Melee Damage

The Grognak Costume is a goofy armor set in Fallout 4, but it’s extremely useful in certain circumstances. Essentially a parody of the iconic, eponymous character from Conan the Barbarian, the Grognak Costume takes similar visual cues when it comes to attire.

This makes Grognak Costume a must-have for builds that focus on dealing damage with melee weapons. Moreover, some pieces of armor can be worn over the costume, which mitigates its weak defense; however, adding excessive armor might take away from the barbarian look.

6

Destroyer’s Armor (Combat)

+ Speed, – Damage From Humans

Fallout 4‘s Destroyer’s Armor is a unique set of combat armor with some particularly useful effects. The armor decreases damage from human enemies by 10 percent and increases a character’s speed and blocking effectiveness while raising the Sole Survivor’s Charisma and Intelligence by one point each.

A player needs to buy the various components from merchants found across the wasteland, as the various parts that make up this armor cannot be looted from defeated enemies. Beyond being useful in battles against humans, the Destroyer’s Armor rewards players who explore Fallout 4’s world and go out of their way to interact with NPCs in various settlements.
