Metal armor (Fallout 76)

Metal armor is an armor set in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
Metal armor consists of a helmet and five separate body pieces in three distinct sections: chest, arms and legs. As with all other armor pieces, each can be worn under clothing. The metal helmet appears as a simple metal helmet with no inside lining and an adjustable leather strap around the brim.

Scrapping
Scrapping metal armor pieces provides small amount of junk. Higher Intelligence provides more materials. Adding modifications to armor will add materials when scrapped. Level and class of armor don't change amount and type of junk received.

Repairing
Metal armor pieces can be repaired when durability bar is not fully filled and can be repaired to more than 100% with Fix It Good perk. They can be repaired using repair kits or using junk at armor workbench.

Modifications
This item has the following modification slots: Material and Misc. Modifications can be either crafted from materials or applied via mod kit. Most modifications can be learned from scrapping any piece of armor from this family (level, weight, body part is irrelevant). Some modifications can only be learned via plans; those are detailed under the requirements column. Some modifications are restricted behind Perks which is also detailed under requirements.

Material mods cannot be swapped between arms and legs, even though they cost the same and provide the same bonuses.
