Combat armor (Fallout 4)

Combat armor was issued within the Armed Forces of the United States of America during the Great War and appears as armor in Fallout 4. Its appearance is radically different from previous games, largely due to the modularization of the primary armor sets. It provides balanced Damage Resistance and Energy Resistance.

Combat armor
Combat armor is considered "Tier 3" and becomes more common as you enter into the middle levels (15-35). Combat armor offers roughly equal ballistic protection to metal armor and equal energy protection to leather armor. The combination of protection makes it generally a better choice than equivalent-modded of the other armor types, although combat armor becomes available at slightly higher levels than the corresponding tiers of Leather and Metal armor. Combat armor provides no latent protection from radiation, though through an exclusive mod it can result in the highest radiation resistance available to conventional armor (at the sacrifice of some ballistic and energy protection).

The model for combat armor in Fallout 4 appears to have a basic harness worn underneath, on which a modular system of ballistic plates is attached. Sturdy armor adds an apparently leather liner, elbow and knee pads, shin guards, and forearm guards. Heavy armor adds a large collar, additional plates around the torso protection, large pauldrons to the shoulder guards, and utilizes larger thigh and shin guards.

Combat armor helmet
The combat armor helmet was the standard-issue helmet to active duty units of the military (and possibly police) forces of the United States of America before the Great War. Though the model displays what is possibly a headlamp attached to the left side above the brow line, the helmet unfortunately does not utilize the lamp like the mining helmet. It can be modified, similarly to the metal helmet, with the same types of material mods as other pieces of combat armor. It does not currently appear to have a sturdy or heavy variant.

The combat armor helmet only occupies the hat slot, allowing eyewear and masks to be worn.

Heavy
Multiple variants of combat armor can be found, including sturdy and heavy armor. However, the combat armor helmet does not seem to exist as either of these variants (although the similar army helmet can be found separately) and all variants seem to share the same base ID. A full set of sturdy combat armor, including the regular helmet, yields a damage resistance to both ballistic and energy of 85 and a radiation resistance of 0. A full set of heavy combat armor, including the regular helmet, yields a damage resistance to both ballistic and energy of 111 and a radiation resistance of 0.

Because all variants share the same ID, using the console to spawn any of the pieces will result in a random, level-dependent variant of the armor to spawn (either regular, sturdy, or heavy).

Variants

 * Black Ops armor
 * Destroyer armor
 * Freefall Legs
 * Commando armor
 * Overseer's armor

Locations

 * One full set of unmodified combat armor can be found on a hostile character by the name of Absalom. He can be found at several random locations throughout The Commonwealth.
 * Left arm, left leg, right leg and chest piece of heavy combat armor can be found within the Quincy ruins on a named character or, if the character has already been killed, a Gunner sergeant found on the church roof. A right arm heavy muffled combat armor may be found on the character Cruz, after killing him, inside the Gunners plaza building. It is not guaranteed to be hardened though. Alternatively, one can buy the heavy combat armor right arm and the left arm in Vault 81.
 * A full set of heavy or sturdy combat armor, minus the right arm and helmet, can be found on Captain Bridget on the highway above Hub City Auto Wreckers, close to Saugus Ironworks.
 * A full set of unmodified armor, minus the helmet, can be found on a dead Sal, in Jamaica Plain, on the second floor city hall, where the 2076 World Series baseball bat is in the basement.
 * A varying number of pieces of combat armor can be found worn by higher ranked Gunners (often Private or higher).
 * Helmet found on dead raider in The Secret of Cabot House.
 * Several mercenaries at Parsons State Insane Asylum are wearing different armor parts including helmets.
 * A combat armor helmet found as a placed item, in the central building of Hub City Auto Wreckers, on a desk adjacent to the crane control terminal. Respawns.
 * Various pieces can be looted from Gunners.
 * Proctor Teagan sells full sets of BoS Combat Armor aboard the Prydwen.
 * BoS variant found on dead BoS Soldiers
