Combat armor (Fallout 76)

Combat armor is an armor set

Characteristics
Combat armor consists of five different pieces, one for each limb, and a torso. They can be worn over clothing with ease and can be modified with standard combat armor mods. All in all, it's a highly modifiable suit of armor that offers a balanced level of protection. Combat armor is available in standard (light), sturdy and heavy versions with each variant offering increased protection at the cost of added weight and increased crafting resources. As with all armor sets in Fallout 76, it can be worn under clothing/outfits and worn over underarmor.

Combat armor has two mod slots, with the first slot allowing the player character to alter the armor's appearance while improving DR and ER. While they do change the appearance, from a sheer resistance perspective, the Brotherhood of Steel variant is the most powerful. Combat armor provides balanced Damage Resistance and Energy Resistance but lacks Radiation Resistance and requires the player character to be at least level 20 to equip or craft.

The second mod slot allows several utility improvements, such as additional carry capacity or a lighter build. Mods may be learned from scrapping armor or by acquiring plans. Mods may also be purchased, found in the world or awarded for quests. Combat armor may also be painted.
