Fallout 76 armor

Body armor parts
All types of Body armor provide Damage and Energy Resistance in varying measures. Most can be modified with Lead lining to also provide some Radiation Resistance. Robot, Marine and Trapper armor provide Radiation Resistance without the need for additional modification.

Arctic marine armor
Arctic marine armor is the only armor set with Cryo Resistance.

Botsmith armor
This armor set has higher Radiation Resistance than the majority of armor sets in the game, but has a bit lower Energy Resistance. It's a balanced armor set, almost as good as Secret Service or Brotherhood armor sets.

Image

Brotherhood recon armor
Brotherhood recon armor can be modified with a jet pack. It's similar to Secret Service armor. Provides more ballistic Damage Resistance than Secret Service but less Energy and Rad protection.

Image

Combat armor
Combat armor is a strong armor set that provides balanced Damage Resistance and Energy Resistance. It requires at least level 20 to equip or craft. The helmet, like all headwear, provides no damage reduction.

Images

Covert scout armor
Each piece of the covert armor comes with an integrated sneak bonus, the only exception is the mask.

Image

Forest scout armor
Forest scout armor cannot be crafted; the armor and its modifications can be acquired from MODUS and Enclave events. The forest scout mask is a rare drop from events in the Savage Divide.

Scout armor provides a balance between Damage and Energy Resistance with a slight emphasis on Damage Resistance. It is similar to, but provides somewhat less Energy Resistance than, similarly-leveled combat armor. Stats are exactly the same like Urban scout armor.

Images

Leather armor
Leather armor provides the highest Energy Resistance of all body armors, but has inferior Damage Resistance when compared to most other armor types. It appears to be crafted from various leather patches and straps.

Images

Marine armor
Marine armor provides a balance of Damage, Energy and Radiation Resistance with an emphasis on Damage Resistance. It has better Damage and Energy Resistance but somewhat less Radiation Resistance than Trapper armor.

Image

Metal armor
Metal armor serves as the counterpart to leather armor. Crafted from various metal parts, it provides the highest Damage Resistance of all body armors but has the lowest Energy Resistance.

Images

Raider armor
Raider armor is a commonly found armor, crudely crafted from various metal plates and bars. It provides good Damage Resistance and relatively weak Energy Resistance, with somewhat less Damage Resistance and slightly more Energy Resistance than metal armor.

Images

Robot armor
Robot armor provides a balance of Damage and Energy Resistance with additional Radiation Resistance. It's a middle-of-the-road armor with less Damage and Energy Resistance than Combat armor and less Radiation Resistance than Trapper armor.

Images

Secret Service armor
Secret Service armor allows modifying the chest piece with a jet pack mod. The armor pieces cannot be dropped, sold, or traded, but they can be exchanged for legendary scrip at a legendary exchange machine.

Image

Solar armor
Solar armor provides the same defence as urban or forest scout armor, but it always comes with 3 legendary effects and unique healing set bonus.

Images

Thorn armor
Thorn armor provides the same defence as urban or forest scout armor, but it always comes with 3 legendary effects and unique bleeding set bonus.

Images

Trapper armor
Trapper armor seems to be crafted mainly from old truck tires and various metal parts, held together by screws and straps. It can be made after acquiring plans scattered throughout Appalachia, with the lowest level initially craftable being level 15.

Trapper armor provides the highest Radiation Resistance of all body armor types, along with medium Damage Resistance and low Energy Resistance.

Image

Urban scout armor
Urban scout armor cannot be crafted; the armor and its modifications can be acquired from MODUS and Enclave events. The urban scout mask is a rare drop from events in the Savage Divide.

Scout armor provides a balance between Damage and Energy Resistance with a slight emphasis on Damage Resistance. It is similar to, but provides somewhat less Energy Resistance than, similarly-leveled combat armor. Stats are exactly the same like forest scout armor.

Images

Wood armor
Wood armor has been crudely constructed from large pieces of tree bark tied together with rope. Rusty tin cans are affixed to the armor as if to act as makeshift storage compartments. Clusters of dry lichen still remain on the bark used to make the exterior of the armor.

Wood armor is very light and provides some Damage Resistance and very little Energy Resistance. It can not be crafted. Its unique Shrouded mod makes it even lighter and adds various sneak-related bonuses.

Image

Legendary body armor parts
Events and legendary creatures (enemies with the "legendary" name and/or stars next to their name) have a chance to drop a piece of legendary armor. These cannot be scrapped and have one or more legendary effects.
