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 a small amount of components. Higher Intelligence results in more components received. Adding modifications to armor will add components when scrapped. Level and class of armor do not change the amount and type of components received.

Repairing
Metal armor pieces can be repaired when the durability bar is not fully filled, with the Fix It Good perk even past 100%. They can be repaired by using junk or components at an armor workbench or by using repair kits.

Modifications
This item has the following modification slots: Material and Misc. Modifications can be either crafted from components or applied via a loose mod. 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.
