Solar armor

Solar armor is an armor set in Fallout 76, introduced in the Nuclear Winter update.

Characteristics
A full set of scout armor, completely overrun by strangler vines and other flora. When the full set is equipped, the player character gains the Solar set bonus, which regenerates health for them and nearby teammates while the player character's health is above 60%. It is visually identical to thorn armor.

The Vault 94 scout armor mask is a part of the set, however, and is obtained separately. The mask cannot be used to obtain the set bonus.

Armor parts

 * Level 40


 * Level 50

Modifications
Modifications for the Solar armor can not be crafted. Instead, loose mods are available for purchase from the MODUS armory terminal inside the Whitespring bunker, if Officer on Deck has been completed. They are applied to armor pieces via a workbench.

Variants
Solar armor shares model with Thorn armor. It also shares mods and uses the same base model (without vines) as urban scout armor, forest scout armor and Covert scout armor.

Legendary effects
Solar armor body pieces can be crafted with legendary effects. All parts are crafted in the Armor workbench and always have 3 legendary effects. Solar armor can't drop from events or legendary creatures. Currently it's possible to get all legendary effects except for weightless. When Solar armor was added to the game it was possible to get all legendary effects except for unyielding, regenerating, chameleon, cloaking and improved sneaking. Since patch 1.3.0.23 Solar armor can correctly spawn with Unyielding effect. Patch 1.5.4.15 added other missing legendary effects and all new legendary effects, but removed weightless legendary effect. All solar armor parts with weightless mod are considered legacy.

Plans
Plans for Solar armor parts can be bought from Regs in Vault 79 for gold bullion.

Locations

 * Solar armor can be crafted at Armor workbench after learning plans.

 * Solar armor pieces can't be modified with any paints.
 * Solar armor pieces obtained before Wastelanders patch 1.0.3.23 are missing vines.
 * Solar armor pieces modified with any material cannot be changed back to standard.
