Fallout 4 armor

Overview
In Fallout 4, the wardrobe system changes from previous games, allowing the Sole Survivor to set up their outfit from different pieces divided into: left leg, right leg, chest, left arm, right arm, base layer (clothing) and head (divided into up to three parts: upper head, eyes, mouth).

With the new wardrobe system you now have 3 layers of armor:
 * Base and head clothing
 * Armor - Made up of up to 5 parts
 * Power armor - Made up of 6 parts

All layers can offer bonuses and resistances, allowing for more complicated character armor builds.

Each piece of armor falls under three classifications: Normal, Legendary, and Unique. Normal armors have no special statistics applied to them. Legendary armors come with random bonuses, and are only dropped by Legendary Enemies. Unique armors are named and have a special bonus. Unique variants are typically either bought off of merchants, or are quest rewards.

Many pieces of armor can have armor mods applied to them. Normal and legendary armors will change their name when mods are applied. Unique armors will not.

There are five main armor sets common in the wasteland: combat, leather, metal, raider, synth. Each armor set is comprised of select armor pieces. Some of the pieces for these armors have three variants: regular, sturdy, heavy. In addition to changing the in-game models these variants also change the piece's resistance and weight. For the normal (non-legendary) armor class, these armor pieces have their variant in the armor title, e.g. "Sturdy leather chest piece".
