Fallout 76 Armor

Armor is a type of apparel $$

Gameplay
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.

All body armor pieces can be obtained with legendary effects. 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 can only be sold at a legendary exchange machine.

Body suits take all armor, underarmor and overall slots, some of them may cover head. Usually they come with unique effects like stealth bonus from Chinese Stealth Armor or radiation resistance from Hazmat suit, because of that they can't be obtained with any legendary effects. Usually they provide damage, energy or radiation resistance.

Unique
Some armor pieces come with an unique name and pre-attached mods or legendary effects. They cannot be re-rolled using legendary crafting feature.

Body Suits
Full apparel body suits, such as the hazmat suit and the Garb of Mysteries, will unequip any armor, outfit or underarmors. They cannot be upgraded with legendary mods.

Arctic marine armor
Arctic marine armor provides a similar resistance to Marine armor, but it provides additional Cryo Resistance. It's the only armor set in the game with this resist type.

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.

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.

Leather armor provides the highest Energy Resistance of all body armors, but has inferior Damage Resistance when compared to most other armor types. It is 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 cannot be crafted. Its unique Shrouded mod makes it even lighter and adds various sneak-related bonuses.
