Combat armor (Fallout 4)

The combat armor is a relic of the Great War, and remains, as armor in Fallout 4, an effective source of balanced protection in the Commonwealth.

Characteristics
Combat armor is found often middle to late game and offers very well balanced protection between projectile and energy damage while having no resistance against radiation. This form of armor prefers balance rather than specialty, and as such will not surpass other more specific forms of protection built for certain damage types, but offers lesser protection from the most common damage types, making it the ideal choice for mercenary groups like the Gunners.

Parts
Multiple variants of combat armor can be found, including Sturdy and Heavy. However, the combat armor helmet does not seem to exist as either of these variants (although the similar Army helmet can be found separately) and all variants seem to share the same base ID. A full set of sturdy combat armor, including the regular helmet, yields a damage resistance to both ballistic and energy of 85 and a radiation resistance of 0. A full set of heavy combat armor, including the regular helmet, yields a damage resistance to both ballistic and energy of 105 and a radiation resistance of 0.

Locations
