Generally speaking heavy armours like metal and raider pieces have higher ballistic resistance than light types like leather. This is represented by the little shield on your armour’s stats, and is the basic level of protection the armour will give you from bullets, explosives, and other regular kinds of stuff like being smacked in the face with a tire iron. The heavier armour is the more of your Action Points (AP) it will use up when you sprint with it on. The weight of your armour can be far more consequential than with weapon modifications, depending on how you’ve prioritised your SPECIAL points, so it’s actually worth keeping an eye on. How armour stats work in Fallout 4Īrmour in Fallout 4 has three damage resistance scores (DMG), along with the weight and value. Some of the nicer suits and dresses make you more charismatic, but aren’t great in a tactical firefight situation. You might want to keep different sets of clothes for different occasions. There are some bits of kit that are complete outfits and will fill up most or all of your armour slots, like the Silver Shroud costume. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s not a relevant choice. It’s worth noting that you can equip more than one thing on your head, so if you want to rock a postman’s hat with a bitchin’ pair of sunglasses you can.
You can then fill the other slots with a combination of any separate bits you like from the armour you pick up. The base layer is more or less a set of clothes that you can strap other bits of armour on top (for example, the Vault 111 uniform you’re wearing when you first leave the vault) so you’re not just wearing your pants. When you’re getting dressed in Fallout 4 you have six slots to fill: left leg, left arm, right leg, right arm, torso, head, and, underneath all that, a base layer.
If you’re more of power armour type then don’t worry: we’ve done a separate guide for that too. You can’t skip merrily around the Commonwealth without any protection – or at least, if you did you wouldn’t last long – so understanding your armour and what kind of defense it affords you is pretty important, hence we’ve done a guide on armour and how you can modify it.
