Best Armor in Fallout 76

When playing a game, it can be tricky to know where you should even start when deciding on smaller details that you have the freedom to decide. One example of this is the wide array of armor you can choose from in Fallout 76. Luckily, you can read our recommendations below!

Urban Scout Armor

This armor is best for those who are more interested in the defensive effects of armor. Urban Scout Armor boasts both high damage and energy resistance. This is perfect for players that want to feel invincible without Power Armor. The absolute best perk of this armor is that it doesn't require Fusion Cores.

Metal Armor

Now, the Metal Armor is not the best choice when it comes to the overall gameplay of Fallout 76. What makes this armor worthy of being on the list is that it is the best armor for early players. In the beginning, those who have not yet gathered everything to get impressive armor still need protection. That's where the easy-to-make and decently useful Metal Armor comes into play.
