Tips
- The higher the armor class, the better the armor's protection.
- Pay attention to the damage resistance percentages for different damage types (Normal, Explosion, Laser, Plasma, Fire) as some armors excel against specific threats.
- Heavier armors like Power Armor can significantly impact your carrying capacity and movement speed.
- Consider the selling price if you plan to acquire armor through purchase or sell unwanted gear.
