Top Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Revealed

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, armor sets are unique compared to typical RPG mechanics. Unlike many games, wearing a full set of armor doesn't grant you any special bonuses. Instead, sets are often found in specific locations or dropped by certain enemies, leading to names that reflect their origins. Exceptions to this rule include armor obtained through Twitch drops and pre-order bonuses.

Best Armor Sets for Protection

Praguer Guard Armor

The Praguer Guard Armor might not be your go-to for its stats, but it's invaluable for simplifying one of the game's final quests, "Reckoning." By donning this armor, you can freely navigate the camp without being questioned or attacked by guards, making your quest to find Sam much easier. Additionally, it offers solid protection with defense stats of 269 stab resistance, 312 slash resistance, and 146 blunt resistance, depending on its quality.

Cuman Armor

The Cuman Armor becomes available in the latter half of the game, specifically in the Kuttenberg Region during the "Bellatores" side quest. While not ideal for stealth due to its high noise and conspicuousness, it excels in combat, offering 149 stab resistance, 181 slash resistance, and 65 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Milanese Cuirass Armor

You can purchase the Milanese Cuirass Armor from merchants in Kuttenberg City, though it's a costly investment. The armor's inventory rotates every 7 in-game days, so keep checking back. It provides robust defense with 392 stab resistance, 286 slash resistance, and 100 blunt resistance, but its weight makes it less ideal for carrying multiple sets.

Vavak Soldier Armor

Obtain the Vavak Soldier Armor by taking it from Vavak's soldiers during the confrontation at the Ruthards' palace, leading to the quest for Rosa's book. Although the chest piece isn't the strongest, the other pieces offer impressive stab and slash defense at 352 and 264 respectively, with 99 blunt resistance, depending on quality. Even if you don't take the full set, individual pieces like the head and gloves can be beneficial.

Brunswick Armor

The Brunswick Armor set is exclusive to those who pre-ordered the game and completed the "Lion's Crest" side quest. It's the best early-game armor, available before Semine's wedding, aiding you through initial quests where your skills and perks are still developing. The set offers 704 stab resistance, 567 slash resistance, and 239 blunt resistance when worn in full.

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

The Cutpurse Armor, obtained through Twitch drops, is top-notch for stealth. If you missed the drops, future events might offer another chance. It provides 24 stab resistance, 53 slash resistance, and 54 blunt resistance when the entire set is worn.

Overall Best Armor

The best armor strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* involves mixing and matching pieces to suit your build, rather than relying on full sets. While a complete set might look good in cutscenes, it doesn't offer combat advantages or aid in stealth. Consider pairing your armor with the best weapons to enhance your gameplay, as a skilled fighter might only need a sword, shield, and basic armor to navigate the game's challenges successfully.
