Cavalier's is a three star armor, power armor and melee legendary mod in Fallout 76, introduced in the Milepost Zero update.
Effects[]
Although the Cavalier's melee effect and armor effect have the same name and are unlocked together, they function completely differently and the melee effect is more similar to the Defender's legendary effect for armor.
- Armor
The Cavalier's effect on armor grants a 5% reduction to damage taken while sprinting (specifically sprinting with Action Points; normal running/movement does not trigger the effect).(Note) Multiple armor pieces with this effect stack additively up to a maximum of 25% with 5 pieces. The effect is an inverse of the Sentinel's legendary effect which only provides reduction while standing still. Currently there's no effect that reduces damage while running. Cavalier armor stacks additively with itself, but it stacks multiplicatively with any other damage reduction bonus, even cavalier melee.
- Melee
The Cavalier's effect on melee weapons reduces damage taken by 15% while blocking. This stacks additively with the Defender's legendary effect to a maximum of 90% damage reduction. Unlike the Cavalier's armor effect, the effect has a 100% chance to trigger. The Cavalier's melee effect stacks additively with the Defender's armor effect, but stacks multiplicatively with any other damage reduction effects.

Bugs[]
Weapon effect increases the damage received instead of reducing it. [verified]
