Combat armor is an armor set in Fallout 76.

Characteristics[]

Combat armor consists of five different pieces, one for each limb, and a torso. They can be worn over clothing with ease and can be modified with standard combat armor mods. All in all, it's a highly modifiable suit of armor that offers a balanced level of protection. Combat armor is available in standard (light), sturdy and heavy versions with each variant offering increased protection at the cost of added weight and increased crafting resources. As with all armor sets in Fallout 76, it can be worn under clothing/outfits and worn over underarmor.

Combat armor has two mod slots, with the first slot allowing the player character to alter the armor's appearance while improving DR and ER. While they do change the appearance, from a sheer resistance perspective, the Brotherhood of Steel variant is the most powerful. Combat armor provides balanced Damage Resistance and Energy Resistance but lacks Radiation Resistance and requires the player character to be at least level 20 to equip or craft.

The second mod slot allows several utility improvements, such as additional carry capacity or a lighter build. Mods may be learned from scrapping armor or by acquiring plans. Mods may also be purchased, found in the world or awarded for quests. Combat armor may also be painted.

Variant[]

Legendary effects[]

  • Combat armor body pieces can be obtained with legendary effects.
  • Legendary light combat armor starts to drop at level 20, sturdy at level 35 and heavy at level 40.
  • Legendary armor pieces can be bought with legendary scrip from Purveyor Murmrgh or can be awarded as drop from events or legendary enemies.
  • Combat armor effects can be re-rolled using legendary crafting feature.

Locations[]

  • A helmet can be found at the Charleston Capitol Building in the Charleston Capitol Courthouse, on a table with a lamp and folder under the collapsed floor. Another can be found on the front desk of the DMV.
  • A helmet may be found at Clarksburg, on the second floor of the post office, on top of a file cabinet in the middle of the room.
  • A helmet may be found at Morgantown, at the street camp, inside the large tent, on a table.
  • A helmet can be found on a cabinet shelf in a shed to the south of the North Kanawha lookout, to the left of the fridge.
  • A helmet can be found inside the yellow striped bus south of Dyer Chemical.
  • A helmet may be found at Helvetia, inside the Honey Haus, within the locked room, on a wooden palisade.
  • Brotherhood initiates patrolling Appalachia's points of interest such as crashed vertibirds can be killed and have a high chance of dropping multiple pieces of combat armor in the Brotherhood of Steel variant, as well as default Combat Armor Helmets. These only drop at higher levels. For example, if the player is level 50+, the initiates may drop heavy combat armor and helmets with the BoS modification
    • One can be found south west of The Wayward at a checkpoint on the main road.
    • One can be found east of Forward Station Alpha at a crashed vertibird along a dried up stream.
    • One can be found south east of Fort Atlas at a checkpoint on the highway.
    • One can be found north east of Fort Atlas at a checkpoint on the highway.
    • One can be found north west of Drop Site V9 at a crashed vertibird.
    • One can be found north east of the South Mountain lookout, at a crashed vertibird on the northern side of an unmarked crater.
    • One can be found south east of the Federal Disposal Field HZ-21, at a crashed vertibird.
    • One can be found south west of the Converted munitions factory, at a crashed vertibird located on top of the mountain.
  • Elizabeth Taggerdy's corpse inside the glassed cavern will usually have a few leveled pieces pre-modified with the BoS mod and a helmet.

Notes[]

  • The helmet is not considered a part of the set for the Sizzling Style and Funky Duds legendary perks.
  • Modifying combat armor with any material modification will change the skin used by the armor piece. It is overwritten when a paint modification is applied to this model. The helmet does not have a material slot, but instead material modifications are used by paint slot. They do not give any bonuses, but change the skin of the helmet (see gallery).
  • The brawling modification for combat arms changes the visual model of arms. It adds saw blades (see gallery).
  • Pocketed and deep pocketed modifications change the visual model of armor piece with this mod. These two modifications add small pockets (see gallery).

Bugs[]

  • PCPC Xbox OneXbox One Playstation 4Playstation 4 Deep pocketed, pocketed and brawling mods previous would not change the look of an armor piece.[patched]
  • PCPC Xbox OneXbox One Playstation 4Playstation 4 Fiberglass limb modification previously provided less damage resistance than intended.[patched]
