Metal armor is an armor set in Fallout 76.

Characteristics

Metal armor consists of a helmet and five separate body pieces in three distinct sections: chest, arms and legs. As with all other armor pieces, each can be worn under clothing. The metal helmet appears as a simple metal helmet with no inside lining and an adjustable leather strap around the brim.
