Thorn armor is an armor set in Fallout 76, introduced in the Nuclear Winter update.

Characteristics

A full set of scout armor, completely overrun by strangler vines and other flora. When the full set is equipped, the player character gains the Thorn set bonus, which makes it harder to detect the player while sneaking and makes melee targets and melee attackers bleed. It is visually identical to solar armor. The armor pieces cannot be dropped, sold, or traded, but they can be exchanged for legendary scrip at a legendary exchange machine.

The Vault 94 scout armor mask is a part of the set, however it is not required to obtain the set bonus.

Modifications

Modifications for the Thorn armor can not be crafted. Instead, loose mods are available for purchase from the MODUS armory terminal inside the Whitespring bunker, if Officer on Deck has been completed. They are applied to armor pieces via a workbench.

Variants

Thorn armor shares model with Solar armor. It also shares mods and uses the same base model (without vines) as urban scout armor, forest scout armor and Covert scout armor.

Legendary effects

• Thorn armor body pieces can be crafted with legendary effects. All parts are crafted in the Armor workbench and always have 3 random legendary armor effects and unique thorn set bonus.
• Thorn armor can't drop from events or legendary creatures.
• Currently it's possible to get all legendary effects except for weightless.
  • When Thorn armor was added to the game it was possible to get all legendary effects except for unyielding, regenerating, chameleon, cloaking and improved sneaking.
  • Since patch 1.3.0.23 Thorn armor can correctly spawn with Unyielding effect.
  • Patch 1.5.4.15 added other missing legendary effects and all new legendary effects, but removed weightless legendary effect. All Thorn armor parts with weightless mod are considered legacy.
• It is not possible to re-roll legendary effects using legendary crafting feature.

Plans

• Plans for Thorn armor parts can be bought from Regs or from Minerva for gold bullion.
• The individual crafting plans used to drop from vault raids in this order: left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg and chest piece.

Locations

• Can only be crafted at Armor workbench after learning plans.

Notes

• Bleed effect works with all unarmed and melee weapons or in hand to hand combat.
• The reinforced torso mod was cut from the game.
• Before patch 1.0.3.23 thorn set could be crafted from individual plans earned during Vault 94 vault raids.
• Armorer perk at rank two reduces Vault steel crafting cost, making it only 10 steel per armor piece, or 50 for full set.
• Bleed damage from thorn armor does not stack.
