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, but it is not required to obtain the set bonus.

Appearance[]

Thorn armor does not have any paints that can be applied to it.

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 cannot drop from events or legendary creatures.
  • 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 the weightless legendary effect. All Thorn armor parts with weightless mod were, at the time, considered legacy.
    • Patch 1.7.7.2 re-added the weightless legendary mod to both Thorn and Solar armor.
  • It is not possible to re-roll legendary effects using legendary crafting feature.

Plans[]

Locations[]

Thorn armor can be crafted at an armor workbench after learning the respective plans. It is not possible to get Thorn armor through other means.

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, the 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.
  1. * Melee attackers receive +25 Bleed bleed damage per second (5 seconds)
    * Melee targets receive +50 Bleed bleed damage per second (5 seconds).
  2. Full thorn set provides 5% less detection from movement and adds 15 to sneak.
