Armor in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 operates differently than in many other RPGs. Complete sets offer no inherent bonus, and often, a full set isn't the optimal choice. However, several armor sets stand out for specific purposes.

Best Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Unlike many RPGs, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 doesn't reward you for equipping multiple pieces from the same armor set. These sets are often found in specific locations or on particular enemies, with their names reflecting their origins (exceptions being Twitch drops and pre-order sets).

Best Armor Sets for Protection

Praguer Guard Armor

The Praguer Guard Armor's value lies not in its stats, but in its utility. Wearing it significantly simplifies the "Reckoning" quest, a late-game mission involving Sam. Guards won't question or attack you, allowing free movement through the camp instead of stealthy maneuvering. Stat-wise, it offers substantial protection: approximately 269 stab, 312 slash, and 146 blunt resistance (depending on quality).

Cuman Armor

Acquired from Cumans in the Kuttenberg region (during the "Bellatores" side quest, for example), this armor excels in combat. Its high noise and conspicuousness make it unsuitable for stealth, but it provides excellent protection against slashing and blunt damage, ideal for unavoidable fights. Expect around 149 stab, 181 slash, and 65 blunt resistance (depending on quality).

Milanese Cuirass Armor

Purchased from merchants in the Kuttenberg region, the Milanese Cuirass Armor offers solid defense against various damage types. While not cheap, its strong defense makes it a worthwhile investment. However, its weight should be considered when managing multiple armor sets. Expect approximately 392 stab, 286 slash, and 100 blunt resistance (depending on quality).

Vavak Soldier Armor

Looted from Vavak's soldiers during the confrontation with the Ruthards, this set provides surprisingly good stab and slash defense, particularly in the helmet and gloves. Even if not a complete set, these pieces are valuable additions for combat situations. Expect around 352 stab, 264 slash, and 99 blunt resistance (depending on quality).

Brunswick Armor

Available through pre-ordering the game and completing the "Lion's Crest" side quest, the Brunswick Armor is exceptional for its early game availability. It offers significant protection before reaching higher skill levels and perks, proving invaluable during early quests. A full set provides approximately 704 stab, 567 slash, and 239 blunt resistance.

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

Obtained through Twitch drops (availability dependent on past promotions), the Cutpurse Armor is a top choice for stealth. Its low profile makes it ideal for avoiding conflict. Expect around 24 stab, 53 slash, and 54 blunt resistance (if wearing the full set).

Overall Best Armor

The best armor setup isn't a single set, but a combination of pieces tailored to your build. While complete sets look good in cutscenes, their benefits are limited. Effective combat often prioritizes weapon choice and skill over relying solely on armor.

Remember to consider your preferred combat style and weapon choices when selecting armor. Even with a basic armor set, skilled combat can overcome many challenges.
