Top Armor Sets in KCD2 Revealed - News

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, armor sets differ from typical RPGs in that you don't receive bonuses for wearing a complete set. Instead, these sets are often found in specific locations or on certain enemies, and their names reflect their origins, with exceptions for Twitch drops and pre-order sets. Here's a detailed look at the best armor sets in the game, categorized by their primary use.

Best Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Best Armor Sets for Protection

The Praguer Guard Armor isn't chosen for its stats alone but for its utility in the "Reckoning" quest. Wearing this armor allows you to move freely through the camp without being questioned or attacked by guards, making the quest significantly easier. In terms of protection, it offers 269 stab resistance, 312 slash resistance, and 146 blunt resistance, depending on its quality.

Cuman Armor

Obtained from enemies in the Kuttenberg Region during the "Bellatores" side quest, the Cuman Armor is ideal for combat-focused quests. It provides 149 stab resistance, 181 slash resistance, and 65 blunt resistance, but its high noise and conspicuousness make it unsuitable for stealth missions.

Milanese Cuirass Armor

Available for purchase from merchants in Kuttenberg City, the Milanese Cuirass Armor is a solid choice for defense. It offers 392 stab resistance, 286 slash resistance, and 100 blunt resistance. However, its weight makes it less ideal for carrying multiple sets, so strategic storage and use are key.

Vavak Soldier Armor

You can acquire the Vavak Soldier Armor by looting Vavak's soldiers during the quest to find Rosa's book. While the chest piece may not be the best, other pieces offer strong stab and slash defense. It's worth grabbing a few pieces like the head and gloves for combat situations.

Brunswick Armor

Exclusive to pre-order players and obtained through the "Lion's Crest" side quest, the Brunswick Armor is one of the best early-game sets. It provides 704 stab resistance, 567 slash resistance, and 239 blunt resistance, making it invaluable for early quests before you've leveled up significantly.

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

The Cutpurse Armor, available through Twitch drops, is ideal for stealth. If you missed the drops, you might have to wait for future events to acquire it. It offers 24 stab resistance, 53 slash resistance, and 54 blunt resistance when worn as a full set.

Overall Best Armor

The best armor in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* isn't a complete set but a mix-and-match of pieces tailored to your build. While full sets look good in cutscenes, they don't provide combat or stealth advantages. Consider your combat skills and the best weapons available to complement your armor choices, ensuring you can navigate quests effectively without relying solely on armor.
