Top Armor Sets in KCD2 Revealed

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, armor sets differ significantly from the typical RPG standards. Unlike many games, there are no set bonuses for wearing complete armor sets, and often, mixing and matching pieces is more beneficial. However, if you're set on using full armor sets, here are the best options available in the game.

Best Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Armor sets in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* are typically named after their origin, such as where they are found or the enemy type they're looted from. Exceptions include Twitch drops and pre-order sets, which have unique names and acquisition methods.

Best Armor Sets for Protection

The Praguer Guard Armor isn't chosen for its stats but for its utility in the late-game quest "Reckoning." Wearing this set allows you to move freely through the camp without being questioned or attacked, making the quest significantly easier. Additionally, it provides solid protection with stats, depending on quality, of 269 stab resistance, 312 slash resistance, and 146 blunt resistance.

Cuman Armor

Acquired in the latter half of the game from enemies in the Kuttenberg Region during the "Bellatores" side quest, the Cuman Armor offers substantial protection against slashing and blunt damage. It's not ideal for stealth due to high noise and conspicuousness, but it's perfect for combat-heavy quests. Defense stats, depending on quality, are 149 stab resistance, 181 slash resistance, and 65 blunt resistance.

Milanese Cuirass Armor

Purchasable from merchants in the Kuttenberg Region, the Milanese Cuirass Armor provides excellent defense against damage. Though it's heavy and costly, it's a worthwhile investment for its stats: 392 stab resistance, 286 slash resistance, and 100 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Vavak Soldier Armor

Obtained by looting Vavak's soldiers during the quest to find Rosa's book, the Vavak Soldier Armor offers impressive stab and slash defense. While the chest piece may not be the best, other pieces are highly effective. Defense stats, depending on quality, are 352 stab resistance, 264 slash resistance, and 99 blunt resistance.

Brunswick Armor

Exclusive to pre-order players and obtained through the "Lion's Crest" side quest, the Brunswick Armor is the best early-game set. It's available before Semine's wedding, making it ideal for early quests. Wearing the full set provides 704 stab resistance, 567 slash resistance, and 239 blunt resistance.

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

The Cutpurse Armor, available through Twitch drops, is the top choice for stealth. Unfortunately, it's not easily obtainable if you missed the initial drop. Its defense stats, when wearing the full set, are 24 stab resistance, 53 slash resistance, and 54 blunt resistance.

Overall Best Armor

The best armor in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* isn't a full set but a mix of pieces tailored to your build. While full sets look good in cutscenes, they don't offer combat advantages. Consider your playstyle and the best weapons to complement your armor choices, ensuring you can navigate the game's challenges effectively.
