Best Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Unlike typical RPGs, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* doesn't reward wearing multiple pieces from the same set. Armor pieces are often found in specific locations or on particular enemies. Set names usually reflect their origin, with exceptions for Twitch drops and pre-order bonuses.

Best Armor Sets for Protection

Praguer Guard Armor

The Praguer Guard Armor's value lies not in its stats, but its unique gameplay advantage. 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 maneuvers.

Defensively, it provides substantial protection: approximately 269 stab, 312 slash, and 146 blunt resistance (depending on quality).

Cuman Armor

Acquired from enemies in the Kuttenberg region's Cuman camps (during the "Bellatores" side quest), this armor is unsuitable for stealth due to its high noise and conspicuousness. However, its strong slash and blunt resistance makes it ideal for unavoidable combat encounters. Expect around 149 stab, 181 slash, and 65 blunt resistance (depending on quality).

Milanese Cuirass Armor

Purchaseable from merchants in the Kuttenberg region (Kuttenberg City merchants are a good starting point), this armor offers solid defense against various damage types. While expensive, its effectiveness is undeniable. Note its weight; manage your inventory accordingly. Defense stats vary but expect high values against stab and slash damage.

Expect approximately 392 stab, 286 slash, and 100 blunt resistance (depending on quality).

Vavak Soldier Armor

Looted from Vavak's soldiers during his confrontation with the Ruthards, this armor offers surprisingly good stab and slash protection, even if the chest piece isn't the strongest. Consider acquiring individual pieces (helmet and gloves, for instance) for combat situations.

Expect approximately 352 stab, 264 slash, and 99 blunt resistance (depending on quality).

Brunswick Armor

A pre-order bonus accessible through the "Lion's Crest" side quest, this armor is exceptionally valuable due to its early availability. It significantly aids progression before reaching Semine's wedding, proving invaluable in early-game quests.

A full set offers approximately 704 stab, 567 slash, and 239 blunt resistance.

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

Obtained through Twitch drops (availability may be limited), this armor excels in stealth scenarios. Its low profile makes it perfect for avoiding detection.

Expect approximately 24 stab, 53 slash, and 54 blunt resistance (when wearing the full set).

Overall Best Armor

The optimal armor setup involves mixing and matching pieces based on your build's needs. While complete sets offer visual appeal in cutscenes, they don't provide combat or stealth advantages. Prioritize stats over complete sets.

Remember, effective combat skill can mitigate the need for top-tier armor. A well-timed attack can often negate the need for excessive protection.
