Armor is no simple thing inKingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as a full outfit or armor set comprisesmany layers for each body part. Even for just the head alone, there is a helmet that needs to be worn with a coif and then players can bolster this with a mail collar.
When thinking about thebest armor inKCD2, the defensive stats are naturally the most important, but players should also considerweight, as being lighter and more agile can come in handy. Additionally, armor with highCharismacan help in conversations, potentially helping to avoid fights at all. Lastly, theappearance of armor should not be overlooked, and there’s nothing wrong with opting for preferred aesthetics over slightly better stats.
Like weapons, each piece of armor comes in three tiers inKCD2. The armor listed here is all of tier 3, but players may loot slightly worse tier 2 versions.
