Top Armor Sets in KCD2 Revealed

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, armor sets differ from typical RPGs in that you don't receive bonuses for wearing a complete set. Instead, sets are often named after their origin or the enemies you find them on, with exceptions like Twitch drops and pre-order bonuses. Here's a comprehensive guide to the best armor sets in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* if you decide to use them.

Best Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Best Armor Sets for Protection

The Praguer Guard Armor isn't just about stats; it's crucial for easing one of the game's final main quests, "Reckoning." Wearing this armor allows you to move freely in the camp where you search for Sam, avoiding detection and confrontation with guards. Beyond its utility in the quest, it provides robust protection with defense stats of 269 stab resistance, 312 slash resistance, and 146 blunt resistance, depending on its quality.

Cuman Armor

Available in the latter part of the game in the Kuttenberg Region, the Cuman Armor is looted from enemies during the "Bellatores" side quest in Bylany. It's not ideal for stealth due to high noise and conspicuousness, but it offers significant protection against slashing and blunt damage with 149 stab resistance, 181 slash resistance, and 65 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Milanese Cuirass Armor

This armor can be purchased from merchants in Kuttenberg City. Given the randomness of merchant inventory every 7 in-game days, you might need to check back regularly. The Milanese Cuirass provides solid defense with 392 stab resistance, 286 slash resistance, and 100 blunt resistance, though it's heavy and best managed with strategic storage.

Vavak Soldier Armor

Obtained by looting Vavak's soldiers during the quest involving Rosa's book at the Ruthards' palace, this set offers impressive stab and slash defense despite a weaker chest piece. With 352 stab resistance, 264 slash resistance, and 99 blunt resistance depending on quality, it's worth considering, even if just for a few key pieces.

Brunswick Armor

Exclusive to pre-order players, the Brunswick Armor is available early through the "Lion's Crest" side quest. It's invaluable for early game challenges with 704 stab resistance, 567 slash resistance, and 239 blunt resistance when worn in full, making it a top choice for those who can access it.

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

The Cutpurse Armor, obtained through Twitch drops, is ideal for stealth but limited to those who participated in the event. It offers 24 stab resistance, 53 slash resistance, and 54 blunt resistance when worn completely, making it a unique choice for silent approaches.

Overall Best Armor

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the optimal armor strategy involves mixing and matching pieces to suit your build rather than relying on full sets. While complete sets look good in cutscenes, they don't provide combat or stealth bonuses. Consider balancing armor with the best weapons available to enhance your gameplay, focusing on what keeps you alive through quests, whether that's combat prowess with a sword and shield or stealth with lighter gear.
