Best Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Unlike typical RPGs, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 doesn't reward wearing full armor sets with stat boosts. Armor pieces are usually found in specific locations or on particular enemies. Set names often 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, allowing free movement within the camp without triggering hostile reactions. Stat-wise, it offers substantial protection: approximately 269 stab, 312 slash, and 146 blunt resistance (depending on quality).

Cuman Armor

Acquired from Cumans in the Kuttenberg region (during the "Bellatores" side quest), this armor excels in combat. Its high noise and conspicuousness make it unsuitable for stealth, but its strong slash and blunt resistance make it ideal for unavoidable fights. Expect around 149 stab, 181 slash, and 65 blunt resistance (depending on quality).

Milanese Cuirass Armor

Purchased from merchants in the Kuttenberg region, the Milanese Cuirass Armor provides solid defense. While expensive, its high defense values (approximately 392 stab, 286 slash, and 100 blunt resistance, depending on quality) make it a worthwhile investment. However, its weight should be considered when managing inventory.

Vavak Soldier Armor

Looted from Vavak's soldiers during a confrontation with the Ruthards, this armor offers surprisingly good stab and slash protection. While the chest piece is less impressive, the head and glove pieces are valuable additions to any armor setup. Expect approximately 352 stab, 264 slash, and 99 blunt resistance (depending on quality).

Brunswick Armor

A pre-order bonus obtained through the "Lion's Crest" side quest, the Brunswick Armor is exceptionally strong early in the game. Its high defense makes it invaluable before reaching higher skill levels and perks. A full set provides approximately 704 stab, 567 slash, and 239 blunt resistance.

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

Available through Twitch drops (availability may vary), the Cutpurse Armor is a top choice for stealth. Its low profile comes at the cost of defense: expect around 24 stab, 53 slash, and 54 blunt resistance (depending on quality).

Overall Best Armor

The "best" armor is rarely a complete set. Strategic mixing and matching of pieces based on your build and needs is key. While full sets look good in cutscenes, practical effectiveness in combat outweighs aesthetic appeal. A well-chosen combination of armor pieces, combined with skilled combat, can often suffice.
