Top Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Revealed

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, armor sets differ significantly from typical RPG games. Unlike other games, wearing a complete set of armor doesn't grant you special bonuses for having multiple pieces from the same set. Instead, these sets are often found in specific locations or looted from particular enemies, and their names usually reflect their origin. Exceptions include sets obtained through Twitch drops or pre-orders.

Best Armor Sets for Protection

Praguer Guard Armor

The Praguer Guard Armor is less about its stats and more about its utility during a key quest. Wearing it during the "Reckoning" quest, one of the final main quests where you encounter Sam, allows you to move freely within the camp without being questioned or attacked by guards. This makes completing the quest much simpler without the need for stealth. In terms of protection, the armor offers defense stats of 269 stab resistance, 312 slash resistance, and 146 blunt resistance, depending on its quality.

Cuman Armor

This set is looted from enemies in the Kuttenberg Region, specifically during the "Bellatores" side quest in Bylany. While not ideal for stealth due to its high noise and conspicuousness, the Cuman Armor provides solid protection against slashing and blunt damage, making it excellent for combat-heavy quests. Its defense stats include 149 stab resistance, 181 slash resistance, and 65 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Milanese Cuirass Armor

Available for purchase from merchants in the Kuttenberg Region, particularly in Kuttenberg City, the Milanese Cuirass Armor offers robust defense against various types of damage. However, it's quite heavy, so consider your storage and the specific needs of your gameplay. The armor provides 392 stab resistance, 286 slash resistance, and 100 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Vavak Soldier Armor

This set can be obtained by robbing Vavak's soldiers during a confrontation at the Ruthards' palace, which is part of a quest to find Rosa's book. While the chest piece may not be the strongest, other pieces offer significant stab and slash defense. Even if you don't take the full set, picking up key pieces like the head and gloves can be beneficial for combat. The armor's defense stats are 352 stab resistance, 264 slash resistance, and 99 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Brunswick Armor

Exclusive to those who pre-ordered the game and completed the "Lion's Crest" side quest, the Brunswick Armor is one of the best sets available early in the game. It's particularly useful before attending Semine's wedding, helping you navigate through early quests with limited skill levels and perks. 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 one of the best sets for stealth. However, if you missed the initial drops, you might need to wait for future events from the developers to obtain it. Its defense stats are 24 stab resistance, 53 slash resistance, and 54 blunt resistance when wearing the full set.

Overall Best Armor

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the best armor strategy is to mix and match pieces based on your specific needs and build. While wearing a full set might look good in cutscenes, it doesn't provide combat advantages or enhance stealth capabilities. Consider combining armor with the best weapons in the game to optimize your performance. If you're skilled in combat, a sword, shield, and basic armor might be all you need to successfully complete quests without excessive damage.
