Best Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's armor system deviates from typical RPG conventions. Equipping multiple pieces from the same set doesn't grant a bonus. 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 raw stats, but in its unique gameplay advantage. Wearing it significantly simplifies the "Reckoning" quest, a late-game mission involving Sam. Guards won't question or attack you, eliminating the need for stealth and allowing free movement within the camp.

Defensively, it offers (depending on quality) 269 stab, 312 slash, and 146 blunt resistance.

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 in the later game.

Expect (depending on quality) 149 stab, 181 slash, and 65 blunt resistance.

Milanese Cuirass Armor

Purchased from merchants in the Kuttenberg region (check Kuttenberg City), this armor provides solid defense against various damage types. Its high weight necessitates careful inventory management. Merchant inventories refresh every 7 in-game days.

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

Vavak Soldier Armor

Looted from Vavak's soldiers during a confrontation with the Ruthards, this armor (while technically theft) provides surprisingly high stab and slash defense, even if the chest piece is less impressive. Individual pieces, such as the helmet and gloves, are valuable additions to your arsenal.

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

Brunswick Armor

A pre-order bonus obtained through the "Lion's Crest" side quest, this armor is exceptional for its early availability, proving useful before Semine's wedding. Its strong defense stats are invaluable in early-game quests.

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

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

Available through Twitch drops (availability dependent on past promotions), the Cutpurse Armor excels at stealth. Its acquisition relies on past promotional events.

A full set offers 24 stab, 53 slash, and 54 blunt resistance.

Overall Best Armor

The optimal armor setup involves mixing and matching pieces to create a customized build, rather than relying on complete sets. While full sets might look better in cutscenes, prioritizing stats relevant to your playstyle is key. Effective combat skills can mitigate the need for top-tier armor.
