Wasteland 3 armor

This page covers Wasteland 3 armor. Unlike previous games, armor is generally broken down into three pieces: Chest armor, leg armor, and helmets, allowing for mixing and matching different items.

Headgear

This section lists Helmet slot items that have no matching set (AKA fancy hats).

Heavy

All heavy armor suits have a minimal Strength requirement, which varies from armor to armor. Characters with lower Strength can equip these suits, but will suffer additional movement penalties on top of ones imposed by the suit, at a rate of -0.2 Combat Speed for every Strength point below the requirement.
