The Best Armor In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Armor is no simple thing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as a full outfit or armor set comprises many layers for each body part. Even for just the head alone, there is a helmet that needs to be worn with a coif and then players can bolster this with a mail collar.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – How Does The Kuttenberg Tournament Work?

There is a weekly Kuttenberg tournament in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, but how does it work?

When thinking about the best armor in KCD2, the defensive stats are naturally the most important, but players should also consider weight, as being lighter and more agile can come in handy. Additionally, armor with high Charisma can help in conversations, potentially helping to avoid fights at all. Lastly, the appearance of armor should not be overlooked, and there’s nothing wrong with opting for preferred aesthetics over slightly better stats.

Like weapons, each piece of armor comes in three tiers in KCD2. The armor listed here is all of tier 3, but players may loot slightly worse tier 2 versions.
