In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, armor sets are unique compared to other RPGs. Unlike many games, there's no bonus for wearing a full set of the same armor, and often, mixing and matching can be more beneficial. However, if you're interested in using armor sets, here are some of the best options in the game.
Armor sets in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* are typically named after their origin, such as the location where they're found or the type of enemy they're looted from. Exceptions include sets obtained through Twitch drops or pre-order bonuses.
Obtained from enemies in the Kuttenberg Region during the "Bellatores" side quest, the Cuman Armor is ideal for combat-focused players. While not suitable for stealth due to its high noise and conspicuousness, it provides substantial protection with 149 stab resistance, 181 slash resistance, and 65 blunt resistance, depending on quality.
Available for purchase from merchants in Kuttenberg City, the Milanese Cuirass Armor offers robust defense with 392 stab resistance, 286 slash resistance, and 100 blunt resistance, depending on quality. However, it's heavy, so consider your storage and the specific needs of each quest when using it.
Exclusive to pre-order customers, the Brunswick Armor is obtainable through the "Lion's Crest" side quest. It's advantageous for early-game protection, providing 704 stab resistance, 567 slash resistance, and 239 blunt resistance when wearing the full set.
For those who secured it through Twitch drops, the Cutpurse Armor is excellent for stealth. It offers 24 stab resistance, 53 slash resistance, and 54 blunt resistance when worn as a full set. Unfortunately, it's not easily obtainable if you missed the initial event.
The best armor strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* involves mixing and matching pieces to suit your specific build and needs. While full sets might look good in cutscenes, they don't provide any combat advantage. Alongside armor, consider the best weapons to complement your combat skills, as a proficient fighter might only need a basic set of armor and a good sword and shield to navigate the game successfully.
