In the world In 7 Days to Die, survival is the key to successfully completing the game. One of the most important elements to keep your character safe is choosing the right armor. In this guide, we will take a look at the best armor in 7 Days to Die and its characteristics.
Armor in 7 days to die
Armor sets consist of four parts: helmet, clothes, gloves, and boots. Each of these parts has a unique effect. If you have all four elements of one set, you can get a significant bonus. Effects and bonuses depend on the armor level. The size of the bonus is determined by the level of the weakest part of the set. For example, if you have three level 4 elements and one level 2 element, the bonus corresponds to level 2.
Each armor category has its own strengths and weaknesses:
- Light armor does not reduce the stamina and mobility characteristics and does not increase the noise level (similar to Fabric Armor version before 1.0).
- Medium armor offers a higher level of protection compared to Light, but reduces the Stamina and Mobility parameters and also increases the noise level. The Medium Armor skill in the Agility branch can mitigate these disadvantages
- Heavy armor offers the highest protection of all types, but significantly reduces stamina and mobility, and also increases noise. The Heavy Armor skill in the Strength branch helps to mitigate these negative effects (similar to Scrap Armor, Iron or Steel Armor before version 1.0).
All armor can reach a maximum level of 6, but is no longer available from merchants or as loot. Instead, these items are made from a variety of common materials and a special legendary part. The bonus stats of armor pieces at level 6 often provide double the bonuses of armor at level 5.
Additionally, each piece of armor in the game has a rating that indicates a percentage reduction in damage: for example, an armor rating of 5 means that you take 5% less damage when equipped. The overall armor rating is the sum of all armor pieces equipped, and the result can be seen in the character’s stats menu. Armor ratings can vary slightly. Let’s take a look at the best armor in the game.
