In the world of 7 Days to Die, survival is a key factor for successfully progressing through the game. One of the critical elements for ensuring the character's safety is choosing the right armor. In this guide, we will look at the best armor in 7 Days to Die and its features.
Armor sets include four parts: helmet, clothing, gloves, and footwear. Each of these parts has a unique effect. If you wear all four elements of one set, you can get a significant bonus. Effects and bonuses depend on the level of the armor. The bonus amount is determined by the level of the weakest part of the set. For example, if you have three elements of level 4 and one element of level 2, the bonus will correspond to level 2.
Each armor category has its strengths and weaknesses:
All equipment can reach a maximum level of 6, but it is no longer available from Traders or as loot. Instead, these items are crafted from a large amount of common materials and a special Legendary Component. The bonus characteristics of level 6 armor parts often provide twice the bonuses compared to level 5 armor.
Additionally, each armor part in the game has a rating that indicates the percentage damage reduction: for example, an armor rating of 5 means you will receive 5% less damage when wearing it. The total Armor Rating is the sum of all worn armor parts, and the result can be seen in the character's stats menu. The Armor Rating can vary slightly.
