Best Armor Sets

Destroyer's Armor is the Best Armor Set

Unique Armor Set	Base Armor Set	Bonuses
Destroyer's Armor	Combat Armor	・ Charisma +1, Intelligence +1 ・ DMG Reduction from Humans +15% ・ DMG Reduction while Blocking or Sprinting +15% ・ Movement Speed +10% ・ Movement Speed +10%

The Destroyer's Armor Set is the best armor set in Fallout 4 thanks to its Charisma and Intelligence stat boosts, as well as the increase in Damage Reduction and Movement speed.

Almost every combat build benefits from this Combat Armor, especially Commando builds that center around run-and-gun playstyles.

Mantis Armor for Tanky Close-Combat Builds

Unique Armor Set	Base Armor Set	Bonuses
Mantis Armor	Leather Armor	・ 10% Chance to disarm melee attacker on hit ・ Agility +1, Perception +1

The Mantis Armor is a great choice for tankier builds focusing on Unarmed, Melee, or Heavy Weapons as the 10% chance to disarm melee attackers helps increase survivability.

This armor also adds +1 Agility and Perception, which is useful for Endurance builds that usually don't have enough points to invest in those two stats.

Best Starting Stats

Freefall Armor to Ignore Fall Damage

Unique Armor Set	Base Armor Set	Bonuses
Freefall Armor	Combat Armor	・ When both Freefall Legs are equipped, prevents null damage ・ When both Freefall Legs are equipped, prevents null damage

Freefall Armor are two leg pieces that, when worn together, completely ignores fall damage from any height.

This is very useful when traversing the ruined buildings in the Central Boston area, particularly Trinity Tower where you can rescue and recruit Strong as a companion.
