There are a number of unique Armor pieces to find in The Outer Worlds. Having the right Helmet Armor and Body Armor can go a long way to improving a character’s chances of survival, their skills, and abilities.
The right armor for any given player entirely depends on their playstyle and character build. But these unique pieces offer some of the best chances to keep the character alive in any situation and many improve the damage dealt to the enemy.
10 Wilderness Ops Helmet
The Wilderness Ops Helmet is a great choice for stealthy characters. This is because it offers a +5 boost to all Stealth Skills. This means Sneak, Hack, and Lockpick all get a +5 boost. For lower-level characters this boost is significant.
In addition to the boost to Stealth Skills, the helmet also provides an 84 resistance to all forms of damage. That’s major should the player ever get caught in a firefight and stealth goes out the window. Which makes it strange that this is found in a trash dump near Gorgon Canyon.
9 Cat’s Eye Pressure Helm
The Cat’s Eye Pressure Helm is probably the single best Helmet for aggressive stealthy playthroughs. This is due to an incredible 25% bonus to Sneak Attack Damage. With the right build this can often guarantee one-hit kills from the shadows.
The Helmet also comes with a +5 to Hack which can be very convenient. The 22 resistance to all forms of damage is another nice perk. But honestly when the enemy dies before they even know the player is there, it hardly matters.
8 SugarOps Helmet
The SugarOps Helmet is the kind of armor you’d expect a sugary drink company to hand out to its guards. The player shouldn’t let looks deceive them as it’s actually one of the better Helmets in the game. This is due to its +10% bonus to N-Ray damage and +5% boost to Plasma damage.
Admittedly these are niche weapons but some, especially in the Heavy Weapons category, can do some major damage before these bonuses are even applied. It also comes with a 36 resistance to all forms of damage. Not bad for the purpleberry company.
7 Iconoclast Apostle Helmet
The rebellious Iconoclast’s have one of the best helmets in the game for those who side with the leader Zora during the Commuter quest. The Iconoclast Apostle Helmet comes with a cool +5% bonus to melee damage, the only Helmet in the game to do so.
It also has 29 resistance to all forms of damage which is handy for melee builds. To put it simply, if the player is running a melee build that doesn’t utilize stealth then this is the Helmet they should wear.
6 MSI Elite Helmet
The MSI Elite Helmet is a reward for completing the BOLT-52 quest Sanjar gives out. It provides a 29 resistance to all forms of damage which isn’t terribly significant, but its skill bonus is definitely interesting.
It causes a -10% decrease to ranged weapon spread. This means that weapons with a wide scatter will have their shots more accurately focused. This doesn’t sound like much but being able to concentrate the fire of a Shotgun or Heavy Machine Gun means more bullets strike the target leading to more damage dealt. Which makes it strange that it’s found in a garbage heap in the open world.
5 SugarOps Body Armor
Considering Rizzo is the leader in sugary food and drinks it makes sense that their armor would look utterly ridiculous. That being said their SugarOps Body Armor is a great option for keeping its wearer alive.
It boasts 41 resistance to all forms of damage and comes with a +5 to Defense to avoid taking damage in the first place. It can be further enhanced with mods to increase ranged weapon skills and provide invulnerability. The player will feel silly wearing this but will also find fights are much easier to survive.
4 Wilderness Ops Armor
Wilderness Ops Armor is a solid choice for stealthy types that want survivability when things go wrong. Rewarded during The Electric Fling Side quest it provides a whopping 84 resistance to all forms of damage. It also comes with a +5 to Block to increase Armor Rating while wielding a melee weapon.
It can be modified to decrease the volume of footsteps and how wide of radius those sounds will be. For sheer defense it’s a good choice for anyone and for stealthy melee characters it’s one of the best.
3 Nightfall Squad Armor
Perhaps the best Body Armor for stealthy runs is the Nightfall Squad Armor. Obtained after getting 100% reputation with The Board it provides a number of benefits. There’s the +5 to Stealth Skills, which means Sneak, Hack, and Lockpick get a boost.
The Armor also provides a -50% to Equip Time allowing players to swap weapons faster than usual. Very handy when the player is caught sneaking around and needs a stronger weapon. The armor also has a whopping 54 resistance to all forms of damage.
2 Iconoclast Apostle Armor
The Iconoclast Apostle Armor compliments very well with the Helmet. Earned as a reward for completing Pay For The Printer it grants a +5 to Melee. This means players swinging a weapon stealthily or in broad daylight will receive a damage bonus.
The armor can also be modified to resist shock damage, improve Defense, increase Critical Hit chances with melee weapons, and increase carrying capacity by 20 kg. This is by far the best Body Armor for melee characters and comes with a nice 34 resistance to all forms of damage.
1 MSI Elite Armor
Perhaps the best piece of unique armor in this action RPG is the MSI Elite Armor. It can be found in the world or obtained as a reward for completing Errors Unseen. The reason this armor is so strong is that it provides a +5 to Ranged Weapon Skills. This means lowered Weapon Sway, increased critical hit chance with ranged weapons, and bonuses to Handguns, Long Guns, and Heavy Weapons.
On top of this incredible boost, it has a decent 34 resistance to all forms of damage. Modifications can nudge the physical armor rating to 39, increase the interactable highlight range by five meters, and increase the character’s movement speed while TTD is active. It’s a balanced piece of armor that increases DPS, resiliency, and provides utility outside of combat.
