How do you get thousands rated armor?

[Napoleonic S]

I'm level 31 and I have less than 600 armor, I only use armor from loot, I want to know how do people get armor rated to the thousands? Is there some hidden mechanics or what? Because the descrepancy is huge.

[Moga CMDR]

you can get gear that has 4 slots for mods, for one. That will boost armor stats a lot.

Also.. I think there is a body spec that increases armor % of your armor too. Those are the main things.

Armor does have a base cap. So after that it is all mods! and your bonuses!

So yes, 6.5k is possible. But with all legendary gear, 4 slots, and enhanced to max. Plus your persk.

There are legendary armor drops around the map. lele park has a clothing store where you can buy high level armor mods.
If you got most of these and slotted these mods, having 2500+ armor is not very hard. Most high level armor mods are cheap. Or you can do some missions where you can craft them yourself.

Also just want to mention, 600 armor knocks the damage down very low and leaves a ton of slots open for more interesting things.

I get the 6000 armor thing makes for 500k views on YouTube, but it is also superfluous.

Edit: I think I finished the game at 1200 armor. I said 600 above, which I recall as being comfortable for me at the time. YMMV.

Why would you waste armor slots on armor buffs when you can fill 'em up with all legendary bully mods that give 15% crit chance and 30% bonus crit damage?

[H.Honor]

You need to find the armadillo crafting recipe craft bunch of it till you have the purple ones
and slot into your armor with max mod slots

[ULTRA]

Legendary (gold) armor, i.e. with 4 slots
Occupy each slot with highest possible armadillo mod (epic, purple)
Search for perks that increase armor, many in body
Max tech, especially the crafting tree

With high body and tech you can become more or less immune to nonphysical effects via cyberware and have armor so high that conventional damage only hits you for 1 (out of 800+) hp. You essentially can't die from combat if you set it up properly.

Because most other mods currently either don't work, or don't stack

Evasion doesn't work, movement speed doesn't work
Cirt %, Crit DMG and Fall Damage don't work past the first one
Resistance and Oxygen are pointless

Even armor is poorly done anyway
4000 armor on very hard will reduce incoming damage for only 43%
But it's still BiS because you don't need 1000000 damage

Techy + armor bonus is also bugged and only adds 0.05% when it should add 5%

1500 v 3000 armor is little change damage wise. Best I can tell is an armor around 1500-1800 and the rest in damage over time.

purple grade is 2 slot - _ -
gold grade can be 3 slot
you better just save before craft
you must made 3 - 5 attemp to just get 1 gold grade is full of slot.
if not got it - _ -
load that save files and do again

But - _ -
no way to attemp and got 3 slot item by @ once
i spend.. like a hour

to try to get 3 slot .. thing
and it need at least 2 attemp craft.

well - _ -
dont craft much . it will huge rise your files size

if you play just easy mode . only 1500 you can just walk to punch enemy - _ -. even a boss
but if you scare up to hard or very hard

1500 is very little. they can just 1 - 2 shot you .
better just over 2k .

Thanks. Just playing on normal for now, I should have thought of that when I replied to the OP.
