How to get the covert scout armor?

[Salem Graves]

There's info online but it's all years old so I just want to confirm here. Daily ops elder rank has a chance to drop the plans right? Is there any other way to get it? Can you get it from enclave events?

DailyOps or Minerva only.

There is a very lot chance if you don’t get elder.

The problem is, you have no way of aiming at this specific set from DailyOps, because there are so many different possible drops.

Strong suggestion: Do DailyOPs, sure, but start saving gold bullion from events for when Minerva has it in her rotation, if possible at one of her big sale discounts.

At best, you can buy the missing parts then, at worst, you spend all your bullion on all of the parts.

Edit: Scratch that, at worst you don;t have enough bullion when the sale comes around, but that's a different issue.

When you're stealthy and sneaky, the idea is to not get hit at all, so DR doesn't factor in hugely as long as you can take a hit when you DO get discovered.

DR has diminishing returns at any rate, so very high DR gets less and less worth the investment to get more.

I do believe most of the covert armors built sneak bonuses are not better or worse than modded other options and are even made "redundant"* by things such as Escape Expert - it just looks rad AF.

* As far as I can tell stealth stacks infinitely, but it doesn't really matter after a certain threshold (kinda like damage reduction), because you don't get more invisible to enemies than invisible if that makes sense.
You can sit in front of a (unaware) super mutant without the covert stealth armor provided you specced everything correctly, so in such cases, the armor itself doesn't add anything.

Edit: might be wrong on some things, and recent changes have boned me several times now, so grain of salt and all that, possibly wait for clarifications/ corrections from sure people.

AngryTurtle has several videos and 2024 revisits of stealth builds. You'll want CSA everything, except chest, which you'll want SS so you can have a jetpack, because jetpacking outweighs stealth in coolness :)

A lot of grind that you'll find the chinese stealth suit would have been just fine.

I have all the pieces on two characters. I didn't grind for it but we're still talking hundreds of daily ops.

If you see it from minnerva, buy it. Otherwise don't waste your time OP, you'll end up hating the game grinding like that.
