Armor in Kenshi is extremely important. Don’t you think that you can put on some leather jacket or rag clothes and go up against some Samurai or a Shek Guardian - these encounters 100% of the time will end up badly for you unless you have extremely high stats.

And that’s what we’re gonna talk about today. Best armors that SHOULD keep you alive for longer than 10 seconds and benefit you with other cool buffs. Let’s get started

5. Mask Type III

Spooky.

These creepy masks give you about 26% blunt resistance and 41% cutting resistance and 100% protection against gas/duststorms, making this mask useful even when it’s a prototype. These kinds of masks are useful in regions such as The Great Desert, Border Zone, and any other zone that is very duststorm-friendly. It’s also a must-have if you’re going to zones such as Ashlands, for example, where gas clouds can easily take around 15 HP from your chest.

How to get them:
You can get a blueprint from the Scraphouse or other vendors scattered across the map(it’s randomized, so hard to tell). Or from one of the nobles in The Great Desert.

Why it’s awesome:
-Gives you a huge advantage over people without duststorm protection.
-Protects you against gas.
-Despite it being light armor, masterwork grade gives you impressive protection.
-Makes you look spooky and 100% more intimidating!

4. Dark Leather Shirt

I think it’s the one in the middle… I think… dark doesn’t exactly mean dark in this game!

Dark Leather Shirts are known for their stealth bonus and relatively decent body protection. It’s great for mass production and equipping your army with this piece of armor, though you can also use it if you’re playing with a single character.
