Fallout 4 has a lot of opportunities for acquiring armor: buying from a merchant, stealing items, killing an enemy and just finding it. This article will focus on the synth armor. Where can I get it and what modes are associated with it.
The role of armor in the game
There are lots of armor in Fallout 4: synth armor, raiders, various factions, and power. The latter view is used as a separate means of transportation, since it is not in the inventory.
The synth armor in Fallout 4 is connected with the synths themselves - these are synthetic copies of people whom the Institute introduces into the Commonwealth under the guise of ordinary people. They do not age, but they are able to feel and experience various kinds of emotions.
Raider armor can be found anywhere - from various hiding places to the corpses of the same raiders. It looks like rusty parts that protect certain parts of the body.
Each faction has a certain style, so to speak. For example, the Brotherhood of Steel uses armor with protective colors to bring it as close as possible to military models. It can only be bought from the Brotherhood of Steel, on the airship.
Each armor wears clothing that has minimal protection, but must be present. Armor itself is improved by materials found or purchased in the Wasteland. For these purposes, a workbench is used.
Description
In Fallout 4, the synth armor consists of six parts: this is the right arm sleeve, left arm sleeve, torso protection, right leg gait, left leg gait and helmet. Each of the parts can be modified using certain materials.
When a player first meets with representatives of the institute, you can see on them an unusual kind of armor that looks like a futuristic robe. There are three types of synth armor in Fallout 4.
The first type of armor is light equipment, which weighs less than a standard instance and allows you to be less noticeable with hidden attacks.
Strong armor represents the golden mean. It has medium protection and weight parameters.
The heavy look of synth armor in Fallout 4 can absorb more enemy damage. It also weighs more than other types of armor.
If you do not use modifications that add alternative armor to the game, then the synth armor can be called the most durable and stylish. Also in the game you will notice that there are two sets of equipment - dirty and clean. A dirty kit will come across everywhere and dirt and rust will be visible on it. As for the clean kit, without any plaque, it can only be seen in places untouched by the explosion.
Where can I get it?
There are several suitable options for how to acquire armor of this type.
The first involves the end of the storyline, if you speak out against representatives of the Institute's faction. After completing the main plot quest, the main character is given the opportunity to hunt for synths. After their destruction, you can collect their armor in parts, but its strength depends only on the level of the player. The fact is that the higher the level, the higher the chance of falling out of a heavy kit.
When the storyline is chosen absolutely opposite, in comparison with the first option, then the armor can be purchased from the seller at the Institute.
If there is access to the Brotherhood of Steel merchant, then only a unique bib is sold.
When destroying a legendary enemy, such equipment may fall out of him, despite the fact that the enemy was not a synth. Again, it all depends on the level of the player.
The only option to purchase a clean set of synth armor is to end the storyline by choosing the Institute side. They will be sold by the synth leaders who wear white suits.
There is one nuance that will come in handy for those who want to purchase armor using the console: the codes for it are in one copy, and the game will issue the kit that matches the player’s level.
Mods on the synth armor in Fallout 4
Since there is only one color variation of the armor in the game, the modders decided to dilute this solution by adding a black kit. The black synth armor in Fallout 4 can be seen in the Carbon Synth Armor mod.
After installing this modification, all white armor that exists in the game will turn into black. To create it on a workbench, you will need the presence of a material such as carbon fiber.
Also, this mod fixes a developers flaw. In the game, if you kill a synth with black armor, it is made so that the player removes the synth from the synth, and it turns white. This will not happen again thanks to this mod.
