Every armor type in protection order, with the recipe for each piece, the armor rating from the game files, whether it breaks, and where the Ancient Armor is.
Best armor
Solafite Armor — armor rating 130 in the game files, ahead of Tech Armor's 100.
Does it break?
Yes, piece by piece — except the Ancient Armor, which never breaks.
Bone vs Creepy
Creepy protects more; only Bone upgrades into Solafite.
Armor slots
10 — arms, legs, torso and head. A better piece replaces a worse one.
Tiers are ours, built on the wiki's protection order. The Ancient Armor sits apart: it never breaks and shines against demons, but it reduces damage rather than blocking it.
Best
Strong
Early only
Most protection first. The game doesn't show the number, but every slot armor has an armor rating in its files; those are shown here, marked game. The Ancient Armor has none — it is an outfit — and its damage cut is the wiki's, marked wiki.
Outside the order — an outfit for all 10 slots that cuts damage by 30 % from cannibals and mutants and 70 % from demons (wiki), and never breaks.
Each of the 6 slot armors fits the same 10 body slots in the files: head, torso, left bicep, right bicep, left forearm, right forearm, left thigh, right thigh, left shin, right shin. That is where the 10× in a full-set recipe comes from. Warmth is the armor's thermal protection rating; Hide Armor (5) stands above the baseline of 1.
| Armor | Armor rating | Warmth rating | Body slots |
|---|---|---|---|
 Solafite Armor | 130 | 1 | 10 |
 Tech Armor | 100 | 1 | 10 |
 Creepy Armor | 80 | 1 | 10 |
 Bone Armor | 65 | 1 | 10 |
 Hide Armor | 40 | 5 | 10 |
 Leaf Armor | 25 | 1 | 10 |
Recipes are per piece; craft them in your inventory. The full-set line multiplies by the 10 armor slots.
The most protection of any armor — armor rating 130 in the game files.
Recipe
A full set of Bone Armor
12× Solafite OreAn end-game upgrade of Bone Armor in the Gold Armor Plater. Mine the Solafite with the pickaxe first; while the plater works, mutants attack in two waves.
Does it break? Yes — like every slot armor, each piece soaks up hits until it breaks.
Second only to Solafite — armor rating 100 in the game files.
Recipe — per piece
1× Tech Mesh (3D-printed, 250 ml resin)
1× Wire
1× Circuit Board
1× Batteries
1× Duct TapeFull set of 10: 10× Tech Mesh, 10× Wire, 10× Circuit Board, 10× Batteries, 10× Duct Tape
The least cost-effective set — every piece needs a printed Tech Mesh plus pricey parts. Wearing all ten pieces earns the Dynamo achievement.
Does it break? Yes — each piece soaks up hits until it breaks.
Third-best armor, above Bone — armor rating 80 in the game files.
Taken from creepy mutants — any of them except mutant babies. No crafting needed.
The strongest armor you can get without a 3D printer or Solafite; its armor notches show magenta on the HUD.
Does it break? Yes — it takes several hits from weaker enemies before it breaks.
More protection than Hide Armor, less than Creepy — no warmth or stealth.
Recipe — per piece
4× Bone1× Duct Tape
1× RopeFull set of 10: 40× Bone, 10× Duct Tape, 10× Rope
Cheap — bones lie around the island and caves, and burning a cannibal's body leaves more. It is the armor the Gold Armor Plater turns into Solafite Armor.
Does it break? Yes — each piece soaks up hits until it breaks; keep spare bones, tape and rope.
More protection than Leaf Armor, with some stealth and warmth.
Recipe — per piece
2× Animal Hide
1× ClothFull set of 10: 20× Animal Hide, 10× Cloth
Keeps you warm in the cold; you need to hunt animals for the hides.
Does it break? Yes — each piece soaks up hits until it breaks.
The least protection of any armor — but a stealth bonus while sneaking.
Recipe — per piece
10× Leaves1× ClothFull set of 10: 100× Leaves, 10× Cloth
The easiest armor to craft; replace it as soon as you have bones or hides.
Does it break? Yes — each piece soaks up hits until it breaks.
Damage reduction, not slot armor: 30 % against cannibals and mutants, 70 % against demons (wiki).
Deep in the Golden Armor Cave (the wiki's Cultist Cave), inside the crashed spacecraft towards the end of it. No keycard needed.
One outfit that replaces every armor slot. Once the Gold Armor Plater coats it in Solafite, it is the key to the gate into the magma caverns of the VIP Bunker.
Does it break? Never. But putting it on moves your current armor to the inventory, and any damaged piece is destroyed.
Find the gear the caves ask for — see all key-item locations (keycards, the pickaxe for Solafite, and more), scout them on the interactive map, every other recipe on the crafting page, or gear up first with the best weapons.
15 clothing items in the game files besides the Ancient Armor, with the slots each one takes. The files hold no protection number for them, so none is shown. Where the map has a pin for one, it links to it.
Yes — all of it except the Ancient Armor. Your health bar is ringed by 10 segments, one per armor piece, each coloured by its type. A hit is soaked up by your armor pieces until they break; with no armor left, hits go straight to health.
Creepy Armor vs Bone ArmorCreepy protects more; Bone is the one you can upgrade.
Ancient Armor vs Creepy ArmorAncient never breaks and is best against demons; Creepy is real slot armor that wears out.
Solafite Armor vs Tech ArmorSolafite is stronger; Tech skips the mutant fight but costs printer resin and bunker parts.
Hide Armor vs Leaf ArmorHide protects more and keeps you warm; Leaf is easier to make and quieter.
