Sturdy raider armor (Fallout 4)

 is an armor set-type item in Fallout 4.

Background
Raiders are masters of improvisation and their armor is testament to that fact. Crafted out of salvaged junk and industrial equipment, raider armor is thick, unwieldy, and provides excellent protection from environmental hazards, thanks to the jutting pipes arranged to form a protective cage, not unlike a car rollover protection structure. The armor sets offer modest combat protection, but are excellent in surviving the hazards of scavenging and exploration.

A more developed variant of raider armor, the sturdy armor builds on the regular variant by adding increases amounts of metal plates and wire to existing plates and adding additional plates to the thighs. The main assembly is fitted with a complete protective cage enclosing the head, with the main air tank moved to the front rack and spares kept on the waistband.

Characteristics
Standard Sturdy Raider is one step higher than regular Raider armor with the Buttressed mod. This allows going up through the various Material upgrades again for even greater protection. However, all of the regular Raider armor mods are compatible with Sturdy Raider armor, so simply remove a Buttressed mod and add it to Sturdy Raider armor and right away you have Buttressed Sturdy Raider armor without having to make a new Buttressed mod or having to find one.

Base Stats
This set does not have a helmet.

Modifications
This item has the following modification slots: Material, Misc. All numbers are relative to the base stats.
 * Material mods can't be swapped between arms and legs, even though they cost the same and provide the same bonuses.
 * Misc mods that are available to both arms and legs can be swapped.
 * You can find Muffled arms as loot, but this is a bug. If the Muffled mod is removed from the arms, it cannot be re-added. It also likely provides no benefit on the arms.

Misc (Limbs)
Recommendations:
 * Always skip the Welded mod for the limbs since Tempered weighs the same.
 * Torso Misc mods tend to give more benefit for the same cost in materials.

Locations

 * Raider armor is dropped by raiders.
