Heavy leather armor is a set of armor in Fallout 76.
Background[]
One of the many, many variants of leather armor finely crafted from tanned brahmin hide. The heavy variant is essentially a full body suit. The central piece is a full leather jack with a pair of medieval-type pauldrons, worn together with a bandoleer with three pouches, chest carrying straps with small storage pockets, a large utility belt with more carry pouches, and terminates in a groin protector. The legs are protected by chaps from hardened leather covering their entire length, with additional protective leather elements sown on the thighs, knees, and shins for extra protection. The arms are the least protected element, with just elbow pads and large forearms.
Characteristics[]
Leather armor consists of five different pieces, one for each limb, and a Chest. They can be worn over clothing with ease and can be modified . All in all, it's a highly modifiable suit of armor that offers a balanced level of protection.
