Robot armor is a set of armor item in Fallout 4. The other two grades are robot armor and sturdy robot armor.
Background[]
First created by the Rust Devils, robot armor is essentially a better metal armor crafted from destroyed robots. Although heavier than the standard post-War metal armor, it offers more protection against ballistic and energy weapons.[1]
Characteristics[]
Only dropped by non-robotic enemies from the Automatron DLC. Although made for robots, these armor segments have been adapted for use by humans. Functionally it's very similar to Metal armor with a tiny bit of extra ballistic protection and more energy protection in the torso and legs.
Sadly, there are no variations in appearance, even with the "Polished" (the highest) upgrade.
Standard[]
The standard or light version of the armor is made out of lightweight elements salvaged from destroyed Assaultrons and sentry bots. It protects the upper torso, shoulders, and thigh.
Sturdy[]
A baseline variant, incorporating much of the plating from destroyed robots. Protects the limbs and the entire torso area.
Heavy[]
A modified sturdy version, with additional armored plating and reinforcements welded or bolted onto the armor.
Base Stats[]
- All three helmets can be used with the set interchangeably.

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.
