Leather armor is a piece of armor in Fallout 2.

Background

The following section is transcluded from Leather armor. To modify, please edit the source page.

This leather armor is based on pre-War armor designed for Motorcycle Football and other dangerous contact sports. The simple construction techniques required to produce armor of this design made it a popular choice following the Great War. It provides moderate protection, and the light construction makes it easier to dodge attacks while worn. Unfortunately, it provides little to no protection against explosions or plasma attacks.^[1]

The principal material used to construct leather armor after the war is tanned brahmin hide,^[2] making it cheap and readily available to nearly anyone.

Characteristics

A good starting armor and a definite upgrade from the leather jacket. Good all-around armor, especially since it's available in an upgraded variant.

Variants

Leather armor Mk II: Better protection.

Locations

Vendors

Klamath: Sold by Sajag and Maida Buckner.

Behind the scenes

Early concept art shows that the armor was supposed to have a helmet. This was scrapped before release.
Furthermore, this is the oldest suits implemented in the game, part of it before the game was even called Fallout.

The leather armor was part of Fallout even before it was named Fallout.
