Robot armor is a set of armor in Fallout 4, with the other two variants being the sturdy robot armor and heavy robot armor.

Background

First created by the Rust Devils, robot armor is an objectively more defensible metal armor variant crafted from the remains of destroyed robots. Although heavier than standard post-War metal armor, these suits offer more protection against ballistic and energy weapons.

Characteristics

Only dropped by non-robotic enemies from the Automatron DLC, these suits of armor have been adapted for use by humans. Functionally, they're very similar to Metal armor with extra ballistic protection and more energy protection.

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.
