Sturdy leather armor is an armor set-type item in Fallout 4.

Background

One of the many, many variants of leather armor finely crafted from tanned brahmin hide. The sturdy variant consists of two large auxiliary and shoulder protectors, set up asymmetrically, with the larger once on the right. A bandoleer with three pockets holds up a large, treated leather flap covering the heart and right lung, a set of chest carry belts and pouches, and a waist utility belt. The belt contains no less than two carry pouches on the sides, two ammunition pouches on the back, and a groin protector. The set is completed by large forearm protectors, shin guards, leather knee pads, and most important, thigh protectors enclosing the entire side.

Characteristics

Leather armor consists of five different pieces that make up the entire set, one for each limb, and as well as a torso piece. They can be worn over thin clothing with ease, and can be modified with standard armor mods, although only material mods change the armor's appearance. Leather armor is tilted more toward protection against energy weapons, although it does protect against ballistic based weaponry.

Leather armor provides benefits to players who prefer stealth, since it offers a "Shadowed" upgrade, which makes the player harder to see in the dark, and it is lightweight, which, according to the in-game tips, also benefits stealth. Although all these leather armor variants are post-War creations, they are usually found sporadically and need to be purchased or looted. Of course, one may choose to opt for the leather coat.

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.
