In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, armor sets differ from typical RPGs because you don't receive bonuses for equipping multiple pieces from the same set. Instead, sets are often named after the locations where you find them, with exceptions like Twitch drops and pre-order sets. Here, we'll explore the best armor sets available, focusing on protection and stealth.
Best Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Best Armor Sets for Protection

The Praguer Guard Armor isn't chosen for its stats alone but for its utility in the late-game quest, "Reckoning." Wearing this armor allows you to navigate the camp freely without being questioned or attacked, making it invaluable for completing the quest without the need for stealth. Additionally, it offers robust defense with stats like 269 stab resistance, 312 slash resistance, and 146 blunt resistance, depending on its quality.
Cuman Armor
Obtained from enemies in the Kuttenberg Region during the "Bellatores" side quest, the Cuman Armor is ideal for combat-heavy quests. While it's not suited for stealth due to high noise and conspicuousness, it provides good protection with 149 stab resistance, 181 slash resistance, and 65 blunt resistance, based on its quality.
Milanese Cuirass Armor
Available for purchase from merchants in Kuttenberg City, the Milanese Cuirass Armor is a solid choice for defense. Its availability rotates every 7 in-game days, and while expensive, it offers 392 stab resistance, 286 slash resistance, and 100 blunt resistance, depending on quality. Be mindful of its weight if you're managing multiple sets.
Vavak Soldier Armor

Acquired by robbing Vavak's soldiers during the quest to find Rosa's book, the Vavak Soldier Armor provides strong stab and slash defense, particularly from pieces like the head and gloves. It offers 352 stab resistance, 264 slash resistance, and 99 blunt resistance, based on quality.
Brunswick Armor
Exclusive to those who pre-ordered the game and completed the "Lion's Crest" side quest, the Brunswick Armor is the best early-game set available before Semine's wedding. It provides exceptional protection with 704 stab resistance, 567 slash resistance, and 239 blunt resistance when wearing the full set.
Best Armor for Stealth
Cutpurse Armor
The Cutpurse Armor, obtained through Twitch drops, is ideal for stealth but not widely available unless future events allow re-earning past drops. It offers 24 stab resistance, 53 slash resistance, and 54 blunt resistance when wearing the complete set.
Overall Best Armor
The most effective approach in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is to mix and match armor pieces to suit your specific build needs. While full sets look good in cutscenes, they don't offer combat advantages. Armor is crucial for reducing damage, but don't overlook the importance of choosing the best weapons to complement your gear. With skill in combat, you might find that a sword, shield, and a basic armor set are all you need to navigate the game's challenges successfully.
