Your spacesuit also counts as your armor in Starfield. Here’s the best armor, and where you can get it.
The best armor in Starfield comes down more or less to one thing: whatever spacesuit you’re wearing. Yes, helmets and packs grant defensive bonuses — and often match your spacesuits in a set — but it’s your spacesuits that define the bulk of your armor rating. In other words, if you’re looking for the best armor in the game, you’re also looking for the best spacesuits.
The only problem is Starfield is littered with armor to loot, most of which is simply a bit naff. Who wants to don some dead Spacer’s sweaty spacesuit when you could be finding some pristine armor with top class stats? That’s where we come in. Without further ado, here best suits in Starfield and how to get them.The Best Armor in Starfield
If you know where to look, you can find the best armor in Starfield, and some of it is actually quite easy to obtain early on in your spacefaring career. At a glance, here are the best spacesuits in the game, many of which also come with accompanying packs and helmets:
Mark I Spacesuit
Gran-Gran’s Spacesuit
Mercury Spacesuit
Mantis Spacesuit
Starborn Spacesuit
Unlike the best ships and the best weapons, there are far fewer skills related to the best armor — the only one you should consider investing in is Spacesuit Design, in the second tier of Science, as it will allow you to craft better mods if any of these choices don’t come with everything you desire.Mark I Spacesuit, Helmet, and Pack
How to get it: Loot in the basement of The Lodge, in New Atlantis
Kicking things off is a spacesuit, helmet, and pack you can actually get from within The Lodge itself. The powerful Mark I spacesuit is available without needing to kill anyone or complete any quests. Now you’re meant to require a Master knowledge of digipicking to be able to get this armor, but at the time of writing, there is a cheeky exploit you can use without needing to pick any locks at all.
