v. BODY ARMOUR

Gear up in Risk of Rain Returns! Explore the best body armour, from Denim Overalls to the powerful Assault Armor, with stats, costs, and locations to maximize your defense.

Alright, let's talk about keeping your squishy insides from becoming a mess in Risk of Rain Returns. Body armour is super important, and luckily, there are tons of options to find and buy. We'll go through the rundown so you know what to look for and when it's worth your hard-earned Gold.

Think of body armour as your first line of defense. The higher the DEF stat, the more damage you'll shrug off. Some of these are just straight-up purchases, while others you'll need to hunt down from specific enemies or in tough dungeons. Let's break down what's available:

Pro Tip: Keep an eye on those 'Drop' and specific location notes! Sometimes the best gear isn't just sitting in a shop. If you're heading into Devil's Tower, for instance, grabbing the Aramid Cover or Tiny Armored Leotard as you climb can be a huge defensive boost. And if you see a UFO Scout, try to take it down for that Flight Suit!

Don't forget that some of the higher-tier suits, like the Metallic Suit and Assault Armor, are specifically for 'Soldr' types. Make sure you're equipping the right kind of character!
