Synth Armor is a type of armor set in Fallout 4.

Background

Synth Armor is a type of combat armor plating created by the Institute for their First and Second Generation Synth soldiers deployed in the Commonwealth.

Gameplay

It comes in regular, sturdy, and heavy variants, with each successive tier being much stronger and heavier. Compared to regular Combat Armor, the regular Synth Armor has less ballistic resistance but more energy resistance. The sturdy and heavy variants are stronger than the respective combat armor variants but weigh slightly more.

It can be upgraded with pocketed, cushioned, strengthened, lead-lined, and Synth Armor Mods.

Locations

Can be found on various Generation 1 and Generation 2 Synth soldiers throughout the Commonwealth. Dirty variants of Synth Armor are worn by Synths at:

• Mahkra Fishpacking
• University Point
• The Institute

Notes

• The regular Synth Armor Left Arm does not show on the player character, because its only part is in the same wrist slot as the Pip-Boy. Unequipping the Pip-Boy with console commands and then equipping the left arm shows the same wrist armor that normally appears for the right arm.
• Synth Armor sourced from within The Institute has a newer, cleaner finish compared to the weathered appearance of Synth Armor sourced from above ground. The dirty variant is sold by the Institute for the player character.
• "Clean" versions can also be obtained from "Outpost Defense" Railroad radiant quests.
• The Synths Z4K-97B, XPN-20A and A-2018 in the Institute Reactor use models of a unique Shadowed Heavy Synth Armor that cannot be looted or otherwise obtained by the player character.
• In the Armor Workbench the empty misc mod slot is at the bottom of the list, but disappears once a misc mod is added to the armor. This means if one has a leaded Synth right arm it is impossible to make it into a regular Synth right arm.

Behind the Scenes

In the Creation Club "U.S. Army" and "Brotherhood of Steel" armor paint packs, created by modder Skibadaa in collaboration with Bethesda, Synth Armor is identified by multiple designations. When the U.S. Army paint is applied, it is identified as a U.S. Army prototype designated "MX55-1-■■". When the Brotherhood of Steel paint is applied, it is identified as recovered armor designated "SYN/X-7KvP".
