How to get solar armor in Fallout 76

There are many different types of armor in Fallout 76. While you might start your journey by exiting Vault 76 and collecting armor made of wood or leather, by the end of the game you’ll have power armor with legendary effects. One of these special armor sets is the solar armor. This special armor looks like it’s being devoured by strangling tendrils. Don’t worry, his ability is quite worthwhile.

Solar armor effects

Considered one of the better armor sets in Fallout 76, the Solar Armor will give you health regeneration if you wear the full set. This health regeneration is only effective when you are above 60% health and also affects your nearby teammates. The complete armor set consists of chest, leg, arm and head pieces. The head armor is a separate set from the solar armor set and is in the same section as the other pieces.

Like other special armor pieces, the Solar Armor is purchased with Gold Bars from Regs in Vault 79. Each piece of armor is sold separately, with the entire set costing a reasonable amount of gold. The pieces cost the following amounts:

• chest – 1,000 gold bars
• Left arm – 750 gold bars
• Left leg – 750 gold bars
• Right arm – 750 gold bars
• Right leg – 750 gold bars

While this covers all body parts, you still need to buy the part for the head. The headgear is also purchased from Regs but is marked as Vault 94 Scout Armor Mask. This piece will cost you an additional 1,650 gold bars. The entire armor set will cost you 5,650 gold bars. While the headpiece fits solar armor, it also works with other armor sets such as the Thorn Armor. If you’re lucky, you can sometimes buy Minerva’s armor set when she appears.
