The easiest to craft when you ignore the dangers of getting the resources is the Metal Armor.

Why? All it takes to get Metal Armor is 4 good metal pieces which take only 4 HQ Ores. Then if you want to go to Metal Markll YOu just need 1 more good metal peice. In total 5 Good Metal pieces to get decent armor.

there IS talk of adding brahmin hides and stuff to the requirements, so enjoy it while it lasts !

It's my favorite right now as well.

adding brahmin hides
Then also changing brahmins at bases/caves, because you'll have infinite number of hides because of reproductive-like-rabbits brahmins, and you don't need to pick thier hide after death, because it's cumulative death after death, so if you kill brahmin 10 times, he'll have 10 hides on him, you can even put in his body some items for fun (like dynamite) and he'll respawn with these items in inventory. So I hope it'll be gecko pelts, not brahmin ;p

The best is Combat Leather Jacket. Why? Because you look cool in it and you still get a pretty decent protection for an low tier armour

the best armor is Tesla armor... all you need is 2 psycho, 2 toughness and tesla armor and you are almost unstopable...

Have you seen the cost of making Tesla Armor, to the crafter it is not worth it unless there is someone else helping him gather all those resources.

Metal armor. Looks bad ass (seriously who doesn't like looking like the "other guys" in mad max) and is technically easier to get then even the leather armors IMO, it just takes a bit of cleverness and timing to not hit the wrong mine at the wrong time and get killed for the resaurces you just mined up on your way out the door. Comparably the leather armor variants, all of them, require a lot more luck - you need to find brahmin hide by either trading for it or killing brahmin oviously, similarly the gecko hide, and lastly the fibers which for whatever reason I have terrible luck getting heh - I either never see it at all or see it ALL THE TIME but for whatever reason don't have a knife on me at the time heh.

So yeah metal armor - rugged, reliable and readily available with only a little danger involved in gettign the things required to make it. Lastly it's readily upgradable as well to it's superior MK II variant. It's definitely the best all around armor as a result in my books anyway.

Best armor period would probably go to combat armor in non-doping characters or Tesla in doping builds with the right drugs naturally. Both those armors are a lot more difficult to acquire though as well.

Tesla can be easly pwned with good eye crits and armor bypasses. My vote goes to MA (tho i mean MA MK2 also); it is RIDICULOUSLY easy to craft. MA is easyer than leather jacket, just one run to HQ mine and voila. Its also a decent armor. 20 times easyer to get than BA and not MUCH worse.

Metal Armor is easy to get, but the problem lies with the HQ ores. Unless you're prepared to die then getting those ores are the hardest thing to do if you arent lucky.

I Agree, gathering HQ resources without any support in a mine is like a gambling in casino with 20% gambling skill. for a begginer level merchant/crafter like me there is no place, however it seems to be a great place to die with a sledgehammer in your hand. so its not so cheap for a newbe...

And did you seen psycho miniguner with 2 toughness and tesla armor?

Yes but with good crits you can easily bypass power armor too... but it's not about armor quality it's about shooters luck...

Metal Armor MK II. Little he costs, he has the big resistance as well as it is easy to do him.

Well I'll pass the discussion about which one is the best since any leather armor makes all your arguments invalid. There is nothing bore badass than bastard in leather armor. Its awesomeness beats even (A)PA. Too bad they are not that effective in combat tho, otherwise we would rule the wasteland in leather  8).

From this poll list of couse it's Robes.
You see 10 guys armed with cool guns in metal armor, yes, it's scary.
You see 10 guys armed with cool guns in CA/BA, it's even more scary.
You see 10 guys armed with cool guns and everyone in Robes, running around with minignus and rocketlaunchers, that's just insane, enemies will be confused when see an army of people in robes.

I like Combat Leather Jacket (much DR, with 2x tougness is almost like brotherhood armor) and Tesla Armor (plasma nades? are you kidding me?).

Lol, you must mean thong and cape right? I'd vote that for the best armor, assuming my character is jacked and tanned.
