In your fight against the Deviants and gunmen inOnce Human, you’ll need the proper weapons and armor. As you travel and accomplish different quests, you may find blueprints of various pieces of gear. While it’s tempting to craft cool armor blueprints you just found, it’s not enough to just consider how snazzy you’ll look in them.
Armor doesn’t just offer protection from damage and pollution. Different pieces also grant special buffs. Certain pieces of armor are parts of a set, and having more pieces in a set will unlock powerful buffs and abilities. There are plenty of sets but only the best ones are worth using expensive crafting materials for.
1Bastille Set
From the Wish Machine.
This set is all about dealing maximum damage with your guns. The increase in weapon damage by ten percent makes this a great lone piece to have when you’re running a different set. The Bastille’s biggest damage buff comes in, however, after having three pieces.
Holding your position for 0.5 seconds grants you a massive 40 percent increase in weapon damage. The downside is that leaving this state heavily brings down your mobility, but that makes this a good set if someone else can soak up enemy fire for you.
2Lonewolf Set
If you’re focused on a build that benefits from high Crit Damage and Crit Rate, the Lonewolf Set is what you need. At two pieces, this set grants an additional five percent in Crit Rate. The three-piece Lonewolf set is where you’ll see Crit Damage spikes thanks to Lone Shadow that can grant Crit Damage boosts of up to 48 percent.
Getting a fourth only makes this set better by allowing you two more stacks of Lone Shadow and a Crit Rate buff of eight percent after reloading.
3Falcon Set
Mystical Treasures in the Red Sands region.
The Falcon Set is an easier way to get additional Crit Damage. With two pieces, you can immediately enjoy a 12 percent increase in Crit Damage. With three pieces, you’ll be granted a five percent increase in Crit Rate and a whopping twenty percent increase in Crit Damage.
This set runs on high stamina because you’ll need over 90 percent of your stamina for the three-piece buff to kick in. Thankfully, the one-piece buff already grants you the freedom to roll with a reduced stamina cost.
4Savior Set
If you’re struggling with staying on your feet while going on Silo runs, the Savior set isn’t a bad option to run. It’s not advised to use this set if you’re meant to be the damage dealer of your team, but it will make you a good medic.
This set is all about keeping you alive thanks to quicker medicine cooldowns, automaticActivatoruse at three pieces, and increased agility and defense at four pieces after you use an Activator. This is great for dungeons that limit the number of times that you can use anAdrenaline Shot.
5Renegade Set
With its focus on weakspot damage and buffs when targeting a single enemy, the Renegade set works amazingly in battles against bosses or elites. The power of this set can be seen by the second piece you equip which grants you a ten percent increase in weakspot damage.
By the third piece, you can enjoy Archer’s Focus which will increase your weakspot damage up to 40 percent when you hit a single enemy consecutively. If you’re using an automatic weapon, the fourth piece will also be useful because it grants reload buffs for every weakspot hit.
6Heavy Duty Set
Mystical Treasures in the Chalk Peak region.
This set is great if you’re using weapons that focus on elemental damage. It only becomes useful at a minimum of two pieces, because only then are you granted an eight percent increase in elemental damage.
Getting a third piece is also great because killing an enemy will grant a 20 percent increase in movement speed and a huge boost in elemental damage by 40 percent. While this decays over eight seconds, this is a long period where you can deal serious damage.
7Shelterer Set
The Shelterer set is an even better option when it comes to dealing elemental damage. At two-pieces, your elemental damage will increase by eight percent. The set gets even better when you get four pieces.
This set only needs you to hit enemies to trigger its effects, making it better than the Heavy Duty set.
A three-piece Shelterer set will allow you to start gaining stacks of Deviant Energy. Your elemental damage increases by one percent per stack, and it can reach up to twenty stacks. Getting a fourth piece increases the limit by ten with weakspot hits granting two stacks.
8Agent Set
Mystical Treasures in the Iron River region.
For those who like being precise with their gunfire, the Agent set can be a very rewarding choice. This set rewards you for hitting the weakspots of enemies. With two pieces, you are granted a ten percent increase in weakspot damage.
Three pieces gives you the Bullet Saver effect when you get a precise kill. This increases your weakspot damage by 15 percent, and this can stack up to three times. It gets better when you get a fourth piece. Every kill gives you a +20 percent in reload speed and every weakspot kill grants a +10 percent fire rate.
