There are three variants of metal armor: standard, sturdy and heavy. Similar to other armor sets, metal armor changes appearance with mods for instance, polished metal armor will appear shiny and reflective. Like with all other armor pieces, each can be worn over clothing to combine the stat bonuses, however, certain outfits may occupy some or all of the armor slots - for instance, the red dress occupies legs and torso slots. Metal armor consists of six separate pieces - the chest, two arms, two legs as well as a matching helmet.
