Armour Guide
There are 3 slots to equip armour,
The first slot is your head, second slot is chest, and third slot is legs.
Armour is important, as it will mitigate damage dealt to those parts of your body.
There are 4 tiers of armour in Mordhau.
Each armour tier has progressing amounts of damage mitigation, at the cost of footspeed.
Cosmetic/T0 items are purely aesthetic, as their name implies.
For example, Heavy Armour will slow you down the most but you can take more punishment. You may mix and match armour tiers in your loadout.

Players commonly refer to their armour loadouts with numerical terms. For example, full heavy (head, torso, legs) would be 3/3/3. Mix match would be 2/3/1. No armour would be 0/0/0, etc.
Which armour should I use?
That depends on your playstyle you would like for this particular loadout. 3/3/3 would be the epitome of’stand your ground’ playstyle’. Whereas 0/0/0 are the’run off and lure playstyle’.
A good deal of players like to hit a balance between both with mixture fitting. Lots of new players are attracted to using small armour & large weapons (like the Chivalry Vanguard).
Beware of the as many weapons can easily cut through Tier 1 & 2 armour. I would recommend at a Tier 3 chest-piece.
Furthermore, if you’re new, put on a helmet. Great players will identify your weakness and target your mind. The helmet and torso/chestpiece are two of the most essential pieces of armour.
