Understanding Resistance Stats

To make informed decisions about your armor choices, it’s essential to grasp the significance of each resistance stat:

Physical Resistance

Physical resistance reduces the damage taken from physical attacks, such as bullets and melee strikes.

Energy Resistance

Energy resistance mitigates harm from energy-based weapons, like lasers and plasma guns.

EM Resistance

EM resistance safeguards you from electromagnetic interference and attacks.

Thermal Resistance

Thermal resistance protects against extreme heat and fire damage.

Corrosive Resistance

Corrosive resistance shields you from corrosive substances and acid attacks.

Airborne Resistance

Airborne resistance defends against toxins and hazardous gases present in certain environments.

Radiation Resistance

Radiation resistance counters the harmful effects of radiation found in contaminated areas.

Making Informed Choices

Selecting the right armor in Starfield depends on your playstyle and the challenges you expect to face. Whether you prefer agile hit-and-run tactics or prefer to stand your ground as a tank, there’s an armor type suited to your needs.
