How To Get Armor In Dead Rails Roblox
Armor can be obtained through multiple methods. Here are the primary methods:
- Purchase at Shops: You can purchase armor pieces at the General Store, Gunsmith, and Sheriff Buildings.
- Looting Buildings: You can actively search for armor in abandoned buildings, houses, or towns by exploring shelves, corners, and hidden areas where it may be randomly located. You can loot these places; however, you may have to combat zombies or outlaws.
- Choosing Ironclad Class: Before the game starts, you will be required to select a Class. Selecting the Ironclad Class will spawn your character with a full set of armor (Helmet, Chestplate, Left and Right Shoulder Armor).
- Castle Raids (40,000m): The castle at 40,000m may contain armor pieces. This area will also include other valuable loot, such as weapons and Bonds.
Which Armor To Prioritize First?
Ideally, you should own a full set of armor for optimal protection. However, if funds are limited, prioritize purchasing the Chestplate first, as it offers 17.5% damage reduction and the best value for your money. Complete the full set as soon as possible to gain a 50% damage reduction, especially before entering high-risk areas.
