The armor players can buy from vendors inStar Citizenis fairly basic, but it will get the job done for most encounters. If players are looking for unique armor to stand out from the crowd, this guide will showcase a few ways of obtaining the best looking armor and where to find it. Most players will be able to access this armor, even withbasic resources such as a starter ship and equipment.

Bunkers and Outposts
There are many locations around the verse for players to loot and obtain new items. Bunkers and outposts are great locations that have lootable boxes containing many items from sustenance to weapons and armor.
Players can travel to these locations freely and loot the items inside. However,by accepting missions that bring the player directly to these points of interest, they can kill two birds with one stone by completing missions at the same time. Delivery missions will take players to outposts which usually hold 1 or 2 lootable boxes. There is a high chance of these containing unique armor - this is a great option for players who may not be ready to engage in combat with AI enemies. Alternatively, trading commodities will lead the player to these outposts where they can find boxes of armor.

For those who may be slightly more experienced, taking a bunker mission will give the player a slightly better chance of finding special armor as these hold 3 - 5 lootable boxes of different sizes. Typically, weapons and armor will spawn in the large red containers that spawn in designated spots. Once the players learns a few of these spawn locations they can become rather effective at searching the bunker for loot. Be careful not to shoot the guards at these locationsas the player may end up in prison.
To make an entire set of matching armor may take a while, but it’s incredibly rewarding when completed. Players in the game will also pay a large amount to get their hands on a complete set (manufacturer and color), so holding onto odd bits can come in handy later down the line.
In Game Events
In Game Events bring new items and content to the game in the form of missions, experiences and, notably, armor.
For example, the recent Halloween event of 2022 saw the addition of new masks the player could find and equip. These items where losable but those that looted them had a permanent copy added to their account. This means that when 3.18 releases, these players can find the masks in their inventory when they log in.

To get these, players will need to head to outposts and loot the red boxes as previously mentioned. A planet such as Hurston is great for farming these items as it hosts a lot of outposts making it very easy to do multiple trips around the planet and obtain these rare items.
We will have to wait for another in game event that adds special items to obtain these unique masks. This may be as late as Halloween, but we canhope for something sooner in the game’s development.
Trading with Players
As mentioned before, players around the system will be looking for unique armor. Players can easily trade with each other bymeeting up at a pre-decided locationand use the Mo-trader app to transfer funds. Although players may attempt to scam each other, most of the community are very friendly and have good intentions when trading. If the player is an individual who doesn’t want to partake in trading, the other methods listed here are great for obtaining new armor.A cargo ship can be helpful for this process, as it will allow the player to carry an abundance of armor sets for trading
Pledge Store
Finally, players can use the pledge store to purchase armor with real money/currency. Although this may not be accessible to all players, but for those that can this will guarantee an easy method of getting armor. After each patch and update, this armor will be restored to the player’s inventory. As the game is rather buggy, there is a high chance of losing the armor to an unexpected death. This method will mean the player won’t permanently lose the unique pieces they purchase.
