Securing the Superior Set: A Guide to Finding Full Marine Armor in Fallout 4
The quest for the ultimate protection in the harsh, irradiated world of Fallout 4 often leads players to seek out the coveted Marine Armor. This armor set, especially with the Far Harbor DLC, offers unparalleled damage resistance and a unique aesthetic. Let’s cut to the chase: acquiring a full set of Marine Armor involves venturing to the island of Far Harbor and piecing it together from various locations. Specifically, the standard Marine Armor set is scattered within steamer trunks on wrecked ships off the coast of Far Harbor. Finding each piece requires exploration and a bit of grit, but the payoff is well worth the effort. You can also kill Children Of Atom Zealots to get the marine armor which is a far easier solution, but it involves committing evil acts.
Unlocking the Marine Armor Quest
The journey to Marine Armor often begins unintentionally. However, to streamline the process, you can trigger the “Find the Marine Combat Armor Shipments” quest. This quest becomes available after unlocking the fifth and final of DiMA’s hidden memories during the “Best Left Forgotten” quest, part of the main Far Harbor storyline.
Locating the Individual Armor Pieces
Here’s a breakdown of where to find the individual pieces of the standard Marine Armor set:
- Marine Armor Helmet: Often found in a steamer trunk on a wrecked ship. Explore the coastal waters thoroughly.
- Marine Armor Chest Piece: Explore the wrecked ships along the coast of Far Harbor.
- Marine Armor Arms (Left and Right): Scattered across the wrecks; diligent searching is key.
- Marine Armor Legs (Left and Right): This part requires heading to Haddock Cove. Then head west and look for the sunken tugboat. Inside a sealed chest at the southern end of the lower parts of this tugboat lies the armor.
Tips for Efficient Searching
- Underwater Breathing: Aquire a good radiation suit to help you travel to the underwater wrecks.
- Tagging: Tag the pieces of Marine Armor in your inventory at a workbench to make them easier to locate when vendors have them.
- Patience: The ocean is vast, and the trunks can be well-hidden.
