Starfield:Armor Effects
In Starfield number of different armor effects can applied to armor sets (helmet, spacesuit or pack) based on their rarity level. Both weapons and armor sets have different rarity levels like: Rare, Epic, Legendary. Each of these levels comes with several possible armor effects listed in the table below. Note that weapon effects are different to armor effects.
Armor effects are randomised when you find the armor. You can keep reloading to before you picked up or killed an enemy wielding a legendary weapon or armor set until you get the legendary effects that best match your character build. However, uniquely named armor sets always have fixed effects that cannot be altered. Unique armor however will always come with randomised armor effects.
The difficulty you play on will increase your chance of obtaining legendary weapons and armor sets by 0.5% on Hard difficulty and 1% on Very Hard difficulty.
