Gambeson Armor is a padded type of armor that's made out of thick layers of wool and other fabrics. The nature of the armor's materials means that it's usually a fair bit heavier than Plate Armor and thus the heaviest in the game, but it's also more commonly found out in the world as it's far easier to make. It's not as protecting as plate armor or as flexible as maille, but it's a strong mid-point between the two. Brigandine ArmorĮssentially the middle ground between the Plate and the Maille, Brigandine Armor is much smaller plates of metal sewn into leather or cloth for a more flexible plate armor solution. Maille is still vulnerable to particularly forceful attacks thanks to its flexible nature, and it's at its best when combined with Plate or Gambeson armor, with the maille worn underneath the heavier armor. It can be worn on its own, and when it is it offers a great compromise thanks to its combination of protection and flexibility of movement. Maille armor is also known as Chainmail, and it's an absolutely vital type of armor. It's best combined with other armor types, however, since gaps in the armor leave some vulnerability and it'll always be vulnerable to more blunt attacks. It's the second heaviest armor in the game.
