If you want the best armour in Starfield, unique armour sets are great for collecting because they offer more than just protection. These special suits often come with better stats, unique designs, and sometimes extra effects that regular armour does not have. Some are given as mission rewards, some are tied to faction questlines, and others are hidden in places you can easily miss while exploring. In this guide, we will show you all the unique armour locations in Starfield.
