After playing for a while i noticed that, despite the developers and the game encouraging it, most full armor sets are simply not worth picking over wearing the best pieces of armor available from every type.
This mod aims to improve ALL of the full armor sets bonuses. Values for tier 1-5 armors have been increased, i won’t specify them, just know that they are better and will overall improve your gaming experience.
Vanilla values for tier 6 full sets of armors have been massively buffed. Tier 6 full sets of armors now gain unique abilities!
Note: full armor sets that increase weapon damage will have their effects on lower tiers armors as well! But only the damage! Nothing else aside that.
The Descriptions have been added! Supported language: English
Please let me know if you find any problems! I didn’t do much testing!
Some armor sets might receive further changes if i’m not happy with their bonuses or upon request, i did my best to make every single one unique.

So, if I understand correctly from the description, with this mod the only armor sets I will ever use are:
1) Commando, for early game and all horde nights
2) Nomad late gamee for wastland raids.
3) Resource Gathering sets.
Nice. I mean, in vanilla I never wear a full set ’cause vanilla bonuses are a joke.
Question: does your Commando set work also with 45 ACP and 5.56 from Izy (since you are a tester of Izy mod I’m assuming yes)?
it should definitely work if Izayo’s weapons have the same tags as the vanilla armor, it should but i’m not sure. Yes i am a tester for Izy’s mod but that doesn’t mean much lol
Could Spears be added to the Scavenger Armor
Would be too easy for perception perk, there’s a reason why certain armors have certain advantages.
one other question, what is the difference between the 2 files? The Bonuses and the Bonuses 1-6?
1-6 means that you get the buff on all armor tiers
Tier 6 only means you get the buff only on tier 6 armors.
I think the Nomad ‘no encumberance in wasteland’ should be changed to something else. It is kinda useless when there is a book that does the same thing. Maybe add a Damage mitigation bonus instead? Thanks on the nerd bonus of crafting time! My gods why didn’t TFPs do this themselves?!
Do the bonuses work with Mods like Izy’s (Izayo) weapons and Bdub’s vehicles?
you must be the same guy that commented on the other side?
I already told you that “the book” you’re talking about isn’t a book. It’s the bonus you get after you have read all the 7 firefighter books, which can be either found in firetrucks, or by leveling up “well insulated” which nobody does and firetrucks are incredibly rare to find. And i’m sure you know how tedious looting perk books is. Also, my bonus for nomad works with mods that increase backpack size while the vanilla bonus doesn’t.
Love this mod, but Nomad feels too OP. no reason for me to have anything else when I get to wasteland
Nomad armor is mostly designed for Wasteland only playthroughs, then again it’s fair if you plan on crafting different armors for different biomes, if you leave Wasteland, nomad provides nothing as a bonus.
I personally dislike swapping armors. doing a no crafting run and just got to wasteland. I just find it a bit annoying that the nomad armour gives all weapon buffs and renders all other armours close to useless so I got to respec from medium to heavy.
Nomad armor only gives bonuses to weapon damage, but other armors specialize in specific weapons, granting reload speed or movement speed. Commando armor is a lot more superior than Nomad in this aspect. Then again Wasteland is the hardest biome to survive in.
50% stamina regeneration when in the Wasteland biome
20% faster movement speed when in the Wasteland biome
60% more damage and 60% attack speed with any melee weapon when in the Wasteland biome
60% more damage and reload speed with any firearm or bow when in the Wasteland biome
+50 loot stage and +80 trader stage when in the Wasteland biome
All these lines is better than most gears on they own.
It gives you the highest runspeed, highest dmg and attack speed, highest reload speed for late game weapons except 2 classes that are very specific.
I think it would be a better mod if you could keep the same armour through all zones as you don’t have to change the style you want to have going through the game.
A lot of these armors become almost useless when you move on to another zone too.
Remember that it’s heavy armor. If you don’t start putting points into strength, those bonuses will be heavily mitigated by the armor itself.
I personally don’t feel like going to different biomes makes other armors useless.
Also remember those values in the description are for tier 6 armor, you’re not going to have them right away. It’s high on purpose because armor became much harder to craft.
There are some armors in the vanilla game that no one will ever pick (like farmer, farming is too slow and tedious). I did my best to improve all of them, and some players were complaining about Nomad armor not being good enough for the hardest biome in the game, so i significantly improved it. The thing with this armor is that if you leave the biome, it gives you nothing. If you decide to live in the Wasteland, you can feel safer with this armor, but this doesn’t mean that other armors are useless, they just fit different play stiles. There is only 1 armor type getting a bonus from each biome.
Certain weapons are unusable without significant improvements to their spread, and if you use a weapon with nomad armor you will deal a lot of damage but your accuracy will suffer.
And yep, after checking nomad only gets like 10% more damage than other armors, the only thing i could reduce is the attack speed for melee weapons
Yo. I just wanted to post that I’ve been playing 7DTD with pretty much all of your tweaks at once and it’s been a blast. Even been doing Insane Nightmare for a grand ol’ time. Thanks for the hard work man, everytime I figure an issue out there’s already a fix waiting.
This +Izayo’s weapon stuff is a great experience, that said quick question with Izy’s .45ACP weapons, would they possibly come under 9MM for Commando? Or is the boosting from Commando affecting the ammo type rather than the weapon tree?
Actually decided to be useful and test it myself instead of asking dumb questions, yeah! It looks like the Commando Armor affects all of Izayo V2.2 .45ACP weapons. Neato!
yes, porbably because the .45ACP extends to the 9mm ammo which gets bonus damage from Commando armor
and i’m happy to hear that, thank you for using my mods ^^
I am using the tier 1-6 version. The miner armor is not working for me. I crafted all level 6 armor but when I put it all on it does not show the armor bonus. Assassin and Commando work great. Those are the only ones I’ve tried so far. Thanks for the great mod.
try re-downloading the mod pls, i just uploaded the version i’m using and i know for a fact that for me it works.
If it still doesn’t work, then it might be conflicting with something
I redownloaded it and tried again but had the same issue. But also got an error while loading the game. I removed a line from the buffs.xml file that referenced Explosion.RadiusBlocks, which was in the error. Now it works great.
Thanks
that might be a leftover code from my testings, i’ll have to check it out
Do the weapon bonuses work with modded weapons (like Izayo’s gun pack, etc)?
Yes of course
At least, they should work, the bonuses are based on weapon tags, some of these tags were added in update 1.0 so i don’t know if Izayo’s guns also have them, hopefully though they do.
Is the raider set bugged atm? Wearing full set and not getting active set bonus
Uh? I’ll check it out
Working fine for me, i’m using the tier 1-6 version. Are you using the other version by any chance?
All three of the heavy armor types aren’t giving their buffs for me.
well i need more information on this, what version are you using?
are you using any other mod that could cause conflicts with mine?
Ah sorry. I am using your 1-6 version, as well as your Better Perks, and Better Vanilla Attachments mods. Besides that I have a stacking mod, and some zombie mods, The MeanOnesStack_Overhaul. MicksSpecialZombies, Diamond Raid boss, and Banshee Queen mods. Do you think any of those could be causing conflicts with your armor mod? Thank you for your time!
I switched to your other version, and everything is working perfectly. Hope that helps!
Yeah i guess it was caused by some leftover code that was breaking the mod, feel free to try the 1-6 version again, thank you!
Redownload it, its fixed now
Hello, Blackwolf.
I really love this mod. Thank you for making it.
I wanted to play this mod in Japanese, so I added it to the Localization.txt.
Could you add it if you don’t mind?
https://www.mediafire.com/file/w3vn5ul5dsa980y/localization.txt/file
Sure thing
Is the automatic shotgun covered under either of the shotgun full set bonuses?
It isn’t, actually, i will add it to the Commando armor since you mentioned it
Do i need a Crossbow T5 or Higher for loading 3 Bolts with the assassin amor? I currently have a t4 and it doesnt load the amor itself is t6
Hello, are you wearing the full set of tier 6?
Also be very careful to always have the minimum of 3 arrows to load if not you might corrupt your world.
Yes i have the full tier 6 set
It has nothing to do with the tier of the crossbow.
Are you using the tier 1-6 or the tier 6 only?
Are all the armor pieces tier 6?
And as the other guy said, you also need to have enough bolts in your inventory.
I forgot to mention: you will be able to load more arrows only on tier 5 and 6 full armor sets.
Hello again!
Quite funny I was testing the sets and was about to write the athletic set needs a bit of love and the nerd one needs a nerf a little but you changed em already. Also was wondering about nomad but you changed it also so will give it another go
Also for the lumber one I was wondering… The chainsaw is nice but the sound gets annoying so fast so was wondering if you could buff the use of steel axe or w/e more over the chainsaw…also guess the auger would be annoying over time as well.
There’s mod that make both the auger and the Chaisnaw completely silent, that’s the solution right there!
Hello!
Inc little wall of text! 🙂
first of all me and 3 other friends are loving these sets, feels nice to go for a full armor set piece than just the typical broken set.
I’ve wanted to learn to do some modding to change the set pieces myself or at least make em 2/4 3/4 and 4/4 giving way better set bonuses than the ones currently made from the fun pimps but you kinda made em nice and unique.
I like theory crafting new ideas of how to make a build with your sets and also the better perks haha.
Currently trying a full brawler type but the only armor im aimed toward is the raider armor since its the only one affecting the knuckles (attack speed) other than the biker which is just 50% dmg and 30% attack speed, the other ones being shotgun which isnt really in the same line of brawling/melee type thing.
I was also wondering about a build using a harvesting tool, maybe that 2h steel axe, could be nice to see someone with a 2h axe just slashing through haha but then again I would have to use the raider set again making that axe swing 100% faster unless its not considered a melee weapon… then lumber jack but 100% block dmg isnt counted toward physical dmg? Im too new still but would test it and see if its fun
I was also wondering if you were meddling with the idea of making the armor be upgradable, like assassin needing lets say 2 piece of assassin chest with x number of mats (not something too easy, like make em 5 or 10 legendary parts) to make the chest nightstalker or w/e the new name and further increasing or gaining new stats/bonuses.
To me that would give ppl even more meaning to go farm for “better loot” and new build ideas
anyway thats what I have for now, keep em coming loving it ! 😀
Remember that each armor piece also gives you bonuses. Raider gloves give you damage bonus to all melee weapons.
Yes axes get 100% damage bonus to entities as well and is considered as melee weapon.
Same goes for pickaxes.
As far as your upgrades idea that’s not something i plan in adding as it would just not be vanilla anymore at that point.
I’m happy to hear you and your friends enjoy my mods, have fun! ♥️
The Nerd set is not allowing to use three turrets now. Only two are active with everything maxed out
@smite05
i’ll check it out!
@smite05 unfortunately, due to how the addition of active turrets is code, i cannot add extra turrets via buffs or via requirements. This simply means that this specific bonus does not work and will not work unless developers change it. I will think of a new improvement to replace it with.
Thx for the info, yea we are having a blast
will look forward to more mods from you or updates 🙂
HI; All of these look great!
My only concern is the assassin armor potentiality to corrupt the server. It has a lot of good stuff already; would it be possible to make a version available to removed the Triple Shot?
You can remove it yourself from the xml file
just remove these two lines from the buffs.xml file under the assassin armor bonuses:
https://i.imgur.com/HYSUilc.png
do the new values show up on the armor itself? or is there a way to tell it’s working? maybe i’m missing something – threw the “better full armorset 1-6” in mods folder, launched the game, but my armor doesn’t look any different.. not sure if you have to recraft maybe?
There was no way for me to show all the values on the armor, though, you can find more information on the description under your full armor bonus
I was just a dumby and wasn’t wearing a full set – I did have a question though, for the 1-6, how does the armor take the value? like.. if i have level 1 head piece, level 3 chest, 2 hands and feet of a full set.. will it give me the bonus as if i were level 1? or level 3? or some combination of that?
Nerd full armor bonuses are OP…
you’re always free to use a different armor then.
Why are there no increases in farm efficacy type set bonuses for the farmer set like with the miner set?
Because farmer armor already get those from the singular armor pieces, though farmer armor still needs some improvements so I’ll maybe add more farming related bonuses.
I encountered an issue on a dedicated 1.0 server, where I had 2 arrows remaining, and the assassin set reloaded 3. This put my arrow count at “-1 / 0” and since that point I haven’t been able to load back into the server.
(1.0 Server running only two mods – your armour set mod and perk mod).
oh damn that is a big issue, i didn’t know that could happen. Do you have a backup of the save?
I don’t think i can do anything to fix it but at this point i’m debating if i should remove the bonus since it can cause problems like this
Try to edit the XML file and remove the part that allows the bow to reload 3 arrows, see if that also lets you join the world, please. The line is under the assassin armor in buffs.xml
Which of the two links is more current, and what is the difference between the two?
One gives unique skills to tier 6 only armor, other gives unique skills to all tiers (1-6).
2nd one seems to be preferred by the majority of players.
Perfect, another question, I downloaded the file 1-6 but I think the mod didn’t work, because the status of the sets didn’t change, or do they only change when all the parts are used?
It’s called “full armor set bonuses”
To get the bonus, you need to have all 4 pieces of the SAME armor, or else it will not work!
For example, if you want the Assassin bonus, you need to have 4 assassin armor equipped.
Is the automatic shotgun covered under either of the shotgun full set bonuses?
Helo. Mod have 2 downloads , i need download two files or just one ? Stay save.
Just one
First download gives bonus only to tier 6 armors
Second download gives bonus to tiers 1 2 3 4 5 and 6 of armors 🙂
Thanks for info. Stay save.
Do any of the armor sets effect the Deagle?
Yes, enforcer and ranger do
hello. i translated your mod to russian. i can spend you localization file
Of course feel free to leave a Link to it here
I haven’t heard back from you, if you don’t know how to, just upload the localization.txt file on your google drive and then set the link to public before pasting it here
raider bonuses so few
i will add more bonuses to it as i thnk for more improvements.
thx for your consideration <3
it would be nice if lumberjack %100 extra damage to blocks and “zombies”
Chainsaw does that 🙂
Is this buffs only effective if you have full t6 armors on?
The tier 6 armors have special abilities.
But i also improved the stats of tier 1-5 armors. Makes wanting to craft tier 6 a lot more rewarding and exciting
I mean is there any way to switch this?
Don’t worry, I’m working on giving more bonuses to all armors! Will come out in the next update
Nice!
Enjoy
i guess full armor bonuses doesnt work
Eh? What do you mean?
raider bonus is 5 hp for each kill but i dont get 5 hp each kill
apologies, the description has been updated today.
It’s each kill with a melee weapon.
hey thx for updated but i was use sledgehammer. Doesn’t sledgehammer count as melee?
I think i found the problem, will get fixed in the next update!
thx bro <3
were does the mod install to
simply extract it into the “Mods” folder, you can find this folder into your 7 Days To Die folder.
steamapps -> common -> 7 Days To Die
It would be nice if it wasn’t a .RAR file.
Not all of us want to pay for unzipping services.
Thanks
just use 7zip
This is actually the longest running joke, it’s optional to pay for Winrar.
