Choosing your Mass Effect 3 armor involves a lot more than just making Shepard the best dressed commander on the Citadel, as the different elements you equip can all boost your stats in different ways. You can increase your health and shields, deal extra damage with weapon, melee, or power attacks, and much more depending on what your wear in the Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Some of these items can be found during missions, while others can be purchased from the various in-game vendors, and we’ve got every piece of Mass Effect 3 armor covered in this guide.
As you’ll see in the list below, a lot of these protective plates can be picked up during a specific mission, or purchased later from a vendor, and on the second page of this guide we have a complete Mass Effect 3 armor walkthrough to show exactly where you can find them. Pay particular attention to items that only have a mission listed by them, as if you miss them during your playthrough they’ll be lost forever. You should also bear in mind that individual Mass Effect 3 armor pieces only become available from vendors after a certain point in the story, so if you’re trying to buy an element and find it isn’t available, then make some further progress before looking again.
