While the game is undoubtedly fashionable in some ways, a handful of armor sets stand out, like this one. Here is where and how to get Thorn Armor in Fallout 76.
Where to Get Thorn Armor in Fallout 76
A handful of vendors sell Thorn Armor in Fallout 76, including Regs and Minerva, both of which require Gold Bullion. However, the latter rotates her stock of unique items weekly, so you must visit at least once weekly to discover her wares.
Back in the day, before Bethesda Game Studios removed the Vault Raids, you could receive the Thorn Armor as a quest reward for completing the event. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case. Now, the only way to obtain the crafting plans is to purchase them, which is expensive for the complete set.
How to Craft Thorn Armor in Fallout 76
Once you have the associated crafting plans for each piece of Thorn Armor, you need to visit an Armor Workbench and craft each piece using the appropriate resources. Those resources include:
| Thorn Armor Mask |
|---|
| 1x Leather |
| 3x Plastic |
| 1x Rubber |
| 5x Steel |
| Thorn Armor Arms |
|---|
| 8x Ballistic Fiber |
| 15x Leather |
| 1x Legendary Module |

As you can see, it’s pretty expensive to craft Thorn Armor. As such, this is more of an end-game light armor getup for experienced players who not only have the Gold Bullion to afford each crafting plan but also the resources to craft each piece.
