The armor that you wear in Starfield can determine how well you will survive encounters with not only enemies but the environment as well.
This is why it’s best to change your armor to better options whenever you can as there are those with Rare, Epic, and Legendary variants.
Items with better rarity provide more benefits and we have listed not only the perks that your armor may have but also codes just in case you use the console to change them.

Armor Perk Tiers
There are 3 Armor Perk Tiers/Groups that the rolls you have will depend on, with Rare, Epic, and Legendary having different roles.
Rare equipment will have a 1 roll from the Tier 1 armor perks while Epic items will have a perk roll from Tier 1 and Tier 2.
Legendary items will have a roll (3 different perks) from each of the Tier Groups, Tier 1, 2, and 3, giving you multiple options at random.
To make things short, see the roll options below:
- Rare Item (Tier 1 Perk)
- Epic Item (Tier 1 Perk + Tier 2 Perk)
- Legendary Item (Tier 1 Perk + Tier 2 Perk + Tier 3 Perk)
Verdict
Getting good rolls is something that happens randomly, and you may never know what pops up until you loot the items that are around.
Some rolls may have the armor perks you want while others may seem to be a bit of trash but as you progress through the game, there is a lot more you can grab.
The use of the console to alter items and cheat in various ways may end up with you losing the ability to earn achievements but this does not carry over to other saves.
