Does armor help explorers in Fallout Shelter?

When equipping my explorers, I figured armor makes sense. But there doesn't seem to be an armor stat in the game. Does armor do anything different, or is it just a SPECIAL boost like other clothing?


Solution 1:

There is no armor stat.

Armor only works like clothing, in that it increases certain SPECIAL statistics.

That said, when equiptment insinuates a degree of protection, you should usually expect to see Endurance gain.
