Your spacesuit and helmet might offer protection from bullets or acid, but you’ll need some Starfield armor mods to really make them shine.
Starfield armor mods allow you to customize the stats of your Starfield armor sets by buffing your base physical, energy, and electromagnetic resistances, providing additional environmental protection, or by giving special bonuses to your skills and abilities.

How do Starfield armor mods work?
In order to create an armor mod, you’ll first need to complete a Starfield research project.

You’ll find these spacesuit workstations aboard your ship if you attach Industrial modules, but you can also find them at your outposts, or at numerous locations around the galaxy.
