Four joint protectors for the knees and elbows complete the loadout, with four spikes in a square pattern attached on the elbows for that bit of extra grease in bar fights. Forearm sections are attached to thick cloth padding and held together with leather straps, while the shin guards are worn over trousers with two simple leather straps. The limbs are covered by rudimentary protectors made out of salvaged sheet metal roughly hammered into its proper shape.
The shoulders are protected by a pair of axillary protectors, in the shape of medieval pauldrons with prominent spikes, with a cloth protector wrapped around the upper arm to avoid injury. A tire is tied to the lower back using leather straps and string, providing softer cover for vulnerable organs and a bit of comfort while sitting or leaning. The plate forms a single-piece shell that extends over the shoulders to the upper back, worn with a thick layer of salvaged fabric for padding and to prevent chafing. The suit consists of a protective plate with a prominent gorget, made out of shaped scrap sheet metal with additional protective plates attached via repurposed rebar to provide a degree of motion for the lower body. Metal armor is heavy, rugged, and can be readily manufactured from scrap, though requires skill to make an effective suit of armor that isn't a danger to its own wearer. A crude suit of armor crafted into a protective suit by a blacksmith - or a wastelander with a blowtorch.
