Bandos armour is a set of armour consisting of Bandos boots, Bandos chestplate, Bandos tassets, Bandos helmet, Bandos warshield, and Bandos gloves. The items are rare drops from General Graardor and his minions, Sergeant Strongstack, Sergeant Steelwill, and Sergeant Grimspike, in the God Wars Dungeon. Each piece requires 70 Defence to wear.
Bandos armour is typically expensive, because it is in high demand and is a rare drop in the dangerous God Wars Dungeon. Many players consider the armour effective for Combat and Slayer training, as it does not degrade over time, adds melee weapon damage bonus, and offers similar (albeit less) defence bonuses as Barrows armour. It is one of the strongest non-degradable armours in-game.
Bandos armour is considered the third strongest Melee armour in RuneScape; Tetsu armour and Torva equipment have higher life point and armour bonus. As of an EoC update on 30 April 2013, the Bandos armour set is now a "Power armour". It now gives a 10% boost to damage when wearing the whole set excluding the shield. All pieces except the shield give a damage bonus. It has lower defensive stats and lifepoint boosts than Barrows armour now, effectively making the Bandos armour set level 70 power gear. Its prayer bonus was also removed due to an update on prayer bonus. This is considered to be the melee version of the Armadyl equipment and the Robes of subjugation which are earned in the God Wars Dungeon.

Bandos received a major graphical update on 6 March 2012.

Trivia
Edit
- Praying at the altar in General Graardor's chamber while wearing any piece of Bandos' armour boosts Prayer points above normal by 10 points per piece (temporarily).
- Until the armour graphical update, this armour was frequently worn with the Slayer helmet due to the similarity in color scheme.
- The appearance of Bandos armour (chestplate and tassets) has been updated twice, which is more than any other God Wars armour
- The Bandos armour along with other God wars armour can technically be classified as third age armour because of the fact that it should have been forged during the third age according to the timeline of RuneScape.
