This is more about the slots, and how they interact with the Warrior's Veteran perk. Which items, when equipped, count as "heavy armor"? For example, many two-handed melee weapons have the heavy tag, along with some shields. For shields that doesn't matter for the perk, since they activate it regardless of weight, but do Heavy weapons activate the perk, or is that not the case because it's not armor?
Similarly, what about other pieces of equipment? I'm certain heavy Chest armor activates it, but what about the heavy gauntlets, leggings, and head pieces? I think that they probably do, given they seem to be largely considered as the armor sets, but what about the accessory types? Those specifically being the Bronze Pauldrons (shoulder slot, they have the heavy tag) and the Bottom Heavy Belt (waist slot, heavy tag). If you have BHB or BP equipped, do they activate Veteran?
