Rusty Armor
No known way to obtain it. The workstation that makes it cannot be built.
Rusty Armor has an armor value of 0, so it stops no damage at all. It still counts as armor, and armor plus a sword on your hotbar is what lets you start a battle (see Combat).
The one certain place to find a set is on the zombie the astrologer gives you in the port chapter, which is wearing one; that you can take it off in the zombie’s equipment window is Unconfirmed. In chapter 3 the workshop’s conveyor bench is set to make one, but that recipe needs parts nothing in the game produces, so whether it ever delivers is Unconfirmed.

Made during the story
The story queues it once on the workshop conveyor during the prologue. The recipe still needs its parts, and the game files do not show where the workshop's would come from, so this is unconfirmed.
