Power Armor is a type of armor found across the Fallout Series.

Background[edit]

Worn by various factions in the wasteland, Power Armor is made of a poly-laminate composite, shielding the user from radiation and damage while providing increased strength.[1][2] The armor is a pre-War product of West Tek in conjunction with the United States government.[3] The armor was developed at Fort Strong, utilized in both China and at the Battle of Anchorage.[4][5][6][7]

Worn by Brotherhood knights, power armor shields the user from damage while providing increased strength.[8] Those who utilize the armor benefit have the ability to survive for weeks without water, and protection from radiation damage if the suit remains airtight.[9][10][11] Some suits could undergo a special chemical hardening process.[12]

The power armor prototypes were slated to be part of an exhibit at the Museum of Technology in 2078.[13] Harold Frost, one of T-45's original designers, designed the Excavator Power Armor for the Garrahan Mining Company.[14] Following the Great War, many suits are still found throughout the wastelands, providing those who wear them additional protection from threats.[5] Stripping out the joint servos removes the need for special training.[15]

Gameplay[edit]

The armor is described as being hard-wearing, created with lightweight metal alloys, reinforced with ceramic castings at key points.[16][Pub 1] Mark II was created with lightweight ceramic composites that provide more protection than Advanced Power Armor.[17][18] The armor utilized by the Enclave, also referred to as Advanced Mark II and Advanced Power Armor Mark II,[19][20][21] some of which have the faction's insignia on the front and rank on the side.[22][23] The Chosen One mentions that the power armor recycles urine.[24]

  1. 1.0 1.1 Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.130: "ENCLAVE POWER ARMOR: This is also known as Advanced Power Armor Mark 2. The Enclave sacrifice part of the Strength bonus, but there is less Agility penalty with this armor. It is also slightly more hard-wearing."
  2. Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.44: "ENCLAVE SIGMA"
    "Posted to previously unknown and highly secretive locations outside of the Capital Wasteland, only the most veteran of Enclave forces trained in multiple forms of combat earn the right to call themselves Sigma. These six-person squads feature a leader clad in Hellfire Armor and carrying an Incinerator, and each man in has seen numerous combat sorties and lived to tell about them. Sigma Squads are posted around locations deemed by Enclave high command as "imperative" to the salvation of the cause, so whenever you encounter Sigma Squads, you know something vital to the Enclave is close by."
  3. Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.49: "ENCLAVE SOLDIER [SIGMA]"
    "Supremely professional and battle-hardened, these six-man squads can prove to be troublesome, especially the leader armed with a Heavy Incinerator and Hellfire Armor. Use the tactics that have served you well in the past, or lob in a highly powerful Grenade (such as the Nuka Grenade) before the squad fans out to damage as many as possible."
