In Fallout 3, the appearance of the armor was mostly changed, but it is still referred to as "advanced power armor Mk II" in dialogue. Note that its appearance in Fallout 2 is identical to that of the standard advanced power armor.In actual gameplay, Enclave power armor is only slightly better than Brotherhood power armor in terms of damage resistance, though it can take slightly more damage overall before breaking.
They also refer to it as "black devil" power armor. Enclave power armor is also slightly more durable than standard power armor, and its condition degrades around the same as normal power armor.ĭialogue of Brotherhood of Steel scribes suggests that the Enclave's power armor is significantly more advanced than the Brotherhood's, with Brotherhood Paladins expressing concern that their standard bullets may not even be able to penetrate it. There is also a 5% increase to radiation resistance. It provides +1 Strength and -1 Agility one less Strength bonus and Agility penalty than the Capital Wasteland Brotherhood power armor.
Like all power armor, Power Armor Training is required to equip it. The set consists of two pieces, the body armor and helmet. Following the destruction of the oil rig and the flight to the Capital Wasteland, the Enclave has designated the Mark II as its official service uniform and manufactured it en masse once it gained access to Raven Rock and Adams AFB, eventually displacing the older, less protective Mark I suits entirely. The suit was originally available in limited qualities. ĭespite their defeat at Control station Enclave, the Enclave remnants would rally on the East Coast, at Raven Rock and Adams Air Force Base, More importantly, the garrison at Navarro was defeated by New California Republic troops using conventional weapons and armor, thanks to superior numbers and tactics. The Enclave's confidence in its technological superiority allowed the Chosen One to infiltrate Control station Enclave without problem thanks to the assumption that only Enclave troops would wear these suits. However, while it was considerably powerful, it was not invincible. Enclave's insignia was proudly worn on the breastplates of armors, while rank indicators were typically placed on the arms of the suit. The combination of superior protection, mobility, and strength gave the Enclave a considerable advantage over wastelanders. Additional features include an auto-gyro and the ability to lock them in position, allowing the suit to be stored upright (or the operator to take a nap while on guard duty), an air conditioning system for comfort, a radio headset, and an urine-recycling system carried over from the T-51b, allowing the operator to survive for weeks without water. The basic hydraulics system and servo-motors that provide the operator with enhanced strength are also high quality models, with improved performance as opposed to the original T-51b. Its angled surfaces also help maximize the chance of outright deflecting projectiles and incoming fire. The unusal, insect-like design features a pair of polarized eyepieces in place of the usual vision slit, providing superior battlefield awareness. Perhaps the most noticeable change was a completely new helmet assembly.
Classic power armor pauldrons were retired in favor of a hump that encloses the operator's head, significantly reducing the chance of enemy fire damaging the vital areas surrounding the head. The resulting space savings allowed for reducing the armor's profile without compromising protection. While the T-51 power armor relied on a lightweight poly-laminate composite shell for protection, the advanced model uses lightweight metal alloys as basis, reinforced with ceramic castings at key points. The X-01 advanced powered infantry combat armor is designed for a single human operator, provided with the comfort and protection of a next-generation suit of armor. Work on the model was restarted by the Enclave in 2198, although it wasn't until 2215 that the research efforts began in earnest under Presidential mandate, with the first production model created in 2220. It represented a radical, new approach to designing powered armor, eschewing traditional armor design philosophies, but was never deployed in larger quantities until the 23rd century. The first test batch of the armor, designated X-01 Mk I, was developed for Presidential bodyguards, and served as the baseline for the remnants of the United States military, who developed it into a power armor tailored for the post-War wasteland. The development of the first suit of advanced power armor, designated X-01, began shortly before the Great War. The following section is transcluded from Advanced power armor.
