Chinese Stealth Armor (Fallout 3)

The Hei Gui Stealth Suit is an armor originally worn by elite Chinese Black Ghost counterinsurgency/terror units before and during the Great War.

The armor has active camouflage systems that, when activated, generate a modulating field that transmits the reflected light from one side of an object to the other, making a person much harder to notice (but not completely invisible). This technology was the basis for the unstable "Stealth Boy" wrist units developed in the U.S.

Known uses
Chinese stealth suits were used during the Chinese invasion of Alaska and was the Chinese solution to invasion by U.S. forces in power armor.

They were also used during raids against Hoover Dam secret laboratory and Limit-115 laboratory.

Appearances
The Chinese stealth armor was originally going to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios. It was the step up from UAF armor with its small stealth bonus.

It also appears in the Operation: Anchorage Fallout 3 DLC pack. It is obtainable from the sealed armory inside the Brotherhood Outcast Outpost once Operation: Anchorage has been completed. Once worn if will increase your Sneak skill by +15 and if crouching, will also apply a +5 stealth field. This can be seen in 3rd person view. It can be repaired using Recon Armors.

Trivia
In Chinese, Hei Gui (黑鬼) literally means "Black Ghost.", but it also has another meaning. Literally, Hei (黑) means black, dark, etc., and Gui (鬼) means ghost, apparition, etc. However, both words combined, the term has another connotation, meaning "a bad, corrupt, or evil black person".
