Paladin (Fallout: New Vegas)

Brotherhood of Steel paladins are heavily armed and armored foot-soldiers of the Mojave Brotherhood of Steel, operating out of Hidden Valley $$

Background
The paladins in the Mojave Wasteland chapter are equipped with T-51b power armor and energy weapons such as Gauss rifles, tri-beam laser rifles and Gatling lasers.

Paladins wear a full suit of Brotherhood T-51b power armor, however, some wear the T-51b armor with a T-45d power helmet. Paladins with T-45d helmets possess armor that is in poor condition with a low damage threshold. They are the second-most heavily armored soldiers in the entire Mojave Wasteland, surpassed only by the advanced power armor of the Enclave remnants.

Locations
Paladins are rarely encountered in the Mojave Wasteland, with almost all Brotherhood members permanently locked down inside their Hidden Valley bunker. A large force of paladins will appear and engage the player character in combat if they start a shootout inside the bunker. Paladins will equip their power armor automatically upon entering combat.

A squad of paladins can sometimes be found patrolling the Hidden Valley area at night after 2:00 AM (who will be hostile towards the player character unless they are accompanied by Veronica or good reputation with the Brotherhood), and dead paladin scouts can be found in certain locations, such as the REPCONN headquarters or Dead Wind Cavern. A squad of rogue paladins will confront the player character in combat as part of the conclusion of Veronica's companion quest, I Could Make You Care.

A group of three paladins wearing T-45d power armor and wielding tri-beam laser rifles will also fight in the final battle at Hoover Dam on behalf of the NCR against Caesar's Legion if the player character successfully brokers a truce between the NCR and the Brotherhood.
