Tesla Armor (Fallout 3)

The Tesla Power Armor, often called simply Tesla Armor by Enclave troops is a type of Power Armor. Unlike the pre-War Tesla Metal Armor, it is a variant of the Advanced Power Armor Mk II, jury rigged with a Tesla device that disperse a large percentage of directed energy attacks. Additionally, the armour makes operation of energy weapons easier, boosting the energy weapons skill of the operator.

Although this is powerful armour and a great addition to your wardrobe you need to know your way around Enclave soldiers, who are the only source of new sets for repairs, if you want to use it effectively. Despite getting their armor in quite a sub-par condition after the fight, it's decently easy to maintain your armor perfectly unless you are fond of stepping on land mines and catching salvos of plasma fire from all directions. Despite this drawback, the armor is still the best you can find by the end of the game, except maybe the unrepairable T-51b right after you get your hands on it.

Oh, and the armour makes you look like a walking pylon spurting electricity everywhere.

Appearances
While the Enclave's powered version of the Tesla Armor appears only in Fallout 3, a powered Tesla Armor appears also in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, found in a Shop-Tec weapon vending machine in the Secret Vault Warehouse Basement, they are not related.
