Fallout 3 Power Armor

The T-45d power armor is a piece of armor in Fallout 3.

Gameplay attributes
Wearing power armor requires the player to receive the Power Armor Training perk by either talking to Paladin Gunny in the Citadel, by starting the Take it Back! quest, or by completing the Anchorage Reclamation simulation (Operation: Anchorage).

T-45d power armor can be repaired using components from the T-51b power armor, but the reverse cannot be done. All non-unique variants of T-45d power armor have identical properties and effects, and only differ with regards to their appearance as well as their use in certain quests.

Variants

 * Power armor and power helmet, a standard variant of power armor.
 * Brotherhood power armor and Brotherhood power helmet, it has the same appearance and attributes as regular power armor. There are no differences other than the name, the insignia on the shoulder pauldrons, that it will not appear in a merchant's stock, and Protector Casdin will not accept it as part of The Outcast Collection Agent unmarked quest.
 * Outcast power armor and Outcast power helmet, a variant worn by Brotherhood Outcasts. Visually it is a standard suit of Brotherhood of Steel power armor, but repainted (somewhat haphazardly) to be black and red. Having Outcast variants in your inventory (equipped or not) when speaking to Protector Casdin will cause him to confiscate the armor unless you have gained the Outcasts' trust. Wearing a full suit of Outcast power armor will cause the Outcasts stationed at the Outcast Outpost to treat you as though you are an Outcast member, rather than a "local".
 * Lyons' Pride power armor, it is the same as regular power armor, except that the Lyons' Pride insignia is on the shoulder instead of the standard Brotherhood of Steel insignia. There is no specific Lyon's Pride power helmet; Pride members wear either standard power helmets or the Brotherhood variants.
 * Linden's Outcast power armor, a unique Outcast power armor obtained as a quest reward for completing the quest Oasis in Leaf Mother Laurel's favor.
 * Prototype medic power armor, this is a variation of the Army power armor equipped with a Mister Gutsy-like onboard artificial intelligence. The armor's primary function is to administer Med-X when the wearer receives significant damage. Because the artificial intelligence is capable of speech it will also alert the wearer to the presence of nearby enemies and vice versa.
 * Ashur's power armor, a unique version of the standard power armor which has been painted and adorned with various tribal emblems and is only found with The Pitt add-on.
 * Tribal power armor, a damaged suit of Brotherhood power armor, patched and altered by unnamed denizens of The Pitt to resemble Ashur's power armor; it is only found with The Pitt add-on.


 * Army power armor, it has a US Army band on each shoulder. There is no matching helmet for the Army power armor.

Power armor and power helmet
Regular power armor can be acquired from the Capital Wasteland's merchants, although they rarely appear in stock. Friday, a vendor in the Downtown section of The Pitt, also sells them. You also receive a complete suit of power armor in 100% condition from Sarah Lyons at the beginning of the game's final quest, Take it Back! It can also be acquired from a small number of fallen Brotherhood of Steel members, particularly those encountered in Chevy Chase when attempting to clear the GNR Building Plaza of super mutants. Power helmets are more plentiful, and can be found from merchants and numerous fallen Brotherhood of Steel members.

Brotherhood power armor and Brotherhood power helmet
This variant is found on most fallen Brotherhood of Steel members.

Outcast power armor and Outcast power helmet
Outcast power armor and Outcast power helmet can be acquired from the corpses of fallen Outcasts and from Fort Independence.

Lyons' Pride power armor
It can be acquired from the corpses of dead Lyons' Pride members during Take it Back, or reverse-pickpocketing: Sentinel Lyons, Knight Captain Gallows, Paladin Vargas, Paladin Glade, Paladin Kodiak and Knight Captain Dusk.
