Tesla power pack

Named Tesla Armor in the game, it is actually a third piece of armor that, in theory, you can wear on top of any other gear you have. It does not look like the standard glowing tubes on a Tesla suit's back, but does cover them up if you wear it with the main Tesla Armor suit. It will also give you invisible Tesla coils in the same locations as if you were wearing standard Tesla Armor and arcing electricity on anything you wear it with. Wearing the pack will also give you floating tubes that travel from the top of the pack to your character's chest. Depending on your outfit, the tubes appear to end just below your collarbone and end up floating unsupported.

This can be equipped with any other piece of body armor to add extra Damage Resistance. However if worn with another piece of body armor then 40 Damage Resistance is halved to 20; still an excellent piece of equipment.

This armor also never seems to degrade.

Glitch Theory
It is believed by many in the community that this item is bugged. It has the same name as normal Tesla Armor and the same stats as Enclave Power Armor. When considered logically, a backpack which weighs the same as a full suit of armor is quite ridiculous. Some believe it's not supposed to exist at all and was intended as an NPC item only, given the confusing name, strange repair options, and the fact that according to the lists, it shouldn't be dropped or even owned by NPCs. It's possibly something the developers forgot to disable or remove.

Location Theory
Across several online Fallout 3 forums, people have been debating back and forth were this "rare drop" might be located on the Xbox 360 version. One theory included the belief that it was a random drop found inside Super Mutant Behemoths after a successful battle. So far, all that has been found inside these giants is regular Power Armor, B.O.S. Power Armor, and in some instances, Outcast Power Armor. Another theory brings us all the way back to the Main Quest, when the player is attempting to escape Jefferson Memorial with Doctor Li, Garza and the rest of the gang through the Taft Tunnels. A Tesla Armored soldier is placed on a balcony inaccessible by the player reigning down fire from above.(It is accessible if you position the three barrels located in the room next to the work light, from the barrels jump onto the light, then pick up a barrel and position it onto the nearby rail. Then move closer to the nearby ledge and position and jump off the barrel to reach the ledge. Tested on 360) It is thought that killing this soldier, as well as his comrade also positioned next to him, might reveal the Backpack. Great care must be taken to make sure a piece of the soldier reaches the player below. As a truthful reference however, I tested this theory to no avail for over 5 hours one day. Although the Tesla soldier does indeed drop Tesla Armor, he does not drop a unique Backpack that can also be equipped. This was tested on the Xbox 360 version.
