Metal armor (Fallout: New Vegas)

The metal armor appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Metal armor serves as a very heavy armor. It provides much more protection than a flimsy suit of leather armor, but is more ramshackle than combat armor and is weaker than power armor.

Locations

 * Jackal gang members and leaders, as well as Viper leaders and gunslingerss sometimes wear it.
 * Duke (Fallout: New Vegas), a Fiend in Zapp's Neon Signs, wears one.
 * Orris in Freeside wears one.
 * The mercenaries that you must deal with in front of Jacobstown each wear one.
 * Some Powder Gangers in Vault 19 wear one.
 * Can be found in the Bison Hotel in Primm in a armor case on the third floor.

Variants

 * Lightweight metal armor (Mercenary Pack) - A suit of metal armor that has been trimmed down. It's lighter and easier to move in and is just as good at stopping bullets.


 * Metal Armor, Reinforced - A variant of metal armor, possessing higher DT and more durability.

Appearances
Metal armor appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * When holding metal armor outside of the pipboy (via pressing down L3) when jumping the metal armor will freeze mid-air and vanish. It won't disappear, and will be invisible. To avoid this, it is advised to pick it up again.
