Chinese Stealth Armor (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Chinese stealth armor is a set of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Chinese stealth armor is a light armor that grants the wearer a sneak bonus of +5. It is repaired with recon armor, or with other Chinese Stealth armor (with Jury Rigging it can also be repaired with any light armor). Unlike the Chinese stealth armor from Fallout 3, there is no invisibility field. The lower durability and lower DT also makes the recon armor more appealing. However, recon armor is considered 'Medium' armor and therefore reduces walking speed and ability to sneak well, while the 'Light' Chinese armor will not.

Locations
Two suits of Chinese stealth armor can be found only on the office level of Hoover Dam. They are located in a room with radioactive barrels, turn left and they are in a wooden crate against the back wall. There are several wooden crates all [Empty] the one with the Chinese Stealth Armor in them are on in the left stack, middle crate. Their existence is hinted at on the only accessible terminal on the same level, with an engineer's log entry noting that a suit was found made of "unknown material" after the NCR took the dam.

Presumably, these are the suits worn by the Chinese infiltrators who were sealed inside Sub-level 1C during the Hoover Sabotage.

Bugs

 * When the Chinese stealth armor is equipped, your "Effects" panel on the Pip-Boy 3000 displays the armor name as "Initiate Armor".
 * The armor may disappear if it is dropped.
 * Wearing the armor at the Brotherhood of Steel bunker may make all inhabitants hostile to you.
 * Sometimes when first equipping, the player will appear completely invisible in third person mode, even if changing armor or rooms. To fix this, set up a Hotkey for any weapon and select it until you are unarmed. (No ammo or condition popping up.)
 * If you drop the armor and drag it, the armor will do constant 'loops' until either drop it or it gets stopped by an object. Note that the armor can only be dragged if dragged by the golden face panel part.
 * Whenever you enter the interrogation room for Lt. Carrie Boyd she takes away your weapons and the armor. When you leave you get your weapons back, but she keeps/wears the armor.
