Enclave soldier

Enclave Soldiers are the infantry of the Enclave's Armed Forces.

Their equipment in the field greatly varies, but tends to be superior to enemy factions, namely the Brotherhood of Steel. In the 2240s, they usually wore the Advanced Power Armor or its Mark II variant, and were equipped with either P94 Plasma Rifles, Gauss Rifles and Pulse Rifles. In the 2270s, they switched to Advanced Power Armor Mk II and Tesla Power Armor and their weaponry of choice is mostly Laser or Plasma Rifles.

In FO3, most standard Enclave Soldiers in Advanced Power Armor Mk II are armed with Laser Rifles or (rarely) Laser Pistols. Enclave Soldiers equipped with Tesla Power Armor seem to carry superior equipment, typically being armed with Plasma Rifles or Gatling Lasers. Tesla Power Armor-equipped Enclave Soldiers are significantly rarer, and usually appear in very specific locations; i.e. guarding the exit from Raven Rock, or serving as Colonel Autumn's personal bodyguards.

Enclave Soldiers in F03 often appear in patrols of three, sometimes supported by an Officer. Heavily defended outposts include up to an entire company, including officers and Vertibird Gunships. Enclave Soldiers use tactical training in combat, such as flanking. This, matched with their Power Armor and Energy Weapons, make them superior opponents to any faction in Fallout.
