Crimson Dragoon

The Crimson Dragoons are China's elite troops. According to rumor they begin military training from birth. They are equipped with Chinese Stealth Armor, Chinese Officer's Swords, and Chinese Assault Rifles.

Attributes
Crimson Dragoons level up with the player (keep at roughly the same level as the player e.g. when player is lv. 2 a Crimson Dragoon may be lv.3), and are generally on par with a Brotherhood of Steel Knight or Paladin in terms of skill and durability. Their cloaking-field generating Stealth Armor allows them to pose a unique threat. With a few exceptions, most Crimson Dragoons will idle in sneak mode until the player passes them, making them very difficult to detect at a glance. Once the player's back is turned, they will attack. They could be considered one of the game's most powerful opponents because of their durability and their cloaking ability, and while it shouldn't be too hard to spot one, they work exceptionally well in the dark.

Appearances
Crimson Dragoons appear only in the Operation: Anchorage add-on pack.

Behind the scenes

 * Historically, a dragoon is a type of infantry trained to fight on foot as well as on horseback, but eventually came to refer to a kind of medium cavalry. In modern parlance, the term is usually applied to armored regiments.

Bugs

 * Sometimes when using V.A.T.S on the Crimson Dragoons while they are in stealth mode you may not be able to exit V.A.T.S in addition to the fact that you can not attack, leaving you stuck there.
