Remnants Power Armor

The Remnants power armor is a piece of power armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
The armor was created by the Enclave's skilled team of engineers and scientists after the Great War, as a result of a research program initiated in 2198, part of a larger project to develop various technologies. In 2215 the first actually superior suit is manufactured, entering service in 2220. Various accidents/explosions/deaths involved in its creation are classified by order of the Enclave's President Dick Richardson for the sake of the morale of the Enclave's personnel.

It is composed of lightweight metal alloys, reinforced with ceramic castings at key stress points. The motion-assist servo-motors used in the armor appear to be high quality models as well, giving the wearer a +4 strength bonus. The suit has an auto-gyro system to keep it upright and the knees can be locked in position, to prevent the wearer from falling over, if, for some reason, he loses consciousness on duty (e.g. takes a nap). Additionally, like the T-51b Power Armor, it includes a recycling system that can convert human waste into drinkable water, enhancing survival.

It was issued primarily to Enclave troops operating on the United States mainland, with the Enclave insignia prominently displayed on the breastplate, while rank indicators were usually painted on the shoulders of the armor.

Later, the superior Advanced Power Armor Mk II was introduced, and by 2277 it had become the standard-issue Enclave Power Armor used by all of that organization military units.

Timeline

 * 1) 2198: The Enclave begins the first work since the Great War on the development of various new technologies, including Power Armor variations. None of these are much of an improvement over the original pre-Great War models of Power Armor, and some actually prove to be worse when used in actual combat.
 * 2) 2215: Under Presidential Order, the Enclave's scientists and engineers begin to work on an upgraded version of Power Armor that exceeds the performance of the T-51b model. Many prototypes are developed and tested.
 * 3) October 2220: Enclave scientists finally develop a reliable version of what they call Advanced Power Armor. The prototype's capabilities (and the various accidents/explosions/deaths involved in its creation) are classified by order of the Enclave's President Dick Richardson for the sake of the morale of the Enclave's personnel.

Locations

 * Helmet can be found in the Silver Peak Mine upper level, north west corner of the main room, behind a gate, next to a skeleton.
 * The armor and helmet will be rewarded along with Power Armor Training by either killing Orion Moreno and taking it, convincing him to stay and gaining it from Daisy, or by taking Cannibal Johnson's when he storms out. Please refer to For Auld Lang Syne for further details. If you convince Arcade Gannon not to fight when you leave the bunker, he will give you the Gannon Family Tesla Armor. You can also obtain the Tesla Armor by failing to convince him not to fight, and subsequently killing him when he approaches you.
 * The armor can also be found in the Deathclaw Promontory, go with Extreme Caution! There are about 20-25 deathclaws in that small area. The Deathclaw Promontory is east of Techatticup Mine, slightly to the south, you should be able to see the area across the river from the mine thanks to it's height. Alternatively, you can reach there from Cottonwood Cove, across the river. Once you're on the other side of the riverbed head north until you see an opening in a steep hill. It is not a labeled in-game location.

Appearances
