Chinese Stealth Armor (Fallout 3)

The Hei Gui Chinese Stealth Armor is an armor suit appearing in Operation: Anchorage.

Background
The armor is a form-fitting armored jumpsuit, with stealth camouflage system embedded. It generates a modulating field that transmits the reflected light from one side of an object to the other, making a person much harder to notice (but not completely invisible). The technology was the basis for the unstable "Stealth Boy" wrist units developed in the U.S.

Chinese Stealth Armor was used during the Chinese invasion of Alaska and was the Chinese solution to invasion by U.S. forces in power armor. It was available to elite Chinese Crimson Dragoon troops, as well as the Black Ghost counter-insurgency/terror units before and during the Great War.

Earlier Hei Gui models were also used during raids against the Hoover Dam secret laboratory and Limit-115 laboratory.

Appearances

 * The Hei Gui Stealth Armor, originally set to appear in Van Buren, appears in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.

Behind the scenes

 * In Chinese, Hei Gui (黑鬼) literally means "Black Ghost". Hei (黑) means black, and Gui (鬼) means ghost, apparition, etc.

Bugs

 * With the stealth suit on you can equip as many pieces of headgear that you want and raise many stats substantially. If you do this, and then equip another suit of armor (ex. Power Armor) you will still be wearing all the headgear. This exploit can lead to HUGE stat advantages.
 * If you pickpocket a stealth suit from a Crimson Dragoon the stealth field will not activate when crouching, and the suit's stats are identical to those of the recon armor. Additionally, it lists under effects on the Pipboy as "Initiate's Armor."
 * Certain one-handed weapons like the Chinese Pistol will cause the suit's textures to clip onscreen while reloading in the first-person view.
 * On the PS3 while wearing the Chinese Stealth Armor, you sometimes become completely invisible (actually invisible) even while standing also hostile NPC's shoot toward your feet but never actually hitting you causing you to become invincible.
