Behind the scenes

 * The game and cutscene model of the armor was created by Tramell Ray Isaac for Fallout.
 * According to Tim Cain, the drop-down optic on the helmets is directly taken from a similar optic used by a cult in the film The City of Lost Children.
 * Due to technical issues, the art model needed to be redesigned for the cancelled Van Buren.
 * The armor was mentioned on Bethesda UK Twitter.
