Lightweight Metal Armor

The lightweight metal armor is a piece of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Modified for long-range travel, this variant upon metal armor provides the same protection as standard metal armor at only 2/3rds the weight (20 lb). Its DT is high enough to counter virtually any attack in the early stages of the game and can be repaired with regular metal armor. However; like all metal armor it reduces the wearer's agility. This metal armor is almost the same as normal but has no shoulder defense. The lightweight metal armor can last the player through a large portion of the game, especially considering how common Metal Armor is.

Locations
It cannot be found anywhere in game, as it comes with the Mercenary Pack and has to be pre-ordered from Best Buy in the US, from Gamestation in the UK, from JB Hi Fi in Australia, from BT Games in South Africa, or from Amazon within Germany. It is given to the player at the start of the game if they have purchased and downloaded the Mercenary Pack, along with the Mercenary's grenade rifle.
