Merc Outfit (Fallout 3)

s are a kind of armor in Fallout 3, coming in several variants with different appearances but identical stats. Each variant can be repaired using any of the other Merc Outfits.

Oddly enough, the corpses of dead mercenaries found around the game wear leather armor and not any variant of the merc outfits. In Point Lookout, these outfits are worn by Smugglers.

Merc Adventurer Outfit
Merc Adventurer Outfits can be looted from several NPC's such as Nathan and Billy Creel, both in Megaton, Dave in Republic of Dave, Brock and Shrapnel, both in Rivet city, Bittercup in Big Town and Justin (The Family) in Meresti Metro Station. It will also randomly spawn in lockers and footlockers. The appearance of the male variant is a large black vest with a red long sleeved undershirt. While the female variant is the same though it is short sleeved and exposes the navel (Belly button).

Merc Charmer Outfit
A blue and grey outfit, the male version resembling a three piece suit, heavily stitched and reinforced, and the female version a ripped and torn business suit. Bannon sells one and they can also be found on Pronto, the owner of Lock and Load and Theo, the dead ammo-carrying ranger in the Our Lady of Hope Hospital during the Reilly's Rangers quest. Nova and Trinnie wear it. It will also random spawn in lockers and footlockers.

Merc Cruiser Outfit
The Merc Cruiser outfit comprises a long leather coat with the arms removed, worn over a white t-shirt (male) or a white muscle shirt (female). The lower part of the armor consists of a pair of stitched and reinforced pants with chains around the ankles and a pair of army boots. The pants look like they may have been sewn together by different pieces of fabric. This outfit is worn by a number of NPCs including Slavers, Megaton residents, Three Dog, Lucy West, Prime, and Wernher. It will also random spawn in lockers and footlockers.

Merc Grunt Outfit
The outfit consists of a dirty white teeshirt (white tanktop for female) and brown cargo pants, tucked into shin-high army boots. It can be found on several NPC's, including Sid and Argyle. It will also random spawn in lockers and footlockers. The female version also has a small splash of blood on the left thigh.

Merc Troublemaker Outfit
A bulky black and dark blue leather jacket tucked into black gloves with blue trousers and black knee-high boots. On the male version there are two bandoliers strapped diagonally around the torso. The female version does away with the belted ammo and instead has several leather cartridge carrying belts around the waist. Can be found on many Slavers in Paradise Falls (namely Grouse) or in the Lincoln Memorial (Silas and many other Slavers) but it can be found on other people such as Evan King. It will also random spawn in lockers and footlockers.

Merc Veteran Outfit
Very similar to the Merc Cruiser outfit, but in faded/blued black and a dust mask is worn around the neck. The male version adds thick mesh around the wrists and shoulders and three medals on the chest. Merc Veteran Outfits can be found on many slavers and some NPCs such as Goalie Ledoux. It will also random spawn in lockers and footlockers.

Wasteland Legend Outfit
The Wasteland Legend Outfit is identical with the Merc Veteran Outfit, all except the name. It will spawn randomly in lockers and footlockers or be sold by merchants. With the Point Lookout add-on, a female smuggler wearing the Legend Outfit will spawn in the Point Lookout Lighthouse.

I found mine in a locker inside evergreen hill near the locked door with the fatman inside (average). in a locker near the bed and safe (average).

Cut versions
These armors can be found in Fallout 3 ' s game files but are not actually used anywhere in the game. They can only be obtained by using console commands.

Explorer's Gear
Explorer's Gear is identical in looks and stats with the Merc Troublemaker Outfit except for being considerably lighter (weight of 3).

Wastelander's Gear
Wastelander's Gear is also identical with the Merc Troublemaker Outfit except for its weight. It's even lighter than the Explorer's Gear at only 2 pounds.
