Composite Recon Armor

Composite Recon Armor and Composite Recon Helmet are pieces of armor in Fallout 3.

The armor is identical with Recon Armor in terms of stats and looks except for an increased durability (item health of 600 compared to 400 for the standard armor). The helmet is a Recon Armor Helmet with increased durability (item health of 70 compared to 40 for the standard helmet) and an additional bonus of +1 to Perception.

Obtaining
In base Fallout 3, both armor and helmet can only be obtained by using console commands. In Broken Steel, the helmet can be obtained from the Armory Master who is located inside of the Mobile Base Crawler at Adams Air Force Base.

Appearances
Composite Recon Armor and Composite Recon Helmet can be found in the game files of Fallout 3 but are not used anywhere. They can only be obtained by using console commands. The add-on Broken Steel adds another (identical) version of the helmet to the game which is worn by the Armory Master.

Bugs

 * When assigning to a hot key and switching from the helmet to a Power Helmet and back it may cause a serious graphical glitch in which you go bald and light shoots out of your head.(Confirmed to be fake)
 * (PS3) If you use the Robotics Expert perk to turn the Sentry Bot (Fallout 3) and gun turrets against the Enclave from the Mainframe, the Armory Master will be killed. Sometimes his body will appear without the Precision Gatling Laser. Alternatively, his body will be missing, but the Precision Gatling Laser will be present.

Trivia
Scribe Rothchild and Elder Lyons mention this armor in passing after Who Dares Wins. One of them will strike up a conversation with the other about "mark 2 Recon Armor," to which the other will reply that it is not yet operational.
