Chinese Stealth Armor (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Chinese stealth armor is a set of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
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 counter-insurgency/terror units before and during the Great War.The Chinese stealth armor is a light armor that grants the wearer a Sneak bonus of +5. It is repaired with recon armor, or with other Chinese stealth armor. Unlike the Chinese stealth armor from Fallout 3, there is no invisibility field. The lower durability and lower DT also makes the recon armor more appealing. However, recon armor is considered "Medium" armor and therefore reduces walking speed and ability to sneak well, while the "Light" Chinese armor will not.

Locations
Two suits of Chinese stealth armor can be found on the office level of Hoover Dam. They are located in a storage room with some radioactive barrels, in a wooden crate to the left as the player enters the room. There are several wooden crates here, and all but the one containing the suits of armor is empty. The storage room is located in the southwest corner of the western area. The armors' existence is hinted at on the only accessible terminal on the same level, in an engineer's log entry noting that a suit made of "unknown material" was found after the NCR took the dam.

Presumably, these are the suits worn by the Chinese Infiltrators who were sealed inside Sub-level 1C during the Hoover Sabotage. Being an older model than those deployed in Anchorage and mainland China, this variant doesn't include the advanced stealth systems of the later models.

Bugs

 * Because the armor is marked as owned by the NCR, a number of undesirable effects can occur if the armor is not "fenced," as described above:
 * Wearing the armor at the Brotherhood of Steel bunker may make all inhabitants hostile to you, due to both copies of the suit being owned by the NCR.
 * When entering the Camp McCarran interrogation room, Carrie Boyd may take the Chinese Stealth armor when confiscating your weapons. After leaving the interrogation room she will return the weapons, but not your armor.
 * Though the armor covers the full face and head, hats, masks, and glasses can be worn with this armor equipped. This is most noticeable on companions: with this armor equipped, Boone will wear his beret and sunglasses, Veronica will wear her hood, Cass will wear her cowboy hat, and Arcade will wear his glasses.
 * Though it allows for additional face and head items to be worn, the Chinese stealth armor does not allow for unlimited headgear to be worn, as the Operation: Anchorage version did.
 * If you drop the armor and drag it, the armor will do constant loops until you either drop it or it gets stopped by an object.
