T-45d Power Armor (Fallout: New Vegas)

The T-45d power armor is a piece of armor in Fallout: New Vegas. It was the first version of power armor to be successfully deployed in battle by the United States in 2067 during the Sino-American War.

Background
In 2067, the first suit of T-45d power armor was deployed in Alaska during the start of the Anchorage Reclamation in the midst of the Sino-American War. This Power Armor was incredibly effective against Chinese tanks and infantry.

The T-45d lacks the mobility of later Power Armor models (such as the T-51b Power Armor) because of its less advanced servo design; as a result it limits the wearer's agility. While the T-45d armor is similar in its overall shape to the more advanced T-51b power armor, it is significantly less advanced than its later counterpart, and uses riveted steel plates instead of plastic composite materials in its construction.

Characteristics
It provides a damage threshold of 22 as well as a bonus of 10% to Radiation Resistance, +2 to Strength and a -2 penalty to Agility.

When equipping a weapon, instead of the barrel facing down it will face up.

Locations
Several T-45d can be found in the Brotherhood of Steel bunker, in the Hidden Valley area just east of Sloan, north of the NCR Correctional facility. The door is locked with a Very Hard lock, but if you found Veronica at the 188 Trader Station she can have you let in. The armor is in the armory. They are on a shelf to the left of the Brotherhood Knight. You can take a set of armor w/helmet through a crack at the end of the divider between you and the inside of the armory. There is also a staircase leading to underneath the metal flooring nearby, which leads into the armory. There is no karma loss from taking the armor, though the armor is marked as owned. You can't use the armor, but if you have a follower they can.

The armor can also be obtained after finishing the quest Still in the Dark and Eyesight to the Blind quests by joining the Brotherhood of Steel, it is given to you along with Power Armor Training. This version is in bad condition but it's free and you can wear it. Also in Caesars tent there is a foot locker which is locked on very hard with a T-45d helmet, though if you take this with a guard watching he will take everything that you took out of the foot locker plus anything that is in your weapon tab that isn't hidden.

Appearances
The T-45d power armor appears in Fallout: New Vegas and is identical to its appearance in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * When you sit down the shoulder pads will rotate and clip inside the body. The same glitch also occurs with the T-51b. It will only occur, however, if the player sits on a chair. Sitting on a sofa will not activate this bug.
 * When running with most two handed weapons it will clip the middle section of the armour, making it look like it is going through to your stomach.
