Chinese Stealth Armor (Fallout: New Vegas)

The 黑鬼 (Hēi Guǐ) stealth armor is a set of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
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 (with the Jury Rigger perk it can also be repaired with Wasteland Doctor Fatigues and the Advanced radiation suit (Fallout: New Vegas)). Unlike the Chinese stealth armor from Fallout 3, there is no stealth/invisibility field making this Chinese Stealth armor inferior. The lower durability and lower DT also makes the Recon armor (Fallout: New Vegas) better. 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
2 suits of Chinese stealth armor can be found only on the office level of Hoover Dam. They are located in a room with radioactive barrels, turn left and they are in a crate against the back wall. Their existence is hinted at on the only accessible terminal on the same level, with an engineer's log entry noting that a suit was found made of "unknown material" 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.

Bugs

 * When equipped, the PC's head may disappear. Removing and then putting it back on may cause your whole avatar to disappear.
 * When the Chinese stealth armor is equipped, your "Effects" panel on the pip-boy 3000 (or other) displays the armor name as "Initiate Armor".
 * Despite its altered properties, the Chinese Stealth Armor is affected by the same bug as its Fallout 3 version, in which the player can equip helmets, eyewear, and an unlimited number of hats, and still have them display on the character. This is due to the way the armor handles applying the helmet portion of the model, which does not properly set what armor slots are in use. After installing the new patch, this does not happen as you can only put on one hat/helmet. (Confirmed on Xbox 360 only)
 * The armor may disappear if it is dropped.
 * The Chinese Stealth Armor can sometimes appear invisible when worn and only your weapon will appear visible. Although you might appear "invisible", any npc will see you as normal.

Appearances
The Chinese stealth armor appears in Fallout: New Vegas, while the Chinese stealth helmet was cut from the final version of the game.
