Marine armor (Far Harbor)

Marine armor is a set of armor in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor.

Characteristics
Marine armor is a top-tier armor set exclusive to the island of Far Harbor. The name references its utilization by US Marines before the Great War, a fact that gets reflected by the armor's protective qualities which are stated to be surpassed only by power armor. Its Damage Resistance and Energy Resistance are far superior to what a full set of upgraded heavy combat armor can provide, topped off with a decent amount of Radiation Resistance, to boot.

The downside is the armor's extremely high weight - at 97 pounds for the full set, it weighs as much as T-60 power armor without a frame. It may be possible that the Marine Armor was designed either as a precursor technology or to deliberately bridge the gap between combat armor and power armor.

Aesthetically, Marine armor appears like a cross between an early-stage power armor prototype and an EOD suit, with thick reinforced plating covering every part of the body. The torso piece incorporates a power pack mounted to its back as well as a thick pipe on the chest that might hint at some sort of air filtration or cooling system. Both are purely cosmetic and do not add any functionality to the armor in-game. The same is true for the armor's multiple pockets and for its helmet which, despite sporting a lamp above the visor, does not actually provide a light source to replace the Pip-Boy.

Locations

 * The only complete set of Marine armor in the game is scattered across three steamer trunks located in wrecked ships off the coast of Far Harbor. Retrieving the last of DiMA's memories from the Church of the Children of Atom during the quest Best Left Forgotten starts a miscellaneous quest to recover the armor and marks the three chests' locations on the map. The steamer trunks only appear upon acquisition of this quest, thus making it impossible to claim the armor beforehand. All armor pieces may spawn with random leveled modifications.
 * Both legs can be found due west of Haddock Cove in the easternmost section of the sunken ship.
 * The chest, helmet, tactical helmet, and the Marine wetsuit are located south by southwest of Rayburn Point in a sunken shipping container.
 * Both arms can be found due east of the Harbor Grand Hotel on the stern of a sunken ship.
 * Marine Armor pieces are occasionally available for purchase from Kane, the Children of Atom's armor vendor in The Nucleus.
 * Several of the Children of Atom Zealots in and around the Nucleus including Grand Zealot Richter wear partial sets with the Zealot modification. None of these sets includes a helmet.

Mods

 * Zealot's Marine armor: Standard (Child of Atom top guards wear this version)
 * Assault Marine armor: Improves Damage, Energy and Radiation Resistance. Can be acquired through the quest Best Left Forgotten. Can also be applied at an armor workbench with the right perks.
 * Inquisitor's Marine armor: Improves Damage, Energy and Radiation Resistance. It is, for the most part, exactly the same as the assault version, but the chest piece differs very slightly in its resistances. (+1 point in energy resistance and -1 point in damage resistance.) Cosmetically, it is a more defined version of the zealot armor.

Variants
The specialized "Recon" Marine armor items are the legendary versions of the marine armor set and which can still be upgraded at the armor workbench. They can be purchased from various vendors around the island.
 * Recon Marine helmet (+1 Agility and Perception): Purchased from Brooks in Far Harbor.
 * Recon Marine chest piece (Reduces damage while standing and not moving by 15%): Purchased from Cog in Acadia.
 * Recon Marine right arm (Increases wearer’s movement speed by 10%): Purchased from Sister Mai in the Children of Atom base, The Nucleus.
 * Recon Marine left arm (Temporarily slows time during combat when the Sole Survivor's Hit Points are at 20% or less): Purchased from Kane in the Children of Atom base, The Nucleus.
 * Atom's Bulwark (Damage resistance and energy resistance increase with rads): The High Confessor gives this armor piece to the Sole Survivor after completing Reformation. It can spawn as a chest piece or any limb piece.

The Marine tactical helmet is a variant that is available as part of the miscellaneous quest mentioned above. This variant has significantly lower resistances than the regular assault helmet due to its lack of armor plating. It bears a faint visual resemblance to the Chinese stealth armor's helmet, especially when combined with only the wetsuit. It is also occasionally sold by Brother Kane in The Nucleus.
