T-45d power armor

An older, inferior model created as the result of the power armor research project, this type of armor has seen its first deployment against the Chinese invaders in Alaska, where it contributed tremendously to the American war effort. Nearly two centuries later, a hundred or so of these suits are used by the Capital Wasteland Brotherhood of Steel, of course, with modifications and makeshift repairs.

While it is similar to the pre-War T-51b Power Armor, it looks even more clunky, with riveted steel plates instead of the more rounded, streamlined looks of T-51b. Its underarmor is also more complex than that of the T-51b blue one (wires, metal elements).

Power Armor Training is required to wear any power armor.
