Chinese Stealth Armor (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Chinese stealth armor is a piece 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 others Chinese Stealth armors. Unlike the Chinese stealth armor from Fallout 3, this version provides no stealth field when crouched. The armor does make stealth boys last longer. (No evidence of this in GECK)

For all those who are dissapointed about the stealth field, you can use the GECK to edit this item. Start by creating a new object effect with Apparel as the type, simply add the IncreaseSkillSneak, and then add the Stealth Boy Invis effect. Set the conditional of the stealth boy effect as "IsSneaking" and run on subject. Then edit the armor and change the effect from EnchReconArmor to the newly created effect. On a side note, you may need to run GECK as an administrator on PC in order for it to save correctly.

Locations
2 suits of Chinese stealth armor can only be found on the office level of Hoover Dam. It is located in a room with radioactive barrels, in a crate against the back wall. Its existence is hinted at on the only accessible terminal on the same level.

Hints of Usage

 * Giving one suit to companion Boone along with a suppressed sniper rifle makes for an extremely deadly force to be reckoned with.

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".
