Chinese Stealth Armor (Fallout 3)

The 黑鬼 (Hēi Guǐ) Chinese stealth armor is an armor suit appearing in Operation: Anchorage.

Background
Chinese stealth armor was used during the Chinese invasion of Alaska and was the Chinese solution to invasion by U.S. forces in power armor. It was available to elite Chinese Crimson Dragoon troops as well as the Black Ghost counter-insurgency/terror units before and during the Great War.

Earlier Hei Gui models were also used during raids against the Hoover Dam secret laboratory and Limit-115 laboratory.

Characteristics
The armor is a form-fitting armored jumpsuit, with stealth camouflage system embedded. It generates a modulating field that transmits the reflected light from one side of an object to the other, making a person much harder to notice (but not completely invisible). The technology was the basis for the unstable "stealth boy" wrist units developed in the U.S.

It has a damage resistance comparable to recon armor, but also increases the stealth field stat by 15 when crouching.

Location
It can be obtained after the Operation Anchorage simulation. It is in the armory which you can open after completing the simulation.

If you choose to sleep with Moira brown, you can receive a special variant, called the Ching Chong Chinaman Stealth Armour.

Appearances
The Hei Gui Chinese stealth armor appears in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.

Behind the scenes

 * In Chinese (Mandarin), Hei Gui (黑鬼) literally means "Black Ghost". Hei (黑) means black, and Gui (鬼) means ghost, apparition, monster, demon, etc.

Bugs

 * With the stealth suit on you can equip as many pieces of headgear that you want and raise many stats substantially. If you do this, and then equip another suit of armor (ex. power armor) you will still be wearing all the headgear. This exploit can lead to HUGE stat advantages.
 * If you pickpocket a stealth suit from a Crimson Dragoon the stealth field will not activate when crouching, and the suit's stats are identical to those of the recon armor. Additionally, it lists under effects on the Pip-Boy as "Initiate's Armor."
 * Certain one-handed weapons like the Chinese pistol will cause the suit's textures to clip onscreen while reloading in the first-person view.
 * When a companion has the armor equipped and the stealth field is active (when crouched) you can initiate dialouge and they will stand, with the stealth field still active,and then you can equip them with other armor and when you exit dialouge, the armor will have the stealth field still active when crouching, an will deactivate when standing up and activate when crouching, like the armor does (tested on Xbox 360 with clover, untested with any other systems.)
