Maxson's Battlecoat

Maxson's battlecoat is a unique piece of clothing in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
Maxson's battlecoat is worn by Elder Arthur Maxson, leader of the East Coast Brotherhood of Steel, and consists of a black BOS officer uniform underneath a heavy padded leather coat with the Brotherhood insignia displayed on the right shoulder. Its already formidable protection can be enhanced even further by upgrading it with the ballistic weave armor mod. While the coat can't be worn underneath additional armor pieces, fully upgraded it offers better protection than the Railroad armored coat V and weighs less. On top of that, it grants a bonus to Perception.

Various terminal entries aboard the Prydwen shed some light on the battlecoat's background and development, even mentioning its considerable weight.

Locations
The battlecoat is worn by Elder Maxson. Since Maxson cannot be pickpocketed, using the Pickpocket perk level 4 will not work. The only way to obtain the battlecoat is to kill Maxson and take it from his body.
 * The simplest way is to kill Maxson aboard the Prydwen. This must be done before starting The Nuclear Option, otherwise Maxson is flagged as essential and cannot be killed, making the battlecoat impossible to acquire, but only if one sided with the Brotherhood. He is still killable if one sided with the Minutemen.
 * If the player character sides with the Institute for the end of the game, the penultimate mission Airship Down will have the player character raid the Boston Airport and use a synth to hack Liberty Prime and use it to destroy the Prydwen. At some point during the battle, a vertibird will drop Maxson, outfitted in a full suit of T-60f power armor. The player character must ensure to loot the battlecoat before the Prydwen is destroyed, otherwise Maxson will disappear along with his clothing. The best way to eliminate Maxson in time is to have the synth hacking Liberty Prime destroyed, and staying at the bottom of Liberty Prime's gantry. As long as the player character doesn't reach the top of the gantry, the synth will not respawn, thus giving the player character plenty of time to kill Maxson, loot him, then continue the mission. This method also allows the player character to obtain Maxson's unique power armor with the elder paint mod, and his unique weapon, Final Judgment.
 * If the player sides with the Railroad, the mission Rockets' Red Glare will have the player character sabotage the Prydwen. After planting the bombs, when exiting the Prydwen, Maxson will be on the command deck, where he can be killed and his battlecoat and the Final Judgment Gatling laser can be obtained. However, this can only be done if the player does NOT infiltrate the Prydwen posing as a Brotherhood member.
 * It is possible to obtain the coat during the quest Show No Mercy by pushing Maxson off of the Prydwen's deck; the resulting fall will most likely kill him (unless he lands in water) allowing the player character to simply loot the coat from his body (It is unconfirmed, but this method may cause the Brotherhood to turn hostile because of Maxson's death but shouldn't since he was never attacked.)

Bugs

 * Adding Elder Maxson's battlecoat to the Sole Survivor's inventory via console commands can result in leaving Maxson without clothes.
