Lightweight Metal Armor

The lightweight metal armor is a piece of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Modified for long-range travel, this variant upon metal armor provides the same protection as standard metal armor at only 2/3rds the weight (20 lb) and 5 times the item hp. Its DT is high enough to counter virtually any attack in the early stages of the game and can be repaired with regular metal armor. However; like all metal armor it reduces the wearer's agility. This metal armor is almost the same as normal but has no shoulder defense. The lightweight metal armor can last the player through a large portion of the game, especially considering how common Metal Armor is.

Variants

 * Metal armor

Locations
Originally, the only way to acquire this armor was by redeeming the code that came with the pre-order exclusive Mercenary Pack. It can now also be acquired by purchasing the upcoming add-on Courier's Stash.
