Tesla Armor (Fallout 3)

The Tesla Power Armor, or more often referred to as Tesla Armor by Enclave Soldiers, is a type of Power Armor deployed by the Enclave in the Capital Wasteland in 2277.

Background
Unlike the pre-Great War Tesla Armor, constructed from plans drawn up by the famed Serbian-American scientist Nikola Tesla and confiscated by the American government upon his death in 1943, it is a variant of the Enclave's Advanced Power Armor Mk II jury-rigged with a Tesla device that is capable of dispersing a large percentage of the damage done by directed-energy attacks.

Characteristics
The armor makes the operation of energy weapons by the wearer easier, boosting the Energy Weapons skill of the operator. Enclave soldiers using this armor tend to use rarer, more powerful energy weapons; such as Plasma Rifles. Although this is powerful armor and a great addition to the Lone Wanderer's wardrobe, the only place to get it (and spare suits for repairs) is by fighting Enclave soldiers or finding at least one on the Mothership Zeta add-on. The Enclave Soldiers' armor is usually acquired in rather poor condition. Despite this drawback, the armor is still one of the best you can find by the end of the game, bested only by the T-51b and the Enclave Hellfire Armor.

Tesla Armor can be given to Protector Casdin at Fort Independence for 5.56mm rounds, Frag Grenades, RadAway, or Stimpaks.

Appearances
The Tesla Power Armor appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * ) If you have on your person a fully repaired (100%) piece of Tesla Armor, and it is equipped, it will not depreciate no matter how many times you are hit. You must have another (not necessarily 100%) piece of Tesla Armor in your inventory for this to work. The unequipped piece of armor will take the damage instead.
 * When you have the Scoped Gauss Rifle, the Heavy Incinerator, or the Drone Cannon equipped the Tesla pack disappears.
