Enclave Hellfire Armor

Enclave Hellfire armor is a heat-resistant power armor worn by high level Enclave soldiers and the specialized, elite Enclave Hellfire troopers. It is added with the Broken Steel add-on for Fallout 3.

Background
This armor is the result of a post-War research project undertaken by the Enclave at the Adams Air Force Base. It was one of several concurrently active research projects, including one on eyebots, but ultimately came to be the favored project to be fully completed; other projects, much to the chagrin of researchers such as Whitley, were canceled in favor of the new model of power armor by Colonel Augustus Autumn.

As the state of the art power armor, conclusively it is the best and most advanced model of power armor to be revealed to date. Its unique Duraframe design allows it to provide more protection than any other model of power armor in the Fallout universe due to its superior protection, fire resistance, respectable radiation resistance, its improved durability, as well as its unique Duraframe components.

Characteristics
This armor is equal to the T-51b power armor (but not the version included in the Operation: Anchorage add-on) in terms of DR, item HP, and weight. It does, however, offer inferior rad resistance, as well as -1 Charisma for the Hellfire helmet as opposed to the T-51b power helmet which has +1 Charisma. The armor's advantage is the +30 Fire resistance, and a +1 Strength stat it also provides.

In contrast to the T-51b which is limited to merchant repair, the Enclave Hellfire armor can be repaired with other sets of Hellfire armor. This advantage alone may make it the better choice among the game's several power armors. That should not be taken for granted, however, as Hellfire troopers are still an uncommon enemy.

The armor is far less stylized than other Enclave armors, and can, at longer distances, be mistaken for T-45d power armor. This can lead to unexpected run-ins with powerful troops, so be cautious if you can't see tick marks for non-player characters.
