Tribal Power Armor

Tribal Power Armor is variant of the T-45d Power Armor found in The Pitt.

Obtaining
It is granted to the player by Everett for finding all 100 Steel Ingots. He calls it the prize of his collection.

Characteristics
It is aesthetically identical to Ashur's Power Armor. Everett notes this as being intended by the Armor's designers, Pitt natives who came to see Ashur as a god. It was one of the original suits of Power Armor worn by the Brotherhood of Steel. While they are identical in design, their effects vary. Ashur's Power Armor has a + 1 point to Charisma, and +10 Radiation resistance. The Tribal Power Armor has +15 AP's and +5 to Melee Weapons, as well as the +1 to Luck and Strength, and the -1 to Agility that both armors possess. The Tribal armor also has 5 points less DR.

Because of the net gain in APs and Luck, this armor is suitable for Small Gunners as well as those who prefer melee in combination with V.A.T.S. In comparison, Ranger Battle Armor grants 5 AP, no Strength bonus, and a Small Guns boost that becomes obsolete when the Player skill is maxed.

However, Tribal Power Armor is heavier, suffers a lower DR, and requires Power Armor Training. Marksmen who prefer Free Aim will benefit more from other types of Power Armor. For lower-level Small Gunners, Ranger Battle Armor can be used immediately, boosts your skill, and should have a lower Sneak penalty.

Appearances
The Tribal Power Armor appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on The Pitt.

Trivia

 * This and Ashur's Power Armor share the same black and yellow colors of Pittsburgh's professional sports teams: Steelers, Pirates and Penguins. Also, when you receive the item from Everett he says that "You're one hell of a steeler.", possibly a nod to the football team, as some of the developers of The Pitt actually came from Pittsburgh.
 * However, it is much more likely a reference to the steel-working industry of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's steel industry began in 1901 with the creation of the US Steel Corporation, some 32 years prior to the creation of the Pittsburgh Pirates, which were later renamed the "Steelers."  The team was named in honor of the City's history, and Fallout most likely follows the same respects.
