Chinese Stealth Armor (Fallout: New Vegas)

The 黑鬼 (Hēi Guǐ) stealth armor is a set of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Chinese Stealth Armor is a light armor that grants the wearer a sneak bonus of +5. It is repaired with recon armor, or with other Chinese Stealth armor. Unlike the Chinese stealth armor from Fallout 3, there is no stealth/invisibility field making this Chinese Stealth armor inferior. The lower durability and lower DT also make the Recon armor (Fallout: New Vegas) inferior in Fallout: New Vegas as well. (See: Recon armor (Fallout 3))

Locations
2 suits of Chinese stealth armor can be found only on the office level of Hoover Dam. It is located in a room with radioactive barrels, in a crate against the back wall. Its existence is hinted at on the only accessible terminal on the same level, with an engineer's log entry noting that a suit was found made of "unknown material" after the NCR took the dam.

There is also a Chinese stealth helmet in the game files, but it was cut from the game.

Bugs

 * When equipped, the PC's head may disappear. Removing and then putting it back on may cause your whole avatar to disappear.
 * When the Chinese stealth armor is equipped, your "Effects" panel on the pip-boy 3000 (or other) displays the armor name as "Initiate Armor".
 * Despite its altered properties, the Chinese Stealth Armor is affected by the same bug as its Fallout 3 version, in which the player can equip helmets, eyewear, and an unlimited number of hats, and still have them display on the character. This is due to the way the armor handles applying the helmet portion of the model, which does not properly set what armor slots are in use.
 * The armor may disappear if it is dropped.
 * Ironically, the Chinese Stealth Armor can sometimes appear invisible when wore and your weapon will only appear visible. Although you might be "invisible", npc sees you as normal.

Appearances
The Chinese stealth armor appears in Fallout: New Vegas, while the Chinese stealth helmet was cut from the final version of the game.
