Enclave soldier

Enclave Soldiers are the infantry of the Enclave's Armed Forces.

Their equipment in the field greatly varies, but tends to be superior to enemy factions, namely the Brotherhood of Steel. In the 2240s they usually wore Advanced Power Armor or its Mark II variant, and were equipped with either P94 Plasma Rifles, Gauss Rifles, or Pulse Rifles. In the 2270s, they switched to Advanced Power Armor Mk II and Tesla Power Armor; their weaponry of choice was usually Laser or Plasma Rifles.

In Fallout 3, most Enclave Soldiers wear Advanced Power Armor Mk II (Enclave Power Armor) are armed with Laser Rifles or occasionaly Laser Pistols. Enclave Soldiers equipped with Tesla Power Armor often carry heavier equipment, typically being armed with Plasma Rifles or Gatling Lasers, and occasionally carrying Miniguns or Missile Launchers. Enclave Soldiers in Tesla Power Armor become more common at higher levels, and usually appear in very specific locations. For example, guarding the exit from Raven Rock, or serving as Colonel Autumn's personal bodyguards. However, they still appear in the Wasteland on patrol and in Vertibird Gunships assault units, as well as guarding camps.

Enclave Soldiers in Fallout 3 often appear in patrols of three to six soldiers, sometimes supported by an Officer. Heavily defended outposts include up to an entire company, including officers, caged Deathclaws and even Vertibird Gunships. Enclave Soldiers use tactical training in combat, such as flanking. They also have somewhat more health than comparable factions, namely Brotherhood of Steel soldiers or Talon Company Mercenaries. This, matched with their Power Armor and Energy Weapons, make them superior opponents to any faction in Fallout.

Occasionally Enclave Soldiers and Enclave Officers found randomly in the Wasteland will appear as friendly to the player. If you speak to them they will either say "Hey There." or "Yeah.." and the only dialog option is "See You later". This has been reported on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC versions of Fallout 3
