The  is an armor set in Fallout 4.

Background

It can be the best armor choice for end-game players, as energy is typically the most deadly type of damage. It can be upgraded with pocketed, cushioned, strengthened, lead-lined, and other standard modifications.

Locations
Can be found on various generation 1 and generation 2 synth soldiers throughout the Commonwealth.
