Enclave Hellfire Armor

 is a heat-resistant power armor worn by the specialized Enclave Hellfire troopers and some Enclave Soldiers. Deployed by the Enclave in 2277, the technology behind Hellfire armor is supposedly more advanced than that of the Tesla armor also utilized by Enclave forces.

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 a -1 charisma stat for the Hellfire helmet as opposed to the T-51b helmet which has a +1 charisma stat. 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 armour is far less stylized than other Enclave armours, and can, at longer distances, be mistaken for standard T-45d Power Armour. This can lead to unexpected run-ins with powerful troops, so be cautious if you can't see tick marks for NPC's.

Appearances
appears in the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel.

Bugs

 * The Enclave Hellfire helmet is not added to the list of "animation restricted" armors, meaning that NPCs wearing it will still engage in animations that may not account for the added bulk of the armor. Perhaps the most visible consequence of this is if the armor is given to Jericho while he has cigarettes in his inventory: he will continue to chain-smoke, somehow placing the cigarette in his mouth while wearing the helmet.
