Power Armor (Fallout 3)

T-45 power armor is a type of armor in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
Power armor can only be worn if the player character has gained the Power Armor Training perk, either by talking to Paladin Gunny in the Citadel, by starting the Take it Back! quest, or by completing the Anchorage Reclamation simulation. T-45d power armor can be repaired using components from the T-51b power armor, but the reverse is not possible. All non-unique variants of T-45d power armor have identical properties and effects, and only differ in their appearance and use in certain quests.

Power armor and helmet

 * In the trenches near the Washington Monument by the bunker and up the stairs by the entrance are dead paladins, both wearing full suits of armor.
 * Outside the GNR building plaza the player character can find a few dead paladins following the super mutant attack.
 * Regular power armor can be acquired from the Capital Wasteland's merchants, although they rarely appear in stock.
 * Crow will sell power armor suits when the player character expands his inventory twice.
 * Friday, a vendor in the Pitt Downtown, also sells them.
 * The Lone Wanderer receives a complete suit of power armor in 100% condition from Sarah Lyons at the beginning of the game's final quest, Take it Back!
 * When the Brotherhood of Steel is attacking the mobile base crawler, some paladins may die in the assault, making an opportunity for the player character to loot the bodies and obtain regular or Brotherhood power armor.
 * When doing the quest Following in His Footsteps upon first meeting Sarah Lyons and following her through the alley, the deceased Initiate Jennings will be lying on a mattress with a full suit of armor. The armor is in poor condition.
 * Harkness in Rivet City may be seen wearing the armor after beating the game if Broken Steel is installed.
