Samurai Armor

Samurai armor and the matching samurai helmet are pieces of armor which are added to Fallout 3 in the Mothership Zeta add-on, worn by Toshiro Kago.

The armor provides a damage resistance of 30 as well as bonuses of 10 to melee damage and the Melee Weapons skill, the helmet sports a damage resistance of 5. Metal armor can be used to repair the armor and likewise the helmet can be patched up with metal helmets.

Obtaining
The armor can be obtained by reverse pickpocketing Toshiro Kago, or killing him and taking his armor. You will lose no karma and no one onboard the ship will become hostile for doing so.

Pickpocketing Toshiro Kago is generally quite hard, even with a Stealth boy. Power armor of any kind should be effective as a replacement. It is seemingly far less time consuming trying to pickpocket his armor first than his helmet. (Tested PS3).

There is little chance of obtaining this armor without either pickpocketing Kago or killing him in cold blood. He is almost never in harm's way, so it is unlikely that he will be killed by the aliens.

You can obtain his samurai armor and samurai helmet by reverse-pickpocketing him a stronger set of armor such as the power armor and power helmet that can be found in the Cargo hold. Go through a door that loads another area and then come back and he will be wearing the power armor. his samurai armor will be in his inventory. He is difficult to steal from so try using a stealth boy and while hidden, reverse pickpocket a cryo mine or cryo grenade into his inventory and back away. When the cryo explodes, he will be stunned, allowing you to run up to him, access his inventory, and pickpocket will. If he had his sword, he may also drop it while frozen. This works on all NPC's.

Appearances
The samurai armor and samurai helmet appear only in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.

Behind the scenes

 * The armor's emblem is similar to that of the Oda clan during the Azuchi–Momoyama period.


 * The armor's emblem shown in the Pip-Boy, however, is that of the Tokugawa clan from the same era and onward.
 * This is also the only clothing (except Elder Lyons' robe) that covers the player's left hand and Pip-Boy 3000, but only appears this way in the male version. However, you can still use the Pip-Boy without it being covered up.
