Prototype Medic Power Armor

Pansy! Take a shot of vitamin M and keep fighting!

The Prototype Medic Power Armor, also known as the MP-47/A Medic Power Armor or Medic Armor, is a unique variant of the Power Armor.[1]

Background

The MP-47/A Medic Power Armor was in prototype phase and was designed to protect soldiers in the field by acting as an automated medic.[1] It has the ability to inject Med-X, though support for other injectables such as Stimpaks, were slated for inclusion in the production unit.[1] The armor is able to detect the limb condition of its wearer, injecting Med-X as needed.[2] The armor is also installed with verbal feedback systems, making it so that "even a child" could use it.[2]

The armor had the ability to report command level data to field officers and had a "special self-destruct" that could deliver a lethal injection to deserters, though these functions remain offline.[3]

Gameplay

The Prototype Medic Power Armor has the ability to administer Med-X to the wearer, which it will do if their health drops below 33% or if a limb condition drops below 25%. Med-X will be dispensed every 2.5 (in-game) hours. Unlike standard Med-X injections, this process carries no risk of addiction, though it draws from the wearer's supply of Med-X, necessitating the user to have a steady supply. Its appearance is nearly identical to the Power Armor, apart from the shoulder guards, which have U.S. military roundels on them, rather than Brotherhood of Steel insignia.

In addition to the Med-X dispensing system, the armor features an onboard voice that resembles a Mister Gutsy. The voice will alert the user if it detects an enemy presence, which can aid the user if enemies don't appear on the compass.

Location

  • The armor is found on a dead Brotherhood of Steel initiate inside the Olney Sewers, stuck in a culvert with a wastelander and mercenary, also dead. Enter through either of the entrances to the sewer, and make the way to the narrow hallway. The door leading to the room is located on the outward side of the hallway, the entrance is usually guarded by a Deathclaw.

Notes

  • Med-X administered by the suit is registered differently from Med-X that is administered normally. On the Pip-Boy 3000 effects section, it will read "suit Med-X - Ignore Neg Eff +1, Dam. Res. +25". The extra effect of the suit's Med-X ("Ignore Neg Eff +1") negates the effects of crippled limbs (i.e. if sustained a crippled leg, the suit's Med-X will prevent limping). Med-X can also be co-administered the normal way, which will be listed separately (but concurrently) as "Med-X - dam. res. +25." This allows one to receive a total of +50 damage resistance from Med-X.
    • The "Ignore Neg Eff" status also suppresses the negative effects of all addictions, other than Med-X withdrawal. This does not cure addictions, nor does it prevent the player from removing them by visiting a doctor or using My First Laboratory.
  • The armor will always shout out phrases such as "Let 'em eat lead!" to alert the wearer of danger. This can be useful for players with a low Perception stat.
  • This armor remains in the Fallout: New Vegas game files as legacy content.
  • Power Armor can only be worn if the player 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.
  • Unused Content In the room that contains the T-51b Power Armor at Fort Constantine, the terminal to unlock the stasis field and retrieve the armor says "Medical Armor Prototype." The MS14 in the EditorID of the armor, MS14PowerArmorMorphine, corresponds to the quest You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head.

Quotes

Bugs

  • PCPC Playstation 3Playstation 3 Xbox 360Xbox 360 The armor may disappear if the player character enters the sewer with a companion but does not collect the armor while inside for the first time. Why this happens is unknown. The conditions vary.
  • Playstation 3Playstation 3 Xbox 360Xbox 360 If the PMPA is broken, attempting to equip it and then exiting the Pip-Boy still initializes the aforementioned quote regarding equipping the armor.

The prototype unit only has Med-X delivery systems. The production unit will include Stimpaks and other injectables."

  2. 2.0 2.1 "User requirements for Medic Armor stated that "even a child" should be able to use it without reading this manual. Therefore an onboard computer system with verbal feedback response systems has been installed. The soldier in the field puts on the armor, and the armor does the rest. It automatically senses the limb condition of the soldier and applies Med-X only if needed."
