When equipped, the armor provides a Damage Threshold of 22 as well as a bonus of +1 Charisma, +10 Action Points and +3 Critical Chance. With Jury Rigging, it can be repaired with any set of heavy armor. The Charisma, AP, and critical chance bonus come from an effect labeled as "87th Tribal Ways."
Visually, it appears as a full suit of heavy gauge steel similar to the armor worn by Legate Lanius, differed by having a light green and yellow tint, and having the Legion's bull icon painted onto the front and back of the breastplate. The Roman numerals for "87," LXXXVII, are spelled out down the back right of the armor.
Locations[]
The armor is located at Dry Wells, worn by the Legion centurion, Gaius Magnus who is found close to the radioactive crater surrounded by irradiated legionaires. Dry Wells and the boat required to access it are only available if one completes The Apocalypse by sending the nuclear missiles from the Divide to target either Legion territory solely or both Legion and NCR territory together.
The armor is not considered faction armor, and therefore it can be worn in any location, even NCR-affiliated ones without repercussions.
Behind the scenes[]
Originally, it was intended for the player character to be able to obtain the armor from a tributary case left by the Legion as a reward after siding with them. This idea was scrapped and the tributary case only exists as an unused object in the G.E.C.K.. Outside of using console commands, the only way to obtain the armor without incurring Infamy with the Legion is to complete Lonesome Road and destroy Dry Wells before completing Ring-a-Ding-Ding! and receiving the Mark of Caesar upon leaving the Tops.
