Combat armor (Fallout)

	For an overview of combat armor variants in all games, as well as background information, see combat armor.

The combat armor is a piece of armor in Fallout and Fallout 2.

BackgroundEdit

Modeled after the human silhouette, combat armors were designed to provide balanced protection without limiting user mobility. They are a diverse family of personal body armor with varying degrees of sophistication, ranging from the earliest iterations developed by the United States Army^[1] to the cutting-edge riot gears that came into use prior to the Great War.^[2]

CharacteristicsEdit

Combat armor is the epitome of non-powered armor in the wastes, and was much favored by police and military forces for their outstanding durability coupled with their high level of maneuverability. The armor itself consists of a large chest plate and helmet constructed out of high-level defensive polymers. It is highly effective armor for medium level player characters, as it provides good resistance against small arms fire, laser beams and blasts of plasma energy alike.

Combat armor also grants the wearer +20% Radiation Resistance. This is not documented anywhere in or out of the game.
