General Chase's overcoat is a unique piece of clothing in the Fallout 3 add-ons Operation: Anchorage and Mothership Zeta. The coat is a re-skinned version of Colonel Autumn's uniform from the base game.

Background[]

This winterized LAS-009 General's overcoat[1] is worn together with a winterized US Army officer uniform and features Constantine Chase's ribbons and his size 10 combat boots.[2]

Versions[]

Operation: Anchorage[]

The overcoat is worn by General Constantine Chase inside the Anchorage Reclamation simulation. It is not available to the player character without the use of console commands in the pc version or by hex editing on the Xbox 360.

If acquired, it cannot be repaired by merchants and sports a Damage Resistance of 20 as well as bonuses of 1 to Charisma, 10 to Small Guns and 5 to Speech.

Mothership Zeta[]

A playable version of Chase's overcoat can be found aboard Mothership Zeta. It provides a Damage Resistance of 20 as well as bonuses of 1 to Charisma, 10 to Small Guns and 5 to Speech, as above, but has an increased weight and can be repaired by merchants or with the merc grunt outfit, Enclave officer uniform, pre-War hat, pre-War bonnet, (dirty) pre-War casualwear and (dirty) pre-War spring outfit.

Due to a programming error, it appears as a winterized combat armor.

Locations[]

  1. Talk to Sally, who says she did not know the player character would also go exploring. She starts the mobile trash bin before one can get out. After a few trash stops and some aliens, she gets out, tries "something" and one then gets bumped around and then 'dumped' into the waste pile - injured. Use the door to the right.
  2. The first room has the smashers and the two safes and a med box on it to the left following the path around - but they are on the other side of the smashers.
  3. After passing through this room comes the longer hallway with a guardian drone along with a healing archway to the right.
  4. The next room has a drone in it as one proceeds through it to the doorway, Sally lets the player character know that "some aliens are coming from behind" and she will try to hold them off, in that next room - just past the entrance and to the right - this is a high-ceiling room with a low metal catwalk and railing, the locker is on the floor and to the right, it is against the wall with a container to its left side.

Behind the scenes[]

FO3OA Chase's Ribbons

A breakdown of the ribbons on Chase's uniform.

  • Award ribbons on Chase's coat are split into two blocks worn above the left and right breast, without any devices or badges (in real-life, they are worn as a single unit, according to order of precedence), following the order of precedence with one mistake: The Lifesaving Medal comes before the Antarctica Service Medal.
  • The block over the left breast contains ribbons for:
    • Army Distinguished Service Cross, awarded for extraordinary heroism in combat, established in 1918.
    • Defense Distinguished Service Medal, awarded for exceptionally meritorious service in a duty of great responsibility, established by Richard Nixon in 1970.
    • Army Distinguished Service Medal, awarded to soldiers who distinguished themselves by exceptionally meritorious service to the Government in a duty of great responsibility, established in 1918.
    • Silver Star Medal, awarded for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States, established in 1932 (retroactively applied to the Citation Star).
    • Legion of Merit, awarded for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements, first awarded in 1942.
    • Purple Heart, awarded for wounds sustained in combat against an enemy of the United States, first awarded in 1932, retroactively to World War I.
  • The block over the right breast contains ribbons for:

It can be assumed it was intended to look like the version found in Operation: Anchorage, based on the unused Zeta-specific Colonel Autumn's uniform which does resemble the Anchorage version.
