The Scorched Sierra power armor is a piece of armor in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.
Characteristics[]
The scorched Sierra power armor is a suit of T-45d power armor that has been modified by the NCR for Colonel Royez. The left shoulder pauldron has been replaced with a taxidermied bear's head held in place by a green mantle, held by two bronze star medallion clips. The back-mounted power cylinders have been replaced by a more streamlined box unit with glowing green panels which also appear on the forearms. The armor itself is blackened compared to general T-45d power armor. The bolts on the armor appear to have once been plated in gold-flake, along with gold trim all around the armor, with the joint components appearing blood red.
Unlike NCR heavy troopers' NCR salvaged power armor, Scorched Sierra power armor is a fully functional power armor piece, retaining all joint servo-motors. Power Armor Training is required in order to wear this armor. It provides a Damage Threshold of 24 and a bonus of Fire Resistance +25 and STR +1. A unique factor of this armor is it gives a regeneration bonus of 2 HP per second. It can be repaired with T-45d and T-51b power armor variants, as well as marked trooper armor and marked patrol armor.
Locations[]
- Worn by Colonel Royez on the Long 15.
Notes[]
- The player character needs to nuke the NCR at the end of Lonesome Road to open up the Long 15 and gain access to the armor.
- Despite its NCR-aligned appearance, the suit lacks technical faction armor assignment, and therefore can be worn in any NCR-hostile location without repercussions.
- The armor's listed effect "HP +2" grants the wearer regenerative health, at a rate of 2 HP per second. This effect also applies to non-player characters, such as companions, who wear the armor.
- The armor lacks the -2 Agility of base T-45d power armor and only has +1 Strength compared to the base variant that has +2.
- The armor's health regenerating effect combines with the Monocyte Breeder and Valence radii-accentuator to allow for efficient healing without stimpaks.
Behind the scenes[]

Unused resources exist for a matching helmet to go with the Scorched Sierra power armor, featuring a green glow coming from the visor area. The mesh and corresponding textures are fully complete but were not incorporated into any armor or other console-obtainable item.

Bugs[]
Despite being fully functional power armor, anyone wearing the Scorched Sierra power armor will not receive extra EMP damage caused by weapons like the zap glove or pulse grenades. Though the bug affects the armor, the actual cause is the EMP effects themselves, which only check against a hardcoded set of armors rather than the game's dynamically updated "AllPowerArmor" form list.[verified]- When wearing this while sitting, the right shoulder pad will detach from the shoulder and move out over the chest.
