T-51 power armor (Fallout 4)

T-51 power armor is a set of power armor appearing in Fallout 4.

BackgroundEdit

The T-51^[1] was widely considered the apex of pre-War powered combat infantry development. Developed over a decade of war by West Tek, it incorporates many of the lessons gleaned from the T-45 power armor service history. Unlike its predecessor, the T-51 benefits from a long development cycle and uses custom-made components to create not a stop-gap model, but a weapon that provides the best possible protection through incorporating the latest passive defense features.^[2][3][4] The resulting perfect balance of performance, mobility, and protection made it a powerful asset for United States soldiers on the frontlines.^[5]

Like the T-45, it is designed for a single human operator, patterned after the human silhouette. Unlike its older sibling, the exterior shell is made from a poly-laminate composite capable of absorbing over 2.5 kilo-joules of energy without damage. The strength of the material is further enhanced by the organic, rounded profile of the shell, improving the chances of deflecting projectiles and explosions compared to the older steel plating present on the T-45. The shell is coated in a 10-micron silver ablative layer that allows for reflecting laser blasts and radiation emissions without damaging the composite surface directly.^[4][6] The surface can be treated in a special chemical process to increase its defensive properties substantially.^[7] To further enhance protection against direct contact with and contamination by radioactive, biological or chemical substances, the armor can be made airtight, allowing its operator to explore even the most contaminated areas with reasonable safety as long as the armor is not compromised.^[8] The helmet is an integral part of this protection, fitted with a rubberized cowl mounted to the chest plate and providing a tight seal. As with all T-series, the vision slit is bullet-proof.^[9] Compared to its predecessor, the helmet is smaller and more durable, made out of a single piece of composite, with an easily removable vision assembly. As with the T-45, the ear ports double as accessory mounting points, with a drop-down aiming ocular being standard on all T-51 suits. A forehead-mounted lamp is provided for convenience.

The T-51's ace in the hole is the hydraulics system integrated into the West Tek power armor frame.^[10] Powered by a back-mounted TX-28 microfusion pack generating 60,000 watts, the HiFlo hydraulics integrated into the frame of the suit allow it to carry the bulk of the suit and allow the soldier to carry heavy weapons into combat. Due to the design of the T-51, it's much more nimble and agile than the T-45.^[4] However, to achieve optimal performance, the armor has to be custom-fitted to each operator.^[7] A properly fitted armor worn by a well-trained operator feels like an extension of one's body.^[11] Comfort is imperative to success in combat operations, aided by the power armor's ability to recycle urine into perfectly drinkable water, allowing the operator to survive for weeks in power armor.^{[12] [13]}

CharacteristicsEdit

The armor is fitted with a back-mounted TX-28 MicroFusion Pack which generates an output power of 60,000 Watts to power the HiFlo hydraulic systems built into the frame of the suit. Made of a poly-laminate composite, the shell of the T-51 is lightweight and capable of absorbing over 2500 Joules of kinetic impact. The 10-micron-thick silver ablative coating can reflect laser and other radiation emissions without damaging the composite subsurface, and the eyeslit for the helmet is made of bullet proof glass to protect the wearer from any projectiles. It also includes a waste recycling system that can convert human waste into drinkable water, enhancing the user's survival ability. The armor usually carries enough fuel to last a century.

As with all power armor in the Commonwealth, a power armor frame is required to mount T-51 power armor, and pieces spawned can vary from A to F models.

VariantsEdit

• Piezonucleic power armor - Unique T-51 torso potentially obtained as a quest reward for finishing the Cambridge Polymer Labs quest.
• Nuka T-51 power armor - Unique full set of T-51 armor with the unique Nuka-Cola paint job.

LocationsEdit

• Worn by Clint at the Quincy Ruins, it is guaranteed to be an almost full set of T-51 power armor. It is at the Overpass where Clint would normally be outside of his armor.
• An incomplete suit is worn by Tessa at the nearby Quincy Police Station, though she may be wandering around nearby. Tessa's suit has only a T-51 power armor torso (possibly one that belonged to Clint) and the unique raider power armor right arm, Tessa's Fist.
• Worn by an unnamed Gunner on the other side of Bradberton Overpass in Nuka-World, this suit is identical to Clint's. Nearby is a partial suit of level-dependent X-01 that can be worn by another Gunner if awoken.
• Pieces can be bought from Rowdy at the Atom Cats garage.

NotesEdit

• The T-51 is the only power armor model whose basic A-tier isn't primarily rusty. It always looks the same through all tiers unless a specific paint job is applied. It is also unique in that its basic coloration is not uniform - while the helmet, legs, and forearms are a dull steel color, the chest piece and pauldrons are painted a faded olive drab, thus giving the armor's overall appearance a striking similarity to its Fallout 3 counterpart.
  • Applying military paint to the A-tier will make it turn rusty.
• The T-51 model seems to have reverted to the original power armor style from Fallout, given that the armor, especially the helmet, is much flatter than the T-51b from Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, which was much bulkier.
• In Far Harbor, a full set of T-51 power armor with multiple fusion cores lying around can be found in a cave next to a vertibird wreckage on the seafloor, along with some loot. However, the aforementioned objects can only be reached using mods or console commands, as they lie right outside of the game boundary. It is unknown why these items are placed as they are.
