The T-51b power armor is a set of power armor in Fallout 76.

Background[]

Main article: T-51 power armor

Formally designated Powered Infantry Armor Model T-51, it was created by West Tek under contract from the United States government, and represented the company's single largest contract.[1] Following a ten year development cycle, the T-51 finally entered service in June 2076, after final testing at Fort Strong.[2] The newly equipped units proved incredibly effective against People's Liberation Army forces,[Non-game 1] and were instrumental to the success of Battle of Anchorage, commonly thought to be the series' debut on the battlefield.[3][4] In particular, their use minimized casualties sustained by the military in the attack.[5] It remains prized after the Great War for its protective qualities.[3]

Grafton Steel attempted to create their own variant, codenamed Project Phoenix, resulting in a helmet reaching the prototype stage before the war.[6] With the exception of T-65, it has the highest damage resistance and lowest radiation resistance of any power armor suit.

1 The resistance values do not include the underlying power armor chassis's resistances.
2 Each equipped piece of power armor negates a fixed percentage of weapon damage and radiation, which stacks across all six potentially equipped pieces.
3 While equipped on a power armor chassis, power armor pieces have no weight, though the chassis itself will still maintain its own standard weight.
4 When crafted without using any buffs to enhance crafted durability.
