| The complete lore all power armor (as of now) Posted: 25 May 2020 08:53 AM PDT Power Armor, the quintessential piece of hardware that any wanderer would be caught dead without. Throughout the Fallout lore, the story of Power Armor has been through many hands and many different situations. Here is my complete lore of all power armor models. Pre-War Power ArmorPower armor created for combat use before the events of October 23, 2077. T-45 Created in 2067 as a direct response to the Chinese invasion of Alaska, the T-45 was the first-ever set of power armor used by the United States. Operators of the armor were given enhanced strength, durability, and endurance against most types of damage commonly found on the battlefield. Along with its abilities, the T-45 also required a power armor frame in order to operate fully prevented theft of individual parts. Pilots of T-45 were also given the option to scuttle their armor in the event of capture which would render the suit inoperable and unmoveable. This power armor turned the tide in the war against China and allowed the United States to be reclaiming their fallen state. T-51 In 2074, years following the successful invasion of Alaska, the demand for more advanced models of power armor came as more American soldiers were sent to the Chinese mainland. As a result, the T-51 power armor system was developed and represented the pinnacle of mass-produced power armor used overseas. Using the same frame utilized by the T-45, the T-51 did not require a new frame saving on both cost and resources. With boosted servos and a laser reflective alloy the T-51 was more agile and protected against more different types of damage. T-60 As the American military started to gain a footing in China and celebrated the complete liberation of Alaska, the concern of a second invasion against the American people became a paramount concern of both citizens and the Government. In response, the T-60 series power armor was developed and given to domestic peacekeeping forces like the National Guard to act as the first line of defense against hostile forces. Serving as a combination of the T-45 and T-51 armor designs, the T-60 was an agile and hearty system that made it well equipped for dealing with all forms of damage including radiation. T-65 (AKA Secret Service Power Armor) In the years before the Great War, civil unrest was at an absolute high. Riots were erupting in city centers across the country and miners from Appalachia were striking stopping the production of needed materials. It became apparent that the fabric of the American dream was falling apart at its seams. As a result of the growing riots, the mission of the Secret Service to protect the President became more difficult as insurgent groups like the Free States Movement started to root themselves in the population. A solution to this growing risk to the President, the Secret Service commissioned the creation of the T-65 series of power armor. Using the framework of the T-60 armor which was already regularly used by the National Guard with some improvements the T-65 armor was statically the most protective power armor. Donning this armor as protection detail for the President or other high-value assets the T-65 represented the last completed power armor produced by the United States before the Great War. X-01 Days before the Great War development of a new set of power armor was put into effect. Due to a multitude of reasons like the growing threat of nuclear war, the X-01's production was rushed in order to get a working product out in the field before atomic fire rained down. Given to research organizations like Nuka Cola and the Commonwealth Institute of Technology to improve upon the design very few working models could be found while the rest remained as concepts. Shortly before the Great War the shadow government entity called the Enclave took the plans and preserved them for future use by sending blueprints to the Whitesprings Bunker Facility in Appalachia. Post-War Power ArmorCombat power armor produced after the events of October 23, 2077. Ultracite Power Armor Conceived after the Great War through a collaboration between Lost Hills and the Appalachia Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel, the Ultracite Power Armor was build based off of a heavily modified T-51 chassis. Using the newly found material known as Ultracite, this set of power armor was able to increase its radiation resistance and its armor. Due to the impromptu nature of the Applahcia BoS, no suits were fully constructed and currently live as schematics within the fallen BoS fort Defiance. Advanced Power Armor Mk I (APA Mk I) An evolution of the X-01 power armor design, the Advanced Power Armor Mk I was the result of decades of testing and technological advancement. Sealing the user against high radiation and damage, the APA Mk I was commonly used by Enclave soldiers operating in the American Wasteland. Feared by wastelanders and organized groups alike, the APA Mk I broadcasted the Enclave's superiority across the Wasteland until the destruction of the Enclave Oil Rig in 2241. APA Mk II Constructed under the orders of Enclave President John Henry Eden, the Advanced Power Armor Mk II became the official field uniform of Enclave soldiers in the Captial Wasteland. A significant upgrade from the APA Mk I armor used by the West Coast Enclave with design aspects similar to the pre-war power armor made the APA Mk II the last nonspecialized power armor produced in Fallout history. Hell Fire Power Armor First prototyped by Enclave engineers shortly after the Great War, the Hell Fire armor previously only existed as a single prototype in the possession of the ZAX Supercomputer Overseer of Vault 51. Decades later the plans were recovered by the resurgent East Coast Enclave under the direction of John Henry Eden and were put into production. The Hell Fire armor represented the second phase of the Enclave's plan for the wasteland which was to purify it of all radiation and mutation. Using the increased heat resistance, the Enclave paired Hell Fire operators with flamers to burn the wasteland into purity. As the successor to the APA Mk II, the Hell Fire armor was the last known Enclave produced power armor and is the bookend to the power armor legacy. Nontraditional Power Armor designsPower Armor that fulfills other purposes or was not created in an official capacity. Raider Power Armor After the Great War and the destruction of the United States multiple power armor frames and incomplete sets of power armor were left behind either abandoned by their operators or damaged beyond repair. What was the hight of personal protection was reduced down to fancy scrap metal to some but not all. Multiple crafty scavengers and raiders saw the rusting machinery as a chance to protect themselves from the horrors of the Wasteland. Using scrap metal and other makeshift materials, raiders were able to get the suits of armor back in working condition. Although powerful in comparison to what remained in the Wasteland, users of raider curated power armor became nothing more than giant walking hunks of scrap. NCR "Power" Armor Centuries after the bombs fell, a collection of settlements calling themselves the New California Republic waged war against the Brotherhood of Steel. After pushing the BoS back to their bunkers, the NCR scavenged the surviving power armor frames and made some modifications. By removing the damaged servos that would be commonly destroyed through wear or scuttling, the NCR could create a new form of "power" armor without the power aspect. Operators of this armor would often complain about the weight of the armor itself stating that "it's like carrying a Brahmin on your back". Used by NCR heavy troopers, these suits of power armor were only used in combat situations or to reinforce important NCR assets like Hoover Dam. EX-17 Excavator Armor Created by Gallihan Mining Company before the Great War, the EX-17 Excavator armor was to be used by miners working in the Appalachia region. Equipped with enhanced servos allowing for higher strength, the Excavator armor could carry more materials than any other official power armor design. Modifications prototyped by Gallihan also improved the perception of the suit allowing it to detect various ores to give miners better visibility while in the often dark mines.

| When was Tesla power armor invented and why? Posted: 26 May 2020 01:33 AM PDT It occurs to me that I've never heard why the enclave's Tesla armor was created or what purpose it served [link] [comments] |
| Is there actually a connection between the Railroad (fo3 & fo4) and the Abolitionists (fo3)? Posted: 25 May 2020 02:51 PM PDT I know that the Railroad appears in a small side quest during Fallout 3 and that they are a major faction in Fallout 4. What I don't get is how there is a connection between the Railroad and the Abolitionists, a small anti-slavery group in Fallout 3. Them being connected would make sense (historical reasons), but the Fallout Wiki entry on the Railroad only says "While the Raiload's main concern is helping synths, they are also known to work with groups such as the Abolitionists to assist runaway slaves." with no citation to any sort of lore. They aren't even mentioned in the main body of the Abolitionists page, only being in the "related" category off to the side. I would confirm this for myself, but I've never played Fallout 3 and cannot currently play it, and the only mentions of the Capital Wasteland are from Deacon, who talks about the Brotherhood or Project Purity.

| What is nuka free and why does it heal 100 points of health Posted: 25 May 2020 07:26 PM PDT I was recently playing fallout 4 and noticed that if one dilutes nuka cola with dirty water he could get nuka free I was wondering why is that and why is it so effective while using literarily some nuka cola and dirty water and who thought that it was a good idea [link] [comments] |
| When/why did the children of Atom go criminally insane ? Posted: 25 May 2020 01:40 PM PDT So, as far as I know, from their very first beginning in the early days of rebuilding Megaton all the way to the end of FO3, the children of Atom seemed to be an eccentric but mostly harmless group of radiation worshipping somewhat mutated humans. By the time of FO4 however, they seem to have gone off the deep end. They tried to "bless" a commonwealth settlement's water supply by irradiating it, poisoning several people in the process and when Piper caught up to them, they tried to kill her. According to old Longfellow, they attacked him and his pregnant GF when they were still young, almost killed him, kidnapped her and brain washed her and then indirectly caused her miscarriage thanks to all the radiation they covered her in. They are actively trying to irradiate/wipe out all the settlers of Far harbour. So what made them make the jump from peaceful loons to phsychotic zealots ? If old Longfellow's story is true, it means they were already violently insane way before FO3 took place, so is Cromwell and his peaceful sect actually the exception here while the rest of the church of atom is a violent death cult ?

| Posted: 25 May 2020 01:06 PM PDT As far as I know, we don't really have any idea if Synths age or not. From what I've seen around the internet, there seems to be 3 main camps when it comes to this question: The "Synths are humans" camp thinks that yes Synths age like normal humans. The "Synths are Human-like" camp thinks that they age but not like normal humans, instead general wear and tear on their bodies might just give the appearance of aging or they may be programmed to appear like they age in time (graying hair, different posture...etc.) And the "Synths are machines" camp and that one believes that no, Synths can't age they'll always look like they did when they are first created unless they are programmed or "tweaked" by the institute. Now Synths Shaun is different because he's both physically and mentally a child, so if we assume that the last 2 camps are correct, does that mean the SS is stuck taking care of this little boy forever ? Will Shaun stay stuck at the mental capacity of a 10 year old (or however old he is) or will he develop mentally until he's stuck in the living hell of being a 40 year old dude stuck in a 9 year old's body ?

| Posted: 25 May 2020 01:24 PM PDT In Fallout 4, in Cambridge Polymer Labs, the player can find a terminal used by J. Elwood, the lab director. He wrote this shortly after the bombs fell as an attempt to calm his colleagues down and keep them oblivious to the events outside.
I placed the relevant text in bold. I can't mesh this with anything else I've heard about the Sino-American war, which I thought was active right up to the end. Apparently in October 2077 at least one educated person thought the US and China weren't in open war. At this same point, though, aren't there American troops in Shanghai and the Gobi Desert? I've read that there was a stalemate... maybe a brief armistice was called? Is there anything in the lore to support that idea? [link] [comments] |
