[edit] Notes

  • Armitage is armed with an AEP7 Laser Pistol, and wears a Merc Adventurer Outfit. Despite his status as an android, and his claim that he could "snap your neck like a chicken bone", he is of average human durability.
  • While he is supposedly an android, the G.E.C.K. lists him as a regular Caucasian male.
  • If you kill him, you can devour him with the Cannibal perk even if he is an android.
  • If you kill him, you can find one of only four Android Components in the game on his body (the other three are on Zimmer and given to you by Victoria Watts and one is on Pinkerton ).
  • Killing Zimmer "accidentally" (using a barrel) before he tries to leave with Harkness in The Replicated Man quest will result in Armitage living forever in the Rivet City market.

[edit] Behind the scenes

  • Armitage is a very common cyberpunk name since William Gibson used it for the Wintermute-controlled mercenary in his 1984 novel Neuromancer.

[edit] Appearances

Armitage only appears in Fallout 3.
