Combat armor was a piece of armor that was to appear in the canceled game Van Buren.

Background[]

Main article: Combat armor

Combat armor is a diverse family of personal body armor with varying degrees of sophistication, ranging from the earliest iterations developed by the United States Army[1] to the cutting-edge riot gear that came into use prior to the Great War.[2]

Characteristics[]

Combat armor is among the best forms of protection in the post-War wasteland. Although extremely expensive, the protection value of this armor is surpassed only by the few incarnations of power armor.

Locations[]

  • Combat armor would be classified in the advanced armors category and would be possible to batch by the Prisoner.
  • The Enclave background character Arcade Gannon, as well as the lost Enclave patrol leader encountered in the Utah area, would be equipped with Enclave-branded (though likely identical in game terms) combat armor.
  • General Coleridge's renegade NCR soldiers as well as NCR soldiers present in Hoover Dam would be equipped with combat armor from Fort Leavenworth.

Inconsistencies[]

The presence of combat armor from Fort Leavenworth was integral to the final act of Van Buren. However, when Fort Leavenworth was re-written into Tibbets Prison, the source of the combat armor was never changed and was therefore never explained.
