From The Vault
The Enclave Hellfire Armor is a heat-resistant type of Power Armor worn by the specialized Enclave Hellfire Troopers as well as a few regular Enclave Soldiers. The technology behind Hellfire Armor is supposedly more advanced than that of the Tesla Power Armor used by the Enclave Soldiers. During the quests Death From Above, Shock Value, and Who Dares Wins, you may encounter several Enclave soldiers clad in this armor, such as Enclave Hellfire Troopers. This armor can also be found on Enclave soldiers BEFORE the quest Take It Back!
[edit] Characteristics
This armor is equal to the Wasteland T-51b Power Armor in terms of DR, item HP, and weight. It does, however, offer inferior rad resistance; 15 as opposed to 25 for the body, and 5 as opposed to 8 for the helmet, as well as a -1 Charisma stat for the Hellfire Helmet as opposed to the T-51b Helmet which has a +1 Charisma stat. This is made up for with +30 Fire resistance, and a +1 Strength stat. It makes a good Power Armor for those who prefer to use Small Guns, as it is one of a few types that have no Agility penalty.
In contrast to the T-51b which is limited to merchant repair, the Enclave Hellfire Armor can be repaired with other sets of Hellfire Armor. This advantage alone may make it the better choice among the game's several Power Armors. That, however, should not be taken for granted as Hellfire troopers are still an uncommon enemy.

- No explanation has been given in the game for how the Enclave produced Hellfire Power Armor. The Brotherhood of Steel's Power Armor consists entirely of obsolete T-45d models, which were replaced by the T-51b model shortly before the Great War, and the Enclave used Advanced Power Armor Mk.II and Tesla Power Armor. Hellfire Power Armor resembles a combination of the T-45d and Advanced Power Armor Mk. II designs, and is presumably new and exclusive to the East Coast Enclave operation. The Enclave was either inspired by the older T-45d design and incorporated it into the new model, or was restricted to less advanced manufacturing techniques which forced designers to abandon the aesthetics of previous Enclave armors in favor of more utilitarian approaches.
- Given the choice, companions will wear even the statistically weaker Winterized T-51b Power Armor over Hellfire Power Armor.
- You cannot give this to Protector Casdin at Fort Independence for the unmarked quest: The Outcast Collection Agent
- It appears to be the only form of Power Armor in Fallout 3 that has armor plating on its gauntlets (armored glove), even the fingers have small metal plates covering them.
[edit] Locations
- With Broken Steel installed, Hellfire Troops can be encountered on the trip to The Citadel from Project Purity during The Waters of Life, with a high enough level.
- Adams Air Force Base is filled with Hellfire Troopers, even at low levels.
- Old Olney S. Wilson Building at higher levels, as a part of an Enclave team dropped in the collapsed section.
- Enclave checkpoints all across the Capital Wasteland, especially in those that previously had Flamer-equipped soldiers.
- North of Fort Constantine at a small Enclave outpost, with the Broken Steel DLC. A player can sleep for 3 straight days and 3 enclave personnel will respawn, 1 Hellfire soldier, 1 regular Enclave soldier, and 1 Enclave Officer. (These characters respawning like this is good if you are desperate for repairing your Hellfire armor.
[edit] Appearances
Enclave Hellfire Armor appears in Fallout 3 after downloading the Broken Steel add-on.
