	Metal helmet

 

The metal armor in Fallout 3 appears to be taken from a variety of scrap pieces; the upper torso piece on the female variant looks somewhat like a flattened out and reshaped motorcycle fuel tank, for instance. The metal helmet looks like a white closedfaced, armor-plated motorcycle helmet for males, and like a metallic, openfaced, topless (showing hair) armor-plated helmet for females. The shoulder plates have metal spikes welded onto them.

VariantsEdit

• Gamma shield armor The Pitt (add-on) - The gamma shield armor isn't unique, but does have a few benefits over regular metal armor. The gamma shield armor adds to Radiation Resistance, but also weighs 15 more pounds.
• Samurai armor Mothership Zeta (add-on) - The samurai armor, worn by Toshiro Kago, has a lower DR than metal armor, but increases Melee Weapons and total damage done by those weapons by 10.
