T-45d power armor provides a [[Damage Threshold]] of 22 as well as a bonus of 10% to Radiation Resistance, +2 to [[Strength]] and a -2 penalty to [[Agility]]. Due to the Agility penalty on this armor, which is not present on the T-51b series, Gun users are recommended to use the latter over the former. However, the T-45d has an additional point of strength, so Melee attackers focused primarily on offense are recommended to use this set. It is not quite as protective as [[T-51b power armor (Fallout: New Vegas)|T-51b power armor]] or its variants, nor is it as protective as [[Remnants power armor]], but it still provides protection and durability superior to every other form of non-powered armor in the base game, the only exception being [[Desert Ranger combat armor]] that has the same amount of DT. The [[Elite riot gear]] armor also shares the same DT, and is obtained in the [[Lonesome Road (add-on)|Lonesome Road]].

The T-45d power armor is a piece of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background

This section is transcluded from T-45d power armor. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

The T-45 powered combat infantry armor was the first design pressed into service in the Sino-American War,[1] first deployed in 2067 on the Alaskan Front to counter the Chinese offensive. As the development of power armor by West Tek began only in August 2065, the T-45 lacked the mobility of future versions, but the ability to wield heavy ordnance and excellent protection proved to change the nature of modern warfare.[2] China immediately rushed to create its own version, but lagged behind. The T-45 was effectively a stop-gap model utilizing existing technologies and manufacturing techniques. This temporary solution would eventually become the mainstay of American power armor units, especially as subsequent upgrades reduced the impact of the mobility problems that plagued the early production runs.[3][Non-game 1]

The ability to operate crew-served weapons and heavy ordnance alone is one of the key advantages offered by the T-45d power armor. Although the T-45d (and indeed, no power armor to date) had built-in weapons, the operator could use any kind of weapon that could be fired by an infantryman.[Non-game 1] Protection came in second. The use of steel plating offered a considerable advantage against most small arms and used existing technologies and materials, allowing the U.S. to quickly manufacture and deploy T-45d suits.[4] However, the armor had its limits and as the war with China dragged on, it became insufficient in both the ability to deploy firepower and protect the operator. However, as the T-51 power armor model did not arrive until 2076, the T-45d became the workhorse of the American military and a test-bed for related technologies.[Non-game 1]

The original prototypes survived to 2077 and were slated to become literal museum pieces at the Museum of Technology on the National Mall in 2078.[5] Harold Frost, one of the T-45's original designers, would later go on to design the Excavator power armor for the Garrahan Mining Company.[6]

Following the Great War, the T-45d power armor became a rare sight and a powerful asset for anyone who can procure such a suit. The principal operator of the armor is the Brotherhood of Steel and its children chapters, with the largest known numbers being utilized by the rogue Lyons' Brotherhood of Steel and the loyalist Outcasts.

The Elite riot gear armor also shares the same DT, and is obtained in the Lonesome Road.

Notes

  • The armor given to you by Elder McNamara/Hardin after completing either Eyesight to the Blind or Tend to Your Business, is the normal T-45d power armor rather than the Brotherhood variant.
  • If a user wearing this is shot in the head without a helmet, blood will come out along with the metal "clank" sound made if shot while wearing power armor.
  • The armor also has a Brotherhood of Steel insignia like the faction based version. Whether this was intentional or not is unknown.
