[edit] Characteristics

It is one of two armors used by U.S. Soldiers (the other armor of choice being Winterized Combat Armor) in the Anchorage Reclamation simulation and can be obtained from a weapon cache in the Outcast Outpost after completing the sim.

It is identical to the T-51b in Fort Constantine, other than having a lack of rust, having snow-camouflaged paint, and the main body of the suit has only 45 damage resistance compared to the rusted version's 50.

[edit] Notes

  • This armor has an item health of nearly 10 million HP while the helmet has nearly 1 million HP. This makes it virtually impossible to damage either the armor or the helmet. It is possible that the developers accidentally placed the wrong version inside the cache. See "bugs" for more information.
  • It can be hard to see, but the armor has a US Army logo and flag decal below the valve on the back. It also has 2 stars on the front of the shoulder plates, and it has a serial code on the left breast plate.
  • The T-51b power armor appears to have a light on the helmet (as does the Power Armor), but this light cannot be used.
  • The Winterized T-51b is not available to the player during the simulation.
  • There is no need to receive Power Armor Training before you obtain the suit as once you retrieve it, you gain the perk.
  • The left breast plate says DiV:5128477 USA Army
  • While in the simulation, the flag on the armor appears to be America's current flag, but the suit you get upon completion of the simulation has the same flag that shows up in each game (with the stars in a circle surrounding a big star in the center).

[edit] Bugs

  • If you pick this armor up while doing the quest You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head the game confuses this for the T-51b Power Armor from Fort Constantine and completes the mission. It has been confirmed on the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game that this also rewards the player with the Achievement. Mr. Crowley will no longer speak to you after getting the armor, besides saying, "You stole what is rightfully mine, get lost." One way to avoid this is to keep the winterized version in storage (eg: in the locker in your megaton house) while you complete the quest.
  • You can sometimes wear the Ghoul Mask, Shady Hat and various other head gear while wearing the Winterized T-51b helmet. When viewing your character externally, s/he only seems to be wearing the helmet, even though your inventory will show that you are wearing all of them (two exceptions are Poplar's Hood and Pint-Sized Slasher Mask; these head pieces will stick out of the helmet in some parts). This is likely not a bug; it can be assumed that the character can wear the objects inside the helmet.
  • The armor the player acquires is the simulation version rather than the "Wasteland" version. The "Wasteland" version of this armor has normal item health and can be repaired using regular Power Armor, unlike the simulation version.
  • The GECK kit shows this version of the armor has the script effect of the old T-51b. Removing the script fixes the problem with the quest "You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head" if it's done before starting the quest. An earlier save also rectifies the problem, if you've started the quest already.
  • If you are wearing the Winterized T-51b and you delete the Operation: Anchorage game files you may be left with the armor's effects, but without the armor. Any other armor effects will stack, and even if you re-download Operation: Anchorage and get the Winterized Power Armor the effects will still be present. While not game-ruining, some people may not want this helpful bug so watch what you wear if you want to play fair. (Confirmed X360) This glitch appears to have been fixed (X360)
