Classic Combat Armor from Fallout 1 + Fallout 2

Hallo, Zombie ere.

 

Since downloading the Tactics Power Armor recently, I thought the classic Combat Armorwould be a Shout in the right direction.

 

Just a few Pics + Descriptions on the F01+2 Combat Armors:

Combat armor was designed to sheath the human body as completely as possible in high durability armor. The primary skin of combat armor is composed of complex polymers and ceramics. This hard armor was manufactured as specific plates. The plates were manufactured with a matte-finish olive drab coloring suitable for woodland camouflage. These plates are affixed to a flexible body suit interwoven with thermal-dissipative membranes and bulletproof material.

 

The torso is covered by the primary armor assembly, including a split breastplate, pauldrons, gorget, and abdominal ring. The sleeves of the body suit are full sleeves, and include armor plate protection for the upper and lower arms, as well as gloves. The lower body is protected by woven trousers and incorporate no hard armor, save armored boots. In the interests of comfort and maneuverability, the armor encasing the foot and lower leg is articulated, not sealed. While this permits longer wear times and more comfortable and sure footing, it compromises the armor integrity. Consequently, water and other liquids can enter the armor and affect the user.

 

A helmet completes the ensemble. In most pre-War variants, the helmet is a ballistic assembly, designed to protect the wearer from projectile and energy weapon impacts, bladed weapons, blunt trauma, and concussion. An integrated polarized visor protects the user's eyes from the ordinary battlefield hazards of grit and dust, but also laser blindness and fragments. Helmets also incorporate a combination camera/laser rangefinder unit built into the helmet's right side, just above the ear. Those suits of combat armor surviving in the wasteland still have the housing for that equipment, but no suit has been documented as having working hardware. After the Great War, simpler helmets without the additional equipment are also common. It was common to see the US Army with this armor in many places. In Alaska, the US Army could be seen with winterized combat armor.

 

The combination armor layers of a suit of adequately-maintained combat armor conferred to the wearer significant protection against most types of damage, including laser, plasma, and blast damage - uncommon for personal armor. Yet, it did so without the extreme weight inherent in most battle armor systems of the 20th and 21st centuries. Combat armor provided outstanding protection at comparatively low weight but high comfort levels.

 

(note that there is recent info reguarding the fo3 armors but these to my knowledge was the original idea behind the combat armor with sleves a Helmet with tinted Visor + intergrated satchel for increased weight and a belt with pockets etc to carry stimpaks, pistol ammo clips, first aid etc.)

The basic version, as described above. (Fallout 1 - 2) Helmet with Visor, integrated Statchel type backpack, belt with pockets to store small items e.g stimpaks, pistol ammo cips, first aid, holsters etc

 

 

Combat Armor Mrk II Fallout 2

Combat Armor Mark II is slightly more durable than standard combat armor, providing modestly greater protection against all forms of damage. It is distinguishable from standard Combat Armor by the bronze tone of the gorget.

 

Brotherhood Veriation Fallout 1 + 2

The Brotherhood of Steel has also developed their own improvement on Combat Armor. Called, creatively, Brotherhood Armor, this version boasts significantly improved defensive ratings in all forms of damage. However, this armor did not see widespread use as its holdings were zealously restricted to the ranks of the Brotherhood and those who had been of unique assistance to the Brotherhood. Its distinguishing marks includes pale green/grey coloring of the armor panels, blue trim on the chest armor panels, a brilliant silver gorget and under-armor breastplate, and pronounced riveting on the pauldrons.
