T-45d power armor (Fallout: New Vegas)

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

Characteristics
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. It is not quite as protective as T-51b power armor or its variants, nor is it as protective as Remnants power armor, but it still provides protection 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.

Variants

 * Brotherhood T-45d power armor, the less common version of T-45d power armor in the Mojave Wasteland and Capital Wasteland, used exclusively by the Brotherhood of Steel.
 * Scorched Sierra power armor, an NCR variant used by Colonel Royez on Long 15.
 * NCR salvaged power armor, a suit made with salvaged metal and does not require Training to wear.

Locations

 * Abandoned Brotherhood of Steel Bunker - a T-45d helmet can be found inside, on Elijah's desk; the Dead Money add-on is required to access this area.
 * Brotherhood of Steel safehouse - a complete suit can be found on a shelf.
 * Great Khan armory, Red Rock Canyon - full suits of armor in poor condition may be sold by the Great Khan armorer.
 * Hidden Valley bunker - several suits of non-Brotherhood T-45d power armor can be found inside.
 * Hidden Valley bunker - Knight Torres will have at least three complete suits available, and may sell additional units depending on her merchant inventory. If you can loot her key through the wall, you can enter that room through the lower floor. You can grab the armor then hide it behind the crates, much like the Silver Rush glitch.
 * Hoover Dam - Quartermaster Bardon often sells a couple.
 * The armor can also be obtained after finishing either of the quests Still in the Dark or Eyesight to the Blind. At the end of those quests the Courier is invited to join the Brotherhood of Steel, and will receive a low-condition suit of armor, as well as Power Armor Training.
 * May be sold by the Sink in Old World Blues.

Bugs

 * This armor has a Brotherhood of Steel emblem on the left pauldron, despite not being Brotherhood armor. This can be fixed on PC with the following mod New Vegas Nexus
 * When you sit down the shoulder pads will rotate and clip inside the body. The same glitch also occurs with the T-51b.
 * When running with most two handed weapons it will clip the middle section of the armor, making it look like it is going through to your stomach.
 * When you swim the shoulder plates will not move and your arms will go through the plates.
