Recon armor (Fallout 3)

Recon armor and its matching helmet are a "light" variant or underarmor of the T-45 power armor, appearing in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
Though lacking the bonuses of full power armor, the recon armor is a good early-game choice for characters focusing on Sneak. The extra five points in a skill can make all the difference, and if push comes to shove, it has a decent damage resistance. In fact, it's comparable to combat armor or Talon combat armor.

Composite recon armor
Composite recon armor is identical to recon armor in terms of stats and looks except for an increased durability. Composite recon helmet is a recon armor helmet with increased durability and an additional bonus of +1 to Perception. Only the helmet can be acquired by conventional means in Broken Steel, but both armor and helmet can be obtained by using console commands without the add-on.

Outcast recon armor
The Outcast recon armor is, like the name suggests, a Brotherhood Outcasts version of the recon armor. It has the Outcasts' coloration, the armor is more valuable and the helmet gives +1 Perception. The armor and helmet are only available to the player using console commands.

Stealth recon armor
Stealth recon armor is identical to Outcast recon armor in terms of stats and looks except for the ability to generate a stealth field when crouched, just like Chinese stealth armor if Operation Anchorage is installed. The armor and helmet are only available through console commands. (Base ID needed)
