Metal armor

Metal armor is simply any kind of armor made of metal, from metal plates crudely put together to state of the art craftsmanship.

While power armor is technically also made mostly of metal, it is more advanced in its characteristics and as such, is not counted as "metal armor".

Metal cuirass


A crude suit of armor, consisting of polished metal plates hammered to resemble a breastplate and pauldrons covering the chest, abdomen and shoulders, worn together with a pair of boots reinforced with metal plating. The three spikes mounted on the left shoulder are perhaps the most striking feature of this suit. Usually worn with light brown trousers.

Metal cuirass Mk II


A finely crafted suit of armor, consisting of polished metal plates formed into a breastplate and pauldrons covering the chest, abdomen and shoulders, worn together with a pair of boots reinforced with metal plating. The three spikes mounted on the left shoulder are perhaps the most striking feature of this fine suit. Usually worn with light brown trousers.

Flight suit metal armor


This suit of metal armor has been created by combining a black flight G suit and its matching helmet with fragments of robot body frames. The entire suit is held together by scavenged harnesses, belts and other elements. 

Gamma shield armor
This heavy armor shields against Gamma Radiation through the use of a lead lining. It has the same appearance as the black metal armor.

Lightweight metal armor


A black metal armor changed for long trips. This lightweight metal armor sacrifices its traditional pauldrons found in other metal armors in exchange for the advantage of improved weight and durability.

Reinforced metal armor


A greatly improved black metal armor with extra layers of metal added in several places. The helmet looks like a white close-faced, armor-plated motorcycle helmet with an extra metal plate added to the front and two metal horns.

Midwestern Brotherhood metal armor


A metal armor version designed after the Great War by the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel. Unlike other conventional metal armor, it has no spikes on the shoulder, bears the symbol of the Brotherhood on the right shoulder and is created from crudely polished metal.

Midwestern Brotherhood metal armor Mk II


An improved version of the previous one also designed by the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel. Like its earlier version, it also has no spikes on his shoulder, a symbol of the Brotherhood in the left pectoral and created with several layers of fine polished metal for better protection.

Tesla armor


Unlike the basic metal armor it strongly resembles, this armor is an actual pre-War military design, constructed from plans left behind by Nikola Tesla, confiscated by the US government after his death. It is designed to protect the wearer against energy attacks.

Midwestern Brotherhood Tesla armor


This version was likely designed after the Great War by the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel, based on the pre-War model. The main difference is that its Tesla Attraction Coils are not in the form of protruding rods, like in the earlier variant.

Vault-Tec Tesla armor


A special suit of metal armor which covers the entire body like a power armor. There are two Tesla coils on the shoulders that disperse a large percentage of directed energy attacks.

Samurai armor
An ancient Japanese armor worn by Toshiro Kago, a samurai abducted by aliens to Zeta.

Plating mutant armor
Crude armor that uses straps of leather and metal bands to form a sparse but effective covering for super mutants.

Spiked mutant armor
Somewhat heavier armor for super mutants, using lightweight plastic straps and metal encased in leather panels.
