Talk:Recon armor (Fallout 3)

i found a set of this armor in vault 112 in a locker whats up with that

I don't see a toilet at the ruined house, much less a footlocker next to one.

Recon Armor in Vault 108
When you get out from the narrow room where the Nuka-Cola Quantum and Tumblers Today is. Go straight forward trough another narrow room and you'll get to a room where is a broken reactor. In that room there is a Recon Armor in the footlocker.

Recon Armor Info
''If you buy this armor (or find it) and then wear it, Brotherhood Outcast members will become hostile. Even if you haven't done any Brotherhood quests.''

Perhaps usefull to add to this page?

 * Talon combat armor I THINK.-Accountless avenger


 * I thought it was power armor that repaired it? --76.64.54.60 19:52, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

only recon armor - Ashran111 23:17, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

On the PS3 with all patches, Recon Armor cannot be repaired with Talon Combat Armor. 70.74.181.137 05:25, February 9, 2010 (UTC) Kick Ass

Utility for sneak
How much does the high weight of the armor compare to the +5 sneak? i.e. would a true Sneakoholic prefer a Wastelander outfit that weighs 2 and gives +1 agility (+2 sneak)?

Compared to the stealth capabilities? I'd rather be able to sneak in someones face and under their nose than wear something a bit lighter.

Reilley's Ranger Compound in DC
I found Recon Armor along with a helmet in the Ranger Compound bed area, along with a helmet, and they were not fully repaired. I'm not sure if it's randomly placed or not, this needs confirmation. Gobbleykins 23:12, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I have also found a recon armour and helmet underneath a bed in the compound. It's in a footlocker underneath the bunk bed immediately on the left as you enter the room.

Power Armor?
Can you wear power armor over the recon armor? Kelloth


 * I haven't been able to do it..

Nope. I guess we can assume full T-45d and the medic armour comes with one as under armour. I wonder if the recon armour is also an under armour for Enclave or 51b armours. Even the Power Armour mod have uses seperate instances of under armour and leaves recon armour wthout any edits, interestingly. 2.126.29.33 22:04, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
 * From what we can see (eg. on Cabbot's page), the T-51b doesn't have an internal layer, but a bodysuit. Tagaziel (talk) 06:32, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Pipboy 3000
I have noticed in the effects screen on the pipboy it says "Initiate Armor"
 * Happens for me on PC as well --Carpathian Cookie 01:05, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Happened to me also on the 360 3 characters --87.60.40.228 13:07, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Recon Armor Mark II
Overheard Lyons talking to Scribe Bowditch about a Mark II Recon Armor. Could this be the Composite Recon Armor that never appeared? Wondering if it's worth noting in the page. Tzaro the Outcast 01:15, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yea, I have heard them talking about it to each other. It might be, but of course, it could have been dialouge Bethesda forgot to remove when they took out the Composite Recon Armor in the base game. AreYouGoingToEatThatNuke? 01:23, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Recon Armour repairing
It seems that patches for DLC prevent the repairing of recon armour with talon comapny armour... it is proving to be a major pain in the arse to try to repair my CSA without a vendor.... :( Does anyone know if only recon armour repairs recon armour with the patches?
 * Only recon armor can repair recon armor, yes. Nitty Tok. 02:37, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

fixed bad notes section
I just fixed the notes section, someone thought that scribe bowditch's name was "Bowdan" or some shit like that--Chargersphinx 00:41, October 26, 2011 (UTC)
