In Shining Armor

In Shining Armor is a perk in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money.

Effects
The bugged perk does not provide any DT boost, as the parameters are incorrectly set. The IsWeaponSkillType checks for Energy, rather than EnergyWeapons when checking the type of the weapon used against the player. Since no value is returned, the perk never works. Joshua Sawyer's personal patch JSawyer addresses this issue and rectifies this very oversight as well as other bugs.

When implemented correctly, the player gains +2 DT against qualifying weapons while wearing reflective eyewear and an additional +5 while wearing either of the following:


 * Advanced radiation suit
 * Chinese stealth armor
 * Gannon family Tesla armor
 * Legate armor
 * Legion centurion armor
 * Metal armor
 * Metal armor, reinforced
 * NCR Ranger combat armor
 * NCR Ranger patrol armor
 * Radiation suit
 * Recon armor
 * Remnants power armor
 * Space suit
 * T-45d power armor
 * T-51b power armor

Behind the scenes

 * The name of the perk is a reference to the phrase "A knight in shining armor".
 * The +2 DT effect for wearing reflective eyewear is handled by a separate, hidden perk.

Bugs

 * The all-purpose science suit, Brotherhood T-45d power armor, Brotherhood T-51b power armor, and NCR salvaged power armor are not affected by this perk. (The corresponding salvaged power helmet is affected by this perk.)
 * Ballcap with glasses and biker goggles are not affected by this perk.
