Talk:Tribal power armor

Do yo really need to collect Steel Ingots?
"Tribal Power Armor is variant of the T-4x Power Armor worn by the raiders in The Pitt.". Does this mean that you don't have to get all 100 steel ingots, and you can simply kill a Raider wearing this armor to get it? --KillerIsMe 21:46, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't think any raiders are actually wearing the armor (except for Ashur and I think His is unique... It's just saying "this is the type of armor the raiders in the pitt wear." Don't take everything you see on a Wiki Literally. But you also might be right, there are a few things you get from Everett that you can get elsewhere, like the Bombshell Armor, which can also be obtained in The Hole.-Swizzler 22:34, 25 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I thought I'd ask. Couldn't look into it myself, won't be able to play The Pitt (or Fallout 3 at all, for that matter) until Monday. Allthough, it would be kinda dumb to collect 100 Steel Ingots if you can just get that item by killing someone, so I guess you can't. --KillerIsMe 22:42, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Steel Industry Nod
As someone who comes from Pittsburgh, I can tell you the black and gold colors are certainly a nod to the Steelers. Considering the colors are plastered across the city, and the absurd amount of pro-steelers patriotism here amongst even people who hate sports....its definitely a Steelers nod, rather then a more historic steel industry nod. 72.77.70.226 23:33, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

So...
Can the player repair it with something? Be warned - on the 360 you CANNOT repair the tribal power armor with regular power armor if the regular power armor is at full repair.
 * Yes. Standard power armor will do.BSMaker 00:40, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This is the case with ANY armour/weapon at 100% CND. BrenMan 94 15:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Is there any way to have 10 Agility while wearing this armor such as start the game with 10 Agility and then put the armor on and then get the Agility bobblehead? Does this or any other method work? I'm trying to figure out if there is any way to get 15 APs out of this rather than only 13.


 * Yep. Nitpicker of the Wastes 18:37, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah but obviously I'm going to be wearing Ledoux's Hockey Mask so I need a different method.

Opinions
in my opinion,its not as good as the power armor you get at the end of the last DLC

I'd pick the steel ingot version, you sacrifice +1 CH and 5 DR for +15AP and +5 Melee. Neither +1 CH or 5 DR are that important (imo of course), +15AP on the other hand can get you a bonus vats attack with some weapons. PS. the armor looks great with the auto axe!

 * Nah it's all about the ranger battle armour. I already have 10 Luck and Strength so these effects are useless on this item. The +13 AP is cool, however it comes at a penalty in Agility meaning your agility skills will be decreased. This armour weighs 40 and slows you down, while the battle armour allows you to travel quickly and only weighs 27. Also the battle armour adds 10 to your small guns skill and has +4 more DR than this armou. I'm generally not a fan of power armour though since it hinders movement and carrying quantity.--Drifter

Well ranger battle armor is overpowered, thats a fact (normal armor shouldn't have a higher DR than power armor). The comparison was between the two new power armor sets, and i said why i prefer the tribal one. Of course, i agree that ranger armor is better for a small guns character both because of stats and visuals (see second post). Oh and..why did you decide that power armor makes you move slower? Only things (at least as far as i know) that influence speed are limb health, weight and according to ingame info drawing/holstering your weapon)

The +1 str and +1 luck are not useless just because your character has already maxed those stats - if you plan your character in advance based using the armor, you can take advantage of those bonuses instead of wasting them. -1 agility is -2 to agility based skills, which is hardly a decrease at all, especially when compared with _13 AP. The weight is basically irrelevant (are you not going to use the MIRV because it weighs too much too?) and so is the 4 extra DR (you can DR cap at 85 with almost any armor if you get the proper perks and abilities throughout the game) The only thing Ranger armor really has going for it is the quick movement, which isn't all that much of a benefit because most Small Gunners are going to want to use the Perforator / Stealth armor combo anyway when they are moving around so they can sneak attack all the time, which far exceeds using either the Tribal or Ranger's armors.

That and in a game where you can spend a pile of caps sprucing up your living accommodations, there is no problem with being a little vain and wanting to look like you mean business i.e. wearing tribal power armor. The developers did a good job of making sure no one armor trumped all the others, except in the case of the Winterized T-51b power armor, and even though it's indestructible, it doesn't offer a strength bonus. As far as good looks are concerned, Tribal power armor plus the Filtration helmet is the way to go. Scare the crap out of bad guys before you splatter them.

Point Lookout
They shoulda given some of this to the tribals of Point Lookout. Lol. //--TehK 21:19, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

it would not make sense since they would not have the ability to use power armorBigDogW 21:23, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

and yet they still wear it for some reason... OMG! Enclave have taken over the church! They have the punga fruit!!

Glitching
Yeah, I read here on the wiki that on 360, if you don't hand in the ingots in stacks of tens, then Everett may not give you the Tribal Power Armor. I also experienced the glitch where you fall through the roof, and there was a fix for that. . .someone PLEASE tell me, there's a fix for this one too? I've tried saving before talking to him, but even that didn't work. And I'm sure that I got all the ingots because I've watched the guide video, and revisited each and every location to make sure I didn't miss any. Unless the ones that are on the roof that you can fall through, can fall through just like the player (If that's even possible?), or if there was a graphical glitch that caused me to overlook one, as I've heard of this happening. (Although I don't think it's been confirmed.) Any help would be greatly appreciated, and although I don't have an account on this site, I'll try to check back here every so often. . .or if I make an account, I'll post an update with the username, in case anyone has a suggestion. p.s. My apologies if this isn't the appropriate page to be asking this on, I'm just getting REALLY frustrated. --99.235.85.71 14:25, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

vs Lag-Bolts armor
Does the extra 3 AP allow any weapon to get an extra attack when compared to Lag-Bolt's armor? I can't think of any examples 68.192.9.90 21:16, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

behind the scenes
it sounds like the suit is called "steelers". could someone please clarify what exactly is the not to the steel industry? 217.227.31.98 13:21, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Well, it could be a reference to the steel industry, being that the pitt centers around a steel mill, steel yard, and the steel building. Otherwise id note the that the armor is yellow and black, making it a reference to the pittsburgh steelers football team,(maybe both)--Mat mod 19:22, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Edit needed
This says that there is a helmet to said power armor but it's in PointLookout.I don't think that's necessarily true.I think I'm gonna need to some confirmation of that.Thanks. HuangLee 18:06, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

I second this any evidence?

Tribal Power Helmet?
What's this about aTribal Power Helmet available with the Point Lookout DLC? And where can I find it?
 * It's vandalism; I've removed it. There's no such thing. Nitty 22:39, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Hey anyone knows a nice lookin helmet for it? only helmet i found for it is tesla78.21.107.77 21:07, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Any raider helmet will suffice. Especially the, uh, Blastmaster one, I think (firefighter mask and het). http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/thumb/4/4a/Naglowaa_se.gif/11px-Naglowaa_se.gif Tagaziel (call!) 09:53, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Thx u know how i can max DR? got all DR perks but i end up on 83DR (don't have point lookout)


 * I assume you mean while wearing this armor? Then not without Med-X or Nerd Rage!. Otherwise, with the max base of 34 DR, you need 51 DR from armor to reach the max of 85. Try using the Winterized T-51b Power Armor or Enclave Hellfire Armor and any helmet of your choice. 68.192.9.90 23:19, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

found a mod on fo3nexus for a tribal power helmet to bad it doesnt seem to work on my pc (put all textures/meshes right n i still get a strange black helmet) so i just dl some perk mods tht boost dr :P

If I got a mod to add a helmet to the set, i'd want it for the helmets look. after all, on pc you can make yourself immortal anyway. BTW, what do you all think it woulda looked like? i'm thinking that it would be painted white with brahmin horns nailed to it. JerichoRCDF 06:02, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Ive come to really like wearing the filtration helmet with this armor, it provides a rad resistance of 10, making up for the lack of no rad resistance on the armor--Mat mod 19:25, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Continuity Issue?
Shouldn't Ashur's Power Armour technically be T-51b model power armour. I think this because the Capital Wasteland BoS were inintially sent west, by the main branch, in search of technology in D.C. The Scourge of the Pitt occured while the BoS was on the way to D.C. and this wiki says that they found the T-45d in the Pentgon, so the Brotherhood couldn't have been wearing T-45d during the Scourge. That said then, how could Ashur's power armour be T-45d? Ashur's Power Armour looks like it does because it's been damged and repaired with whatever Ashur could find. His power armour is the same suit he was wearing during the scourge so that should mean that it cannot possibly be T-45d Morltha 18:21, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's possible that some was found along the way. The only place that could reasonably be expected to have stockpiles of T-51b is the west coast. They could have made a stop at NORAD to see what happened there, and found some T-45d suits there; there's no fully canonical fate listed for NORAD other than that it's "offline" and despite Van Buren saying it's been destroyed, that is unlikely based on the nuclear weapons available in the Fallout universe; nuclear weapons that could pierce Cheyenne Mountain to lay waste to Norad would have left both the Core Region and the Capital Wasteland a featureless glassy plain instead of the ruins that they are. -- 18:58, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
