Marine armor is an outfit in Fallout 76.
Background[]
An advanced model of combat armor designed for the United States Marine Corps,[1] the Marine armor pulls no stops when it comes to providing protection for the user, above even that of the heavy combat armor. Outclassed only by Power Armor, every piece of was designed to provide exceptional protection in nearly every battlefield scenario.[2]
Unlike the standard or polymer combat armor, this variant relies on a combination of hard and soft armor to provide protection. The torso assembly consists of a tactical vest from ballistic fiber covering the entire torso from the groin to the shoulders and neck, supplemented by tactical rigging combining hard ballistic armor with a powered survival system and a belt with four multipurpose pouches. Arms are protected by sleeves from the same ballistic fiber, combined with hard armor covering the shoulders, forearm, and dorsal side of the hands. The hard armor is shaped to provide additional protection from the front when aiming and double as attachment points for additional carry pouches. The legs are protected in the same way, with the added benefit of thigh pouches and a pair of stabilizers on the shin. The helmet is derived from the standard combat armor variant, combing by default with a polarized visor, filtration mask, and additional carry strap on the back of the head. Together, they combine to provide a heavy duty set of combat armor that covers almost the entire body in heavy armor, excepting necessary articulation points.[3]
Characteristics[]
The Marine combat armor is a decent, balanced armor available in two grades for levels 35 and 45. Although billed as inferior only to power armor, it's actually a mid-grade type of armor, comparable to heavy combat armor, though lagging slightly behind it. It has less protection than the Enclave scout armors and sturdy/heavy metal armors against ballistic weapons and is in the bottom half when it comes to energy protection, offering just half of heavy combat armor and less than a third of the heavy leather armor. It compensates for it by offering innate radiation resistance, which is not found in other dedicated combat armors and is readily available from the Free States vendor at Harper's Ferry.

I've discovered a curious record inside the prewar data files of this submarine base. The marines here were equipped with an advanced model of combat armor. There are several suits already in the base, in various states of deterioration. But there were more shipments of the armor on its way to the base, the day the bombs fell. They could be in prime condition if the sealants have held. I have no use for them, but you never know. Maybe they'll be worth digging up one day...
