The MP-47/A Prototype Medic Power Armor is a U.S. Army variant of T-45d Power Armor. It was designed to administer medical attention to the user as necessary during combat. Notably, it is the only armor capable of speech.

Location

The armor is found on a dead Brotherhood Initiate inside the Old Olney Sewer, stuck in a culvert with a wastelander and raider; also dead. Enter through either of the entrances to the sewer, and make your way to the narrow hallway. The door leading to the room is located on the outward side of the hallway.

Specifications

The Prototype Medic Power Armor has the ability to administer Med-X, the game's version of morphine, which it will do if the player's health drops below 33% or if a limb's health drops below 25%. Unlike standard Med-X injections, this process carries no risk of addiction. However, it does draw from the player's supply of Med-X, and thus the feature is useless if the player has none. Its outward appearance is nearly identical to T-45d Power Armor series.

In addition to the Med-X dispensing system, the armor features an on board voice that resembles Mister Gutsy in terms of sound and personality. The voice, similar to a follower, will sound alerts if it detects an enemy presence.

As noted in the accompanying manual, the prototype version of the suit lacks the ability to dispense anything other than Med-X, where as the completed version (which doesn't exist) would have had a wider range of features. The armor was planned as an automatic medical supply dispenser, meaning troops would not have to be evacuated for medical treatment. The user manual found with the armor details that the final version was to also include a lethal chemical that could be triggered by a superior officer if the soldier deserted.

Note that even though the user manual for the armor asserts that "even a child could use it", the player must still be trained in the use of power armor to make use of the suit.

Notes

  • Med-X administered by the suit is registered differently from Med-X that is administered normally. If you look at the Effects page in your Pip-Boy 3000, it will read "Suit Med-X - Ignore Neg Eff +1, Dam. Res. +25." The extra effect of the suit's Med-X ("Ignore Neg Eff +1") negates the effects of crippled limbs (i.e. if you get a crippled leg, the suit's Med-X will prevent you from limping). You can also co-administer Med-X the normal way, which will be listed separately (but concurrently) as "Med-X - Dam. Res. +25," This allows one to receive a total of +50 damage resistance from Med-X.
  • The T-51b Power Armor cannot be repaired by this armor. This armor, however, can be repaired by the T-51b, so be careful not to make that mistake.
  • This armor can be very helpful in battle as it will always shout out phrases such as "Let em eat lead!", alerting you of any danger. In some cases, its perception may be better than your own, and it can spot enemies coming from any direction.
  • Despite its unique technological value, the armor cannot be given to the Brotherhood Outcasts.
  • If you talk to one of the BOS at the Citadel, they will say how they did not send anyone in to retrieve the armor because of the surrounding Deathclaws.
