Fallout 3 Hints

Prototype Medic Power Armor

  • 1 of 7: This unique power armor has the following properties: damage resistance +34, Agility -1, radiation resistance +25.
  • 2 of 7: It can be found in the sewers of Old Olney (location 2 on the Zone 3 Map).
  • 3 of 7: See the hints for finding Old Olney's Fat Man weapon, then go to the large rubble-filled sewer tunnel that's to the south.
  • 4 of 7: Look among the bodies to find a Brotherhood of Steel initiate.
  • 5 of 7: Search him to find the power armor.
  • 6 of 7: If you're wearing this armor during combat, it'll automatically inject you with a med-x (if you have one) when your health or any limb's condition gets low. That'll boost your damage resistance, making you a bit harder to kill. (Personally, I'd rather it applied stimpaks for actual healing.)
  • 7 of 7: NOTE: You won't be able to wear it or any other power armor until after you get power armor training, which is only possible after you finish the first two sets of Main Quests or the Operation: Anchorage game add-on.
