Two suits of Chinese stealth armor can be found on the office level of Hoover Dam. However, recon armor is considered 'Medium' armor and therefore reduces walking speed and ability to sneak well, while the 'Light' Chinese armor will not. The lower durability and lower DT also makes the recon armor more appealing. Unlike the Chinese stealth armor from Fallout 3, there is no invisibility field. It is repaired with recon armor, or with other Chinese stealth armor. The Chinese stealth armor is a light armor that grants the wearer a Sneak bonus of +5.
It was available to elite Chinese Crimson Dragoon troops as well as the counter-insurgency/terror units before and during the Great War.
Chinese stealth armor was used during the Chinese invasion of Alaska and was the Chinese solution to invasion by U.S.
