The Gannon family Tesla armor is a piece of armor in Fallout: New Vegas. It was worn by Gannon Senior before his death. It looks similar to the Remnants power armor, with the exception of several blue and orange energy capacitors located on the armor and a constant blue electrical effect. Arcade Gannon keeps the armor somewhere safe, but never wears it except during the last battle if you tell him to fight with the Remnants.

Characteristics

Compared to the Remnants power armor, it has 4 less DT for the entire armor set and gives no Strength bonus, but has +10 bonus to Energy Weapons and +20 Radiation Resistance. Compared to the cut Remnants Tesla armor, it has just 1 more DT. Additionally, the armor weighs 10 units less than other Remnants armor, with a total weight of 35.

The Gannon family Tesla armor is classified as medium armor, unlike the Remnants power armor and Remnants Tesla armor which are both classified as heavy. This can be extremely beneficial in conjunction with the Jury Rigging perk, allowing this armor to be repaired with any medium-weight apparel.

Locations

You can obtain this armor by completing For Auld Lang Syne and convincing Arcade to stay with the remnants for the fight, and also convince the rest to fight for the NCR, then when you are leaving the Remnants Bunker and go outside he will show up and will be wearing the Gannon family Tesla armor, at which point you can kill him and loot it off his body, you can also kill him at Hoover Dam and take it off his corpse.

If you convince Arcade to go back and stay with the Followers, rather than fight with the Remnants, he will leave for a while, and appear after you leave the Remnants bunker and give the Gannon family Telsa armor to you. (Note that there is an 80 speech check if you try to convince him to do something that contradicts the answers you gave during For Auld Lang Syne.)

Notes

  • Fallout: New Vegas companions can equip this armor just like any other non-faction armor.
  • The armor can protect you from a direct hit from a Fat Man, though the player will have several crippled limbs.
  • Though the metal parts of the armor are "invisible" while using a Stealth Boy, the electrical diodes and fan on the armor, as well as the light produced by the armor, are still shown.
  • This armor is the lightest form of power armor in the game.
  • This armor is the most protective piece of medium armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

  • PCPC patch #2. After completing For Auld Lang Syne. The dialogue option never came up to obtain the Gannon family Tesla armor.(I got it to work after re-doing the 5 conversations with Arcade, and choosing a different answer). It does not matter if you kill Orion Moreno or not. If the player releases Arcade Gannon and tells him to leave, he can no longer be recruited back, and Arcade will simply stay in the Lucky 38.
  • Xbox 360Xbox 360 After completing For Auld Lang Syne. Gannon asks the player for advice, but the dialogue option to answer does not come up. Afterward, the player is unable to open his control wheel, simply skipping to the dialogue tree when selected. This issue can be fixed by sending him back to the followers and recruiting him again, but he still will not discuss his future or give the player his armor.
