Contents BackgroundX-01 power armorCommissioned by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the development of the X-01 began shortly before the. It represented a radically new approach to designing powered armor, eschewing traditional design philosophies that defined the T series, and was a high-profile research project meant to supersede previous power armor models. However, although the suit was technically functional by late 2077, it was burdened with numerous issues that precluded widespread use in the field. While the first test models were issued to Presidential bodyguards, the X-01 was never deployed in larger numbers.

The Creation Club X-02 Power Armor. After googling and looking on Youtube, I can't really find anything on this new armor. I'm really interested to know how it compares to the hellfire and the X-01 armor.

A single suit of X-01 was provided to the, as part of. While the suit served as a successful proof of concept of using a strontium-90 based plating over the armor, this improvement was not adopted into the armor's schematics, before the onset of the. Further development was made impossible due to the outbreak of the Great War.After the Great War, a select few suits were engineered further and employed by remnants of the U.S. Military, like the and, as well as. The schematics for the armor were saved by the Enclave just before the bombs fell, with the organization keeping copies in the archives of their Poseidon and Whitespring facilities.

This allowed the Enclave to create a limited production run of the suits, and for work to eventually continue on the model's development.Full development was restarted by the in, although it wasn't until that the research efforts began in earnest under Presidential mandate, resulting in the creation of the first model of in. Another group to develop upon the X-01 design, after the war, is. Despite lacking access to the prototype's schematics, by, the Institute had developed a modified polymerized casting mix to coat the armor, as well as other modifications that enhance the user's intelligence. DesignThe X-01 advanced powered infantry combat armor is designed for a single human operator, provided with the comfort and protection of a next-generation suit of armor. While the relied on a lightweight poly-laminate composite shell for protection, the advanced model uses lightweight metal alloys as basis, reinforced with ceramic castings at key points.
The resulting space savings allowed for reducing the armor's profile without compromising protection. Perhaps the most noticeable change was a completely new helmet assembly. The unusual, insect-like design features a pair of polarized eyepieces in place of the usual vision slit, providing superior battlefield awareness.
The helmet's eye pieces also served as the suit's lamps, replacing the traditional single-lens attachment used in older models. The helmet's angled surfaces also help maximize the chance of outright deflecting projectiles and incoming fire.Classic power armor pauldrons were retired in favor of a 'hump' that encloses the operator's head, significantly reducing the chance of enemy fire damaging the vital areas surrounding the head. Despite these advancements, the X-01 suffers from severe design flaws that prevent it from seeing large scale deployment. Variants Prototype X-01 power armorPrototype X-01 paint scheme. Gameplay article:Thanks to strong ties with the U.S. Military, the managed to secure a suit of the experimental X-01 Mk V armor just prior to the. The company intended to use the armor as part of, and to help promote their new soft drink.
The corporation plated the armor in a compound made with the strontium-90 isotope used in the soda, allowing the wearer to more rapidly recover after physical exertion. Only 1 example of this variant was produced before the bombs fell and prevented any further production. Behind the scenes. The introduction of the X-01 in Fallout 4 was the subject of a minor controversy, as the lore of the advanced power armor was never published in any of the official games, and it was assumed, based on the Fallout Bible, that it was a purely Enclave design. It wasn't until Nuka-World and Fallout 76 that the armor was established as an experimental pre-War design used by the Enclave as basis for the Enclave developed from 2220 onwards. The designation 'X' is used by military R&D as shorthand for 'experimental'.
X-01 translates to 'experimental model number 1'.References.
