Where can I find the strongest armor in Fallout 3?

Well the best armor is avoid getting shot. :) – JavadocMD Jul 19 '10 at 18:33
imo, the best and most game breaking armor in fallout 3 is the chinese stealth armor. You can punch an super mutant master in the face and he still wouldn't see you while wearing that. – spartacus Nov 19 '11 at 21:45

Everything in Fallout is a trade off. I believe the best armor I got though was the winterized armor found in the Alaska simulation.

i already have that armor – user1311 Jul 18 '10 at 22:52
@cool without any expansions I believe the Power Armor is the most powerful, but I have yet to complete whatever quest you have to do to equip it. – Earlz Jul 19 '10 at 19:57
@coolcrazy12: Assuming you're talking about damage resistance/reduction, the winterized armor is good, but there is still better in the Fallout 3 world. See my answer for details. – Matthew Iselin Jul 20 '10 at 3:00

Beneath Fort Constantine you can access "Bomb Storage" (using a key from Dukov, Ted Strayer, or any of the others from the "You Gotta' Shoot Em' In The Head" quest) and pick up the T-51b Power Armor - with +50 damage reduction, more than any other armor in the game. The winterized armor mentioned in another answer only has +45 DR.

There's only one of it in the world. I successfully completed the "You Gotta' Shoot Em' In The Head" quest during one character build and upon entering the room found the armor had been taken, so keep that in mind when you play through other quests.

This should be the actual accepted answer then. – Earlz Jul 20 '10 at 4:12

I believe it's the t-51b and the alien blaster.

Can you give a source for this information? And what does the blaster have to do with good armor? – murgatroid99 Dec 21 '12 at 4:00
