That's cool, that has been a feature since Fallout 1,2 and NV. I'm surprised they added that.

which is strange for me as metal armor is the anti-ballistic side of the metal/leather armor contest
Lord Tony®:
Shiny metal reflects light.
Laser weapons are beams of light.
There was actually a perk in the original games that you deflect laser attacks easier with polished metal.

doesn't really make sense for lasers to bounce off of leather tho

Finally found X-01 armor, all I've been finding for a while is the T60.

it was in new vegas too but the perk was completely nonfunctional and had absolutely no use.
the funny part about it, iirc it was a part of the perks included in dead money, further proving how stuff of an expansion that it was.
