2. PANTS – Next, add some matching black cargo pants with enough pockets to carry all that scrap from the Wasteland.
3. SUSPENDERS – Utility suspenders are a must to keep your belt secure.
4. UTILITY BELT – This utility belt has enough storage for all your stimpacks, energy cells and small arms munitions.
5. FOOTWEAR – Wandering the Wasteland is tough work and you will definitely need some durable combat boots that you can rely on.
6. SCARF – Under his military uniform, Maximus wears a maroon red scarf which can be seen just poking out around his neck.
7. LASER PISTOL – No self-respecting BOS soldier would be caught dead without some of the best pre-war tech as a weapon.
8. PATCH – This BOS patch is the perfect addition that transforms this military uniform into a proper Fallout cosplay.
9. GLOVES – Finally, slip into some combat gloves and your Maximus costume is officially ready to go!
Maximus embodies the morally ambiguous mission of the Brotherhood of Steel. Are they the new protectors of post-apocalyptic America or do they only seek to horde the best equipment to further their own agenda?
Whether you side with the BOS as a faction or not there is no denying that they are some of the best-outfitted settlers of the Wasteland. This Maximus costume is sure to be a popular one this Halloween and with good reason!

This guide focuses on Maximus’s Brotherhood of Steel clothing without power armor: a dark military shirt, cargo trousers, utility gear and a burgundy neck scarf. A Brotherhood patch connects the practical outfit to Fallout. It is a manageable alternative to building the large armored silhouette associated with his other appearances.
Yes, Maximus can be represented through his Brotherhood uniform instead of a power armor build. Keep the dark clothing coordinated and make the burgundy scarf and Brotherhood insignia visible. Those character-specific details distinguish the outfit from generic military clothing, while the utility belt and suspenders provide structure without requiring bulky armor pieces.
A dark work shirt, cargo trousers and existing boots make a useful foundation for Maximus. Add a burgundy scarf at the neck and a Brotherhood of Steel patch before buying extra pouches. A regular belt can substitute for tactical equipment when you want the overall uniform effect with fewer separate accessories.
Let a small section of burgundy scarf show above the shirt collar, then arrange the belt and suspenders so they sit securely without pulling the clothing tight. Keep pouches lightly filled and clear of your hip movement. Try sitting down and lifting your arms before settling on the final arrangement.
Lucy MacLean is the clearest partner for Maximus, and the Ghoul turns the pairing into a recognizable trio from the television series. Vault Boy can join if your group includes the wider Fallout universe. The blue vault suit, western clothing and dark Brotherhood uniform give each person a distinct visual identity.
The laser pistol is optional for the Maximus outfit featured here. The Brotherhood patch, burgundy scarf and dark uniform provide the important character cues without a handheld prop. If you include a pistol, use a clearly identifiable costume replica and check the venue’s requirements before adding it to your belt.
