Ranger battle armor

The Ranger battle armor and matching Ranger battle helmet are pieces of armor worn by the mercenary group Reilly's Rangers.

Characteristics
The Ranger battle armor is a variant of combat armor. The matching Ranger battle helmet is used only by the group's engineer Donovan. Each suit has a serial number (41-90MPW) painted on the back, along with a US Army star.

For players who value Agility over Strength, the Ranger armor is a better choice than power armor, offering relatively similar Damage resistance (1-6 points lower in most cases, 11 points lower than the unique T-51b power armor and the Enclave Hellfire armor) without sacrificing Agility and movement speed or increasing the chance you'll be detected while sneaking (since the weight of equipped armor affects stealth; some forms of power armor also carry an explicit -1 or -2 penalty to Agility, which lowers Sneak).

The +5 AP boost, +1 Luck, and +10 Small Guns make this armor particularly useful for lower-level Small Gun characters. It remains useful for anyone up to level 30, thanks to the good DR, modest weight, and ease of repair.

Behind the scenes

 * The armor (confirmed on both male and female models) has the code, 41-90MPW, above a military five-pointed star, possibly suggesting the suit's coloration is largely unchanged from its National Guard or U.S. Army origins.
