Forum:BoS/NCR/NCRR

Ok, so I'm planning on picking either the NCR or the BoS. But I'm not sure which to pick. If I picked the BoS, then I wouldn't want them to be like they were when you first find them. What I'm basically wondering is; What can you do with the BoS? I know you can replace the elder and all, but I want to show McNammara (or whatever) change. I have Veronica as a follower so that's why. Yet, I also like the NCR as they seem like they have their shit together, more or less. But what I want to know is stuff about the NCR Rangers. Basically, I'd only side with the NCRR if I got that badass armor on the covor of the game. But I'm not really sure where I stand, so if people could maybe share their experiences to help persuade me that would be cool.

well as an ncr ally i enjoy following them, and i don't think you can have the bos win in the end, they aren't one of the possible factions, as for caesar he kinda blew the deal with his "kill everyone because there sinners" thing, but the ncr trench coat outfit you can't just get from a quest, its only obtainable from a veteran rangers death, and if you have the current patch and therefore can't just target one in vats with the anti material rifle using incendiary ammunition till they die, you'll most likely lose some points with ncr for it.

NCR ranger combat armor only available for: - Enemies of the NCR (patrol of 2 troopers, 1 heavy trooper and 1 veteran ranger) - Sneak at 100 with slient running and a stealth boy characters (forget about any other skill, you simply can't kill an NCR veteran ranger and get away with it without a 100 sneak and 10 AG character) For everyone else, suck it up.

OH remember when ou wear the armor you're dressed as the NCR! Wertoret 22:24, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

You can get the NCR Ranger Combat Armor and helmet (the "Cover" gear) while maintaining positive faction with the NCR. I got my first set in Bitter Springs - I dropped a couple charges of C4 at the Veteran's feet, walked a good distance, and used the detonator. No one noticed me. Got my second set just a few hours ago at Ranger Camp Alpha. I used the Anti-Material Rifle with Armor-Piercing ammo, waited until night time, and sniped the lady wearing the armor (and the Ranger Sequoia revolver) while hidden. After that I moved back a few steps to get away from the enemy indicators (the other people at the Ranger Camp notice you killing the Veteran, even if you one-shot) and fast-traveled to the other side of the map and immediately back to the Ranger Camp. Picked the armor off the corpse right in front of the other people in the camp and could still finish the "Return to Sender" quest that requires speaking to the Comm. Officer there. Now Boone and I travel the Mojave in NCR Ranger Combat Armor. --Elite Rocketeer 07:24, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

The elite Ranger at Delta Station walks far away from the other rangers during his loop. I climbed the ridge next to the station and shot him from pretty far away while hidden and then sheathed anti-materiel quickly. One shot kill. No faction consequences. This was post-patch but @ lvl 27. You can get the the armor no problem and not lose points with NCR. 98.201.120.240 09:33, November 4, 2010 (UTC)
