Elite riot gear

The elite riot gear and the matching elite riot gear helmet are pieces of armor in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Background
The elite variant is the heaviest and most durable, extensively modified to aid in the Army's operations against its own citizens.

Characteristics
The single best armor in its class, the elite riot gear offers protection comparable to a suit of T-45d power armor and the Desert Ranger combat armor at 22 DT, while being much lighter: Over 25% lighter than either the regular NCR Ranger combat armor or the Desert Ranger version, and nearly 50% lighter than the power armor. The helmet also provides just 1 DT less than the power armor's, but is 1 point heavier.

The armor shines in terms of special effects: The Riot's Ruin on the outfit grants +10 to Guns, +1 to Charisma and +5 to critical chance. The headgear grants Red Scare, which confers the usual red-tinted nighttime vision enhancement between 6 AM and 6 PM, adding +5 to Speech and +2 to Perception.

Locations

 * Third Street Municipal Building: Top floor, on a dead NCR riot control officer. The location can be reached by moving up by way of a connecting sewer pipe between the second and third floors. The officer also has a sniper rifle and numerous .308 bullets scattered around.

Bugs

 * Riot gear helmets are flagged as hair, allowing other headgear to be worn with them.
 * Like with the riot gear, the shoulders of the duster can randomly change color.
