Forum:Recon Armour!!!

Hey everyone. I hope this is the right place to ask this. I want to keep my CSA in good condition but it seems the only way is with a lot of Recon Armour. I've been looking alll over the place and I can't find any to repair with. I can't even fin vendors who sell it. Where would be a good place to look? Please help me out and thanks a lot.

Crow sells every rare non-unique armor if he is fully invested in, IIRC. Flak and Shrapnel often have armor, though it is usually Combat or Power armor. Tulip sells armor of all types, too, I think. It may also depend on character level. I know containers with random armor in them are level-dependant, and will contain Metal, Combat, or Recon armor at high levels. Try the Flooded Metro's treasure room with The Shocker in it if you haven't looted it already. One of the containers in there always contains some form of armor.

Original Poster here. Oh cool. Thanks for the help. I haven't explored the flooded metro, as of yet. And yes, I also though that crow would sell recon armor if I'd invested the 700 caps, but he didn't seem to have anything new or remotely rare. I'll check again though, it's possible I didn't wait long enough for him to update or something. I dunno. I'm level 20 and I seem to recall coming upon recon armor more frequently at lower levels. The first recon armor I bought, I was around 12 or so and I got it from Flak. Stupidly I dropped the armour on the ground because I assumed that I wouldn't be able to use it on the CSA.

If your goal is just to keep your CSA in good condition, you can also just invest 700 caps in Crazy Wolfgang, reverse-pickpocket a high quality jumpsuit with +5 repair onto him, and then let him handle all of your repair needs. IIRC, a fully invested Wolfgang with a repair jumpsuit can repair anything up to 88% of max condition, which is more than good enough for all purposes. Some Sort 06:30, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Confirmed my earlier guess that Crow would have Recon Armor today. He and his guard ran away from me when I found them at Evergreen Mills, but when they calmed down he had Recon Armor and matching helmets for sale. Just be patient and give him several days to restock between visits. Like Flak & Shrapnel, he won't always have what you want, only most of the time. --DGoose 07:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks guys. Yeah, hopefully I can get some recon from Crow, if I can track the bastard down... I'll probably try that Wolfgang trick, too. Sneaky Jules 07:21, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Sneaky Jules

If you don't mind the karma loss just go to the Citadel and ether reverse pickpocket to get recon armor or the more fun way put grenades in their pants. Doctalen 15:27, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Try gustavo at tenpenny tower, he had some when i traded with him. Sasquatch99 11:32, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

The easiest way by far is to invest in Crow completely, then just buy all the Recon Armor he has, wait 3 days, and keep doing so until you've got plenty of it. It works much better if you do the infinite caps from the shopkeepers glitch, that is if you're not above being a cheap ass. (: ~Unholy
