1st Recon Beret

The 1st Recon beret is a piece of headwear in Fallout: New Vegas. It is used primarily by NCR snipers.

Characteristics
A red beret with the insignia and motto of 1st Recon sewn on it. The insignia is a bear skull on a background of crossed rifles. The motto beneath it reads: "The last thing you never see." The beret doesn't provide any Damage Threshold but gives a +1 bonus to Perception and +5 Critical Chance (equivalent of +5 Luck in combat) when worn.

Variants

 * Boone's beret - the unique variant that can only be used during the quest One for My Baby.
 * Beret - a more common variant worn mostly by NCR officers.

Locations

 * Provided as a quest reward by Craig Boone in Novac for successfully completing the quest One for My Baby.
 * While Boone is an active companion, it is in his inventory. Taking it from him will cause him to ask for it back, but there are no repercussions if it is not returned.
 * Aside from Boone, his daytime partner Manny Vargas and all members of 1st Recon (except for Corporal Sterling) have one in their inventory. Killing one of these characters will yield it directly, or reverse pickpocketing a piece of headgear with a DT of 1 or greater will make the beret available for pickpocketing once the character has a chance to swap equipment.

Bugs

 * Like the binoculars, 1st Recon Berets will stack and appear as one entity in player character inventories.
 * Sometimes, the beret's texture will mess up and look like a red mess. To fix this, simply re-equip it and it will turn back to normal.
 * You can make the 1st recon beret black by equipping a Dapper gambler hat then putting the beret on (only tested on Boone).
 * It is possible to duplicate the beret by putting it into Boone's inventory and taking it out again; Boone will still have one but you will have one also.
 * The beret will cause the game to freeze if selected as a hotkey item.
