NCR Heavy Trooper

"Some of the patrol rangers have reported that Oliver's power armor heavy troopers are starting to reinforce the front lines."

- Chief Hanlon

s are the personal heavy shocktroopers of General Lee Oliver, and serve as the heavy infantry of the NCR army in the Mojave Wasteland during 2281.

Background
Clad in NCR salvaged power armor, these elite troopers are some of the deadliest soldiers the NCR has at their disposal, second only to the Veteran Rangers of the NCR Rangers. General Lee Oliver has very high faith in his shock-troopers, and seems almost oblivious to how ineffective the power armor makes them in close quarters. Under General Oliver's command, Rangers are regularly thrown to the sidelines or used as cannon fodder in favor of the heavy troopers, to the point that Ranger Chief Hanlon is actively subverting NCR intelligence out of spite.

NCR heavy troopers begin to appear after the player either activates or destroys the Securitron army in Mr. House's secret bunker underneath The Fort, or when the PC reaches a medium-high level. Generally Heavy troopers do not respawn if killed.
