Van Graff combat armor

The  is a piece of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Van Graff combat armor has a damage threshold rating of 16, one point more than standard combat armor, but one point less than Combat armor, reinforced. It is colored matte black for "brand recognition purposes", but has no matching black helmet. It can be repaired with other combat armors.

Tip: Players simply looking for black-colored combat armor can find it on a Van Graff Guard's corpse at Durable Dunn's Sacked Caravan. The suit is simply labeled "Combat Armor" (without the Van Graff identifier) and is statistically identical to standard combat armor.

Warning:

Locations
Given to the character at the Silver Rush during the quest Birds of a Feather. Once first part of quest is finished the armor is returned unless you allow the Silver Rush to explode.

It is possible to get 2 Van Graff Combat Armors: First, complete the first step of the Birds of a Feather quest. When the guard goes inside Silver Rush, pick the weapon trunk and steal the armor. Now, finish the Birds of a Feather quest, and you will get another Combat Armor. On your inventory, you will only see one though. To solve this, just drop one, store or sell the other one, and pick up the one you dropped. Note: If you then pick up and keep the 2 armors in your inventory at the same time, it will show up as only one.

 * This has been patched in the latest patch.
 * If you finish the Birds of a Feather quest, you will be able to drop it.
