Raider Armor (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Raider armors and matching Raider helmet are pieces of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The armor provides a damage threshold of 4 and can be repaired with other Raider armor. While the helmet provides a damage threshold of 1 and can only be repaired with other Raider Archlight helmets.

Raider Sadist armor
This armor consists of what appears to be metal chaps adorned with severed hands, and a leather plate of sorts worn on the left shoulder.

Raider Badlands armor
A bandolier is draped across the front of the apparently leather overshirt (vaguely resembling a tank top), and on the left knee there appears to be some sort of colander being used as a knee pad. The outfit also includes shorts made from either leather or some variety of canvas-like material. A screwdriver is secured near one boot, presumably to be used as a makeshift boot knife, despite the fact its only function is for aesthetic value. It's also feasible that it is the screwdriver used by the player when picking a lock.

Raider Blastmaster armor
This armor consists of various leather belts supporting a tire worn on the left shoulder, and a leather guantlet with a raider arclight helmet attached to it. This may have been used as a small shield for the raiders. What appears to be a heavy duty quilt, wrapped around a pair of leather pants, and completed with sandals, protects the lower half of the body.

Raiders Arclight helmet
The Raider Arclight Helmet is the supposed matching helmet for the Raider Sadist armor and can be found all across the wasteland. It mostly looks like a wielding helmet used by construction workers.

Raiders Wastehound helmet
The raider wastehound helmet appears to be constructed of several pieces of heavy burlap crudely stitched together. It also includes eye protection and tufts of hair. There is some visual differences between gender versions of the item, as the female version's hair patches go in a straight line down the middle of the skull, similar to a Mohawk, whereas the male version consists of three tufts; two on the sides and one on top.

Raiders Blastmaster helmet
The raider blastmaster helmet is the headwear component of raider blastmaster armor. Comprised of a fireman's helmet worn on top of a gas mask and possibly a fire-retardant covering, the blastmaster helmet confers a small (+5) bonus to your guns and explosives skills.
