Riot Gear

The riot gear and the matching riot gear helmet are pieces of armor in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Background
An armor comprised of combining pre-War riot armor and materials hand-manufactured in the NCR. The helmet has low-light optics.

Characteristics
The helmet gives the "Red Eye" effect, which gives low visibility sight while in sneaking between 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM or while indoors. This will toggle from on to off upon leaving sneak mode.

Variants

 * Advanced riot gear - An advanced model of the riot gear formerly used by the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, then worn by NCR riot control officers in the Divide.
 * Desert Ranger combat armor - Pre-War USMC desert armor used by Ssgt. R.B. Vickers when in China.
 * Elite riot gear - A unique armor which was used by an important NCR riot control officer in the Divide.
 * NCR Ranger combat armor - Armor of the NCR Veteran Rangers, whose creation is based on the Desert Ranger combat armor.

Locations

 * The Divide - Can be purchased from any commissary terminal.
 * Hopeville armory - There are two sets of the armor; one in poor condition found inside a normal locker and another in near perfect condition in an adjacent locker, requiring a Lockpick skill of 100 to unlock.
 * Ashton missile silo - Behind a locked door requiring a Lockpick skill of 50 in a locker on the right.

Bugs

 * All versions of riot gear helmets and their variants are flagged specifically as "hair," so you can still wear hats or berets with them.
 * Occasionally, when wearing the riot gear, the shoulder coverings may become tinted red. No other part of the armor is affected.
