Ranger Battle Armor

The Ranger battle armor and matching Ranger battle helmet are pieces of armor worn by the mercenary group Reilly's Rangers.

Characteristics
The Ranger battle armor is a variant of combat armor. The matching Ranger battle helmet is used only by the group's engineer Donovan. Each suit has a serial number (41-90MPW) painted on the back, along with a US Army star.

For players who value Agility over Strength, the Ranger armor is a better choice than power armor, offering almost identical Damage Resistance (1-6 points lower in most cases, 11 points lower than the unique T-51b power armor and the Enclave Hellfire armor) without sacrificing Agility and movement speed or increasing the chance you'll be detected while sneaking (the weight of equipped armor affects stealth; some forms of power armor also carry an explicit -1 or -2 penalty to Agility, which lowers Sneak). Lastly, unlike Power Armor, Combat Armor requires no special training to use.

The +5 AP boost, +1 Luck, and +10 Small Guns make this armor particularly useful for lower-level Small Gun characters. It remains useful for anyone up to level 30, thanks to the good DR, modest weight, and ease of repair.
