Gecko-backed leather armor

Gecko-backed leather armor is a craftable piece of light armor added with the Honest Hearts DLC. When the armor is created, it will always start at 100% condition.

Characteristics
This is leather armor with various gecko hides added as backing. The hide addition provides a significant increase to general damage protection and also gives the wearer improved resistance against specific wasteland hazards.

It provides a damage threshold of 10 as well as a 15 points of resistance to fire, poison, and radiation. The damage threshold of this armor is 4 above that of regular leather armor.

It is created at a campfire by combining one set of standard leather armor with a tanned fire gecko hide, a tanned golden gecko hide, and a tanned green gecko hide. A Survival skill of 80 or above is required to craft the recipe.

Unlike the other gecko backed armor types, there is no difference in weight between regular and gecko backed leather armor.

Appearances
Gecko-backed leather armor appears in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Honest Hearts.
