Metal armor, reinforced

The Metal armor, reinforced and Metal helmet, reinforced are armor pieces in Fallout: New Vegas, they also appear on the cover of the graphic novel All Roads.

Metal armor
It has the same weight as regular metal armor, but offers greater protection and will degrade slower. While wearing this armor, you will suffer a -1 Agility penalty due to the weight. You can buy it off most gun vendors except the Silver Rush as they only sell Energy weapons.

Metal helmet
The reinforced metal helmet is a normal metal helmet that has horns placed on each side as well as a front part making it look like a gladiator helmet, it also has a silver finish. However the female version looks very different, lacking horns and having an open face.

Locations

 * In Miguel's Pawn Shop in New Vegas Westside - On display to be stolen or can be purchased.
 * Often worn by Viper Gang Leaders.
 * Can be purchased from the Gun Runners store.
 * Worn by the Viper leader in Bonnie Springs (the leader wielding the Trail carbine).
 * In the Executive suites past Vera Keyes' room at the end of the hallway to the left. Once inside go in and in the closet is a complete set. They are in a poor condition however.

Bugs

 * The female model of the helmet, despite not covering the mouth, can still muffle the sound of the wearers speech.


 * When crafting the gecko-backed variant be sure to unequip the armor before adding the gecko skin. Failure to do so will result in a permanent -1 agility penalty. To fix this equip another set of reinforced metal armor (to make your agility -2) and remove it. Your agility will be returned to normal.
