Desert Ranger combat armor

Desert Ranger combat armor is a unique piece of armor in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Honest Hearts.

Characteristics
A military-issue armor from the same manufacturer as the LAPD riot armors, this particular type of combat suit was provided to U.S. Marines operating in China. Boasting a desert camouflage pattern, the armor provides serious protection and is typically worn with a matching military-grade helmet with built-in low light optics, a flashlight and gas mask. Owner data is printed on the collar and includes rank, name, service branch, and blood type, to facilitate easy identification of wounded and dead soldiers.

This particular suit belonged to Staff Sgt. R.B. Vickers, a U.S. Marine. After his death, it eventually found its way into the hands of the Survivalist, who left it in Stone Bones Cave when fleeing Vault 22 dwellers in 2096.

After the merge between the Desert Rangers and the NCR Rangers in 2271, the NCR abandoned this armor and began to create a new model for these Veteran Rangers, the NCR Ranger combat armor, which was largely based on this armor.

Locations

 * The armor is located at the end of Stone Bones Cave, near a footlocker in front of the Survivalist's terminal.
