Rebreather

The rebreather is a piece of head gear in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
It provides a Damage Resistance of 3, and grants unlimited oxygen while submerged underwater. It fills the glasses slot, so it does not prohibit the wearing of headgear that only covers the top of your head, but it does prohibit wearing any glasses even though it does not cover your eyes. Its DR can be stacked with that of a helmet, making it a useful item on dry land as well.

Locations
Nellis Hangars - Can be received from Jack upon initiating the quest to recover the B-29 Bomber from the bottom of Lake Mead, as long as you have the proper Science skill, or a Pressure cooker. There is a Pressure cooker at Fields' Shack just before the Nellis Air Force Base Artillery Field. Fast travelling to this location makes it easy to acquire the Rebreather.

Bugs

 * If you equip it while wearing another hat/head armor, then re-equip the other hat, you won't be able to see the DT tab in your pip boy until you equip the rebreather and unequip it.
 * After the quest is completed, the Rebreather is still marked as a quest item, so it can't be sold or dropped. You may also obtain the Rebreather upon completion of the quest.

To Fix this on the PC, open the console and type "SetQuestObject 00100633 0".


 * The rebreather provides damage resistance instead of damage threshold.
 * If you have long facial hair, it can clip through the Rebreather, making it look kind of awkward.

Appearances
