Advanced Riot Gear

The advanced riot gear and the matching advanced riot gear helmet are pieces of armor in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Background
The advanced riot gear is a more advanced version of the riot gear, which was used by the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment when they were charged in riot control operations in the Divide alongside special riot control officiers wearing standard riot gears against the entire local hippie community that protested outside Hopeville against the ongoing Sino-American War.

After the Great War when the NCR began to annex the prosperous community of the Divide, the NCR found these armors and used them for their Veteran Rangers in the Divide, acting as riot control officers in the city. With the destruction of the Divide, the armors were lost and the NCR riot control officiers died during the event.

The shoulder pads are bulkier and worn on top of the duster, and the chest plate seems to be slightly greener. It appears to have much thicker armor plates on the forearms. The helmet has the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment emblem on the front as well as "=100=" on the left side. The helmet's air-filtering system seems to be more advanced than the standard riot gear.

Characteristics
The helmet gives the effect "Red Vision", which gives the player low visibility sight whilst in sneak mode between 6:00PM to 6:00AM or while indoors. This will toggle from on to off once you exit sneak mode.

Locations

 * Found on the body of an NCR riot control officer in The Crow's Nest.

Bugs

 * You can still wear additional headwear with this helmet. This is due to all variants of riot helmets being flagged specifically as "hair".
 * After detonating the warhead from a distance, the dead body of the ranger wearing may disappear and only way to obtain it through console command (PC only).
 * It is possible for the armor to fall off its original ledge, making it impossible to attain.
