1st Recon Beret

"The last thing they never see."

- 1st Recon motto

The  is a piece of headwear in Fallout: New Vegas. It is used primarily by NCR snipers.

Characteristics
A red beret with the insignia and motto of 1st Recon pinned on it. It doesn't provide any Damage Threshold but gives a +1 bonus to Perception and +5 critical chance (equivalent of +5 Luck in combat) when worn.

Locations

 * Provided as a quest reward by Craig Boone in Novac, for successfully completing the quest One for My Baby.
 * If Craig Boone is your active follower, you can take it from his inventory. He will want it back, but if you have a Beret, you can give that to him and keep the more useful 1st recon beret.
 * You can also get it by killing Boone or his daytime partner Manny Vargas or reverse pickpocketing any piece of headgear with a DT of 1 or greater.
 * Except for Corporal Sterling, all members of 1st Recon have one in their inventory.

Appearances
The appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Like the binoculars, 1st Recon Berets will stack and appear as one entity in player character inventories.
 * Sometimes the berets texture will mess up and look like a red mess to fix this simply re-equip it and it will turn back to normal.
 * When having this item as a hot key it may freeze your game when selected.
 * The back of the beret clips through the player's head, as well as Boone's.
 * You can make the 1st recon beret black by equipping a Dapper gambler hat then putting the beret on (only tested on Boone)
 * If you receive Boone's Beret during the quest One for My Baby and then kill Boone before finishing it the beret remains in your inventory indefinitely.
