Ranger Battle Armor

The Ranger battle armor and matching Ranger battle helmet are pieces of armor worn by the mercenary group Reilly's Rangers.

Characteristics
The Ranger Battle Armor is a variant of Combat Armor. The matching Ranger Battle Helmet is used only by the group's engineer Donovan. Each suit has a serial number (41-90MPW) painted on the back, along with a US Army star.

For players who value Agility over Strength, the Ranger Armor is a better choice than Power Armor, offering almost identical DR (1-6 points lower in most cases, 11 points lower than the unique T-51b Power Armor and the Enclave Hellfire armor) without sacrificing Agility and movement speed or increasing the chance you'll be detected while sneaking (as the weight of equipped armor affects stealth, and some forms of Power Armor carry an explicit -1 or -2 penalty to Agility, which lowers Sneak).

The +5 AP boost, +1 Luck, and +10 Small Guns make this armor particularly useful for lower-level Small Gun characters. It remains useful for anyone up to level 30, thanks to the good DR, modest weight, and ease of repair.

The armor can be repaired by using Talon Combat Armor, Vault Security Armor, Rivet City Security Uniform, Tenpenny Security Uniform, or regular Combat Armor. The helmet can be repaired with Combat Helmets and variants thereof.

Behind the scenes

 * The armor (confirmed on both male and female models) has the code, 41-90MPW, above a military five-pointed star, possibly suggesting the suit's coloration is largely unchanged from its national guard or US Army origins.
 * The male version of the armour apparently has a bugged texture, with a square area of the chest and the back appearing much darker than the rest of the armour. The female model has no such problems, indicating it's an oversight.
