Ranger Battle Armor

The 41-90MPW Ranger Battle Armor is a variant of Combat Armor worn by the mercenary group Reilly's Rangers. The matching Ranger Battle Helmet is used only by the group's engineer Donovan.

Obtaining
The armor can be acquired as a quest reward, by reverse-pickpocketing Rangers at their Compound, or by looting their corpses in the Statesman Hotel. The helmet can be obtained from Donovan, either by looting it from his corpse or reverse-pickpocketing.

Characteristics
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 if you have Broken Steel DLC) 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, Luck +1, and +10 Small Guns makes this armor particularly useful for lower-level Small Gun characters. It remains useful for anyone up to level 20, thanks to the good DR, modest weight, and ease of repair.

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.

Related quest: Reilly's Rangers
It is one of two possible rewards given by Reilly of Reilly's Rangers after successfully completing the Reilly's Rangers Quest. The Lone Wanderer can choose the Ranger Battle Armor or Eugene, Brick's unique minigun. It is possible to acquire multiple sets of Ranger Battle Armor, and/or two copies of Eugene, depending on which or how many Rangers survive the journey from the rooftop of the Statesman Hotel to the Ranger Compound and which reward is chosen (see quest article).

Trivia

 * 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 armor has a striking resemblance to the armor worn by the Colonial Marine Troop in the movie "Aliens", down to it being greenish combat armor written on by white letters.

Appearances
and the Ranger Battle Helmet appear only in Fallout 3.
