NCR Salvaged Power Armor

The  is a piece of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Overview
NCR salvaged power armor is T-45d power armor recovered by the NCR during their war against the Brotherhood of Steel. NCR technicians have restored it to working order by replacing the standard energy cell power source with a custom power pack and stripping out the joint servomotors, allowing it to be used by soldiers without power armor training but no longer as maneuverable as original power armor. For identification, it has the NCR two-headed bear logo painted on its chest plate and red stripes on the arms.

The main difference from regular T-45d power armor is the lack of the original shoulder plates and parts missing from the legs. In one possible ending, if the Brotherhood of Steel allies with the NCR, the NCR makes an agreement to hand over all suits of salvaged power armor to the Brotherhood of Steel.

Characteristics
Salvaged power armor does not require the Power Armor Training perk and does not have the usual +2 strength or 10% Rad resist bonuses of normal T-45d power armor. It retains the -2 agility effect however, and also has a slightly reduced weight and damage threshold.

In terms of effectiveness, is bested in weight-to-DT ratio alone by the far lighter combat armor, reinforced mark 2, which has the same DT rating, weighs 20 units less, and also lacks any sort of Agility penalty. Even among NCR disguises it is outperformed by NCR Ranger combat armor; however, Ranger combat armor can only be found on Veteran Rangers, who do not appear until late in the game, making the most effective NCR disguise the player can obtain for most of the game.
