Riot Gear

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

Background
It's a new version of the L.A.P.D. riot armor bearing a green color, worn with a matching new model of military helmet with built-in low light optics, a combination IR/white light lamp and gas mask, and a small spike protruding from the tip of it, a riot dark brown duster with pouches located on the side of the sleeves and a set of military brown pants.

This armor was used by the special pre-War riot control officers in the Divide, under the supervision of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment wearing a recognizable helmet and a more advanced riot armor, when they were charged in riot control operations in the Divide against the entire local hippie community that protested outside Hopeville against the ongoing Sino-American War.

Characteristics
The helmet gives the effect "Red Eye", 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

 * Hopeville Armory, Two sets here, one in poor condition found inside a normal locker, and another that is in near perfect condition in an adjacent locker, with a very hard lock.
 * Divide, you can buy the riot gear from any commissary terminal

Bugs

 * All versions of riot gear helmets and their variants are flagged specifically as "hair", so you can still wear hats or berets with them.


 * All versions of riot gear have an habit of changing the shoulder part of the duster to the color red instead of the normal brown/grey.
