Combat armor (Fallout: New Vegas)

The combat armor and the matching combat helmet are pieces of armor $$

Gameplay
The variant available in the Mojave is similar to the armor in the Capital Wasteland, being short-sleeved, having only the pauldrons and chest plates covering the torso. An identically-named black version of this armor can also be found, with the same appearance as Van Graff combat armor. There is no matching helmet for the black version.

The black version is worn solely by employees of the Van Graffs, and is painted black for "brand recognition purposes." A total of nine suits of black combat armor exist including five worn by the Van Graff thugs at the Silver Rush, one worn by Simon, one worn by Jean-Baptiste Cutting, and two on the bodies of dead Van Graff thugs at the site of Durable Dunn's sacked caravan wreckage.

Variants

 * Van Graff combat armor - The Van Graffs' standard armor for all of their guards, however identical armor simply called "combat armor" can be found at Durable Dunn's sacked caravan.
 * Combat armor, reinforced - An improved version of combat armor, made out of tougher armor plates and covers more of the wearer's body, mainly the back and upper torso, the weight is roughly the same.
 * Combat armor, reinforced mark 2 - An even tougher version of standard combat armor and an improvement of the reinforced combat armor, the armor provides more protection by having an even thicker set of armor and covers most of the torso, the lower legs and a portion of the forearms, all for the same amount of weight.
