Advanced Riot Gear

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

Background
The advanced riot gear is a more advanced version of the standard riot gear, which was used by the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment in the Divide. They were charged with riot control operations against an entire local hippie community that protested outside Hopeville against the ongoing Sino-American War.

When the NCR began to annex the prosperous community of the Divide, they found these armors and used them for their own veteran rangers in the Divide, acting as riot control officers in the city. When the bombs in the Divide detonated, the armors were lost and much of the riot control officers perished in the event.

Compared to the standard riot gear, the shoulder pads are bulkier and worn on top of the duster, and the chest plate seems to be slightly greener. Also, the armor plates on the forearms are much thicker. The helmet has the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment emblem on the front as well as "=100=" symbol on the left side. The helmet's air-filtering system seems to be more advanced than the standard riot gear.

Characteristics
The helmet gives the effect "Red Vision", which gives the user 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

 * Found on the body of an NCR riot control officer in The Crow's Nest. This NCR trooper will be hanging out a window closest to the cave to the west.  However, if you detonated the warhead before you go to the Crow's Nest, the trooper might not be present.

Bugs

 * You can still wear additional headwear with this helmet. This is due to all variants of riot helmets being flagged specifically as "hair".
 * After detonating the warhead from a distance, the dead body of the ranger wearing may disappear. In the PC, the armor can be obtained through console commands.
 * It is possible for the armor to fall off its original ledge, making it impossible to obtain.
 * Although the clipping issues with most weapons are fixed, bolt/lever-action weapons will still clip through the armor when holstered.
 * Like with the riot gear, the shoulder part of the duster might change its color permanently to red.
