Background
I've been getting back into Fallout New Vegas recently, and stumbled upon the original courier 6 power armor mod while improving my load order, along with its TOTNW patch. The issue is that said patch doesn't actually update its DR/DT stats alongside your TOTNW config. I don't mind a bit of unbalanced gameplay in my life if I have to work for it, so I, among other things, have given a 100% boost to power armor DT and a 150% boost to its DR. Due to some hardcore overhaul mods making things like one shot headshots common, as well as a mod that makes damage threshold cover 90% of a weapon's damage instead of 80% to make it feel more impactful, this felt warranted. It, weirdly enough, works with adding additional resistances and whatnot, just not DT and DR.
What This Mod Does
Simply enough, it makes the courier 6 power armor's defenses better. Instead of it having 23 DT on the armor and 4 on the helmet, it now has the options of 40 on the armor and 6 on the helmet, with an additional 75 DR, or 38 on the armor and 6 on the helmet, with an additional 18 DR. This lines it up as being around the same level as being around on par with the Ganon Family armor for the in a few ways and slightly better than T-51 by around 2 DT for the OP version, and slightly worse than T51 on the less OP version, while still keeping the remnants armor as "the best" for both. It also increases its durability by a bit, putting the armor at 1500 and the helmet at 90 (75% and 90% of T51's respectively). I'm getting this armor at level 48 personally, so I didn't want it to lag behind after taking over 100 hours to finally get power armor training.
Installation
Just throw it into any mod manager you use. I use MO2, but any mod manager that accepts .esp files should work fine
