📋 About This Mod
Expanded Ranger Combat Armors V. 1. 5 A Fallout: New Vegas mod by Tagaziel - - - - This mod introduces two new generic armour and helmet types and an unique factionless suit and matching helmet (and backstory) into the core game, based on LR meshes. These are intended for NCR Ranger veterans and are properly coded as NCR disguises. NCR Ranger Combat Armor, Reinforced Armor: xx000add Helmet: xx000adf A sturdier, more advanced combat suit for Ranger vets, includes better armour on the trenchcoat, boots and a Ranger helmet Mk. II Confers slightly more protection and better bonuses than the regular Ranger armor. Regular vet armor can also be upgraded to this model. NCR Ranger Grizzly Armor Armor: xx000ade Helmet: xx000ae0 The heaviest and most powerful suit of armour used by Ranger vets, the Grizzly armor offers awesome protection and significant bonuses. Unfortunately, it\'s also extremely rare: worn only by Oliver\'s security detail and presidential bodyguards. Grizzled Ranger Helmet accompanies this armor and can be commonly found on veteran Rangers in the wastes. A heavily damaged set may also be found in the wastes, somewhere, where deathclaws killed a Ranger veteran and bugs later beset his body... * Ranger Deadman\'s Armor Armor: xx000dc9 Helmet: xx0010a8 An old suit of armour that has been extensively repaired and modified over the years by Rebecca \"Deadman\" Clark. It still resembles the original LAPD riot armor and trenchcoat used by NCR Rangers, but is different enough to not be identified as NCR gear and get the wearer shot in NCR-hostile areas. There are also three notes scattered across the gameworld, giving a glimpse into Rebecca\'s origins and life. Can you find them (and Becky\'s remains)? Hint: Crocker received a report lately. To install, simply unzip the contents of the file into your New Vegas folder. All content is unique, so you shouldn\'t get any conflicts. To uninstall, remove the .esp and the texture and mesh files.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2012, check if you're using the latest game patch and use a mod manager like FOMM or Vortex to avoid conflicts.
- The unique suit is factionless, so you can wear it without NCR reputation penalties, but the generic ones are NCR-coded — plan your faction allegiances accordingly.
- If you're using other armor mods, load this one early in your load order to ensure the meshes and textures apply correctly.
