📋 About This Mod
The neck on the Riot Gear, like the NCR Veteran Ranger helmet, seems very exposed to me, and even when used on the standard Riot Gear Armor it is visible when crouched. So this mod adds tough but flexible cover around the neck. It is thin enough to fit beneath most other neck pieces. This also prevents any hair clipping on this helmet. Applies to all three riot helmets, including the advanced and elite versions. FOMM Installation 1. Download the RAR file. 2. Make a FOMOD with it in FOMM. 3. Hit the Activate button. 4. Make sure the Riot Gear Neck Cover.esp file is selected in your load order. Manual Installation 1. Download the RAR file. 2. Copy all the files (except the fomod folder) into the Data folder 3. Make sure the Riot Gear Neck Cover.esp file is selected in your load order. 4. Make sure you have ArchiveInvalidation on. Requirements Obviously you need Lonesome Road DLC. Possible Conflicts This will obvious conflict with anything that changes the Riot Helmet stats or model. BUT it will not conflict with things that change just the textures.
Adds a sand proof and water/fire resistant neck cover to the Riot Gear Helmet in Fallout: New Vegas, covering exposed skin under the chin. Applies to advanced and elite versions. A simple cosmetic armor tweak with strong community support (4,039 endorsements).
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 4,039 endorsements and over 112k downloads—clearly fills a need.
- Simple, focused fix that improves the look of a popular helmet without changing gameplay.
- Works on all three helmet variants, so you get full coverage no matter which version you use.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011—might have compatibility issues with newer mods or DLC, though it's likely fine for vanilla.
- Purely cosmetic; if you're looking for stat changes or new armor, this isn't it.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who care about visual detail and want their Riot Gear helmet to look complete without exposed skin. Also for roleplayers who want practical gear that looks like it protects against the wasteland. Skip if you want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or FOMM, just download and install—it'll handle the file placement automatically.
- For manual install, drop the .esp and mesh/texture files into your Data folder and activate the .esp in your launcher.
- This mod only affects the Riot Gear Helmet, so make sure you have the base game or DLC that includes it (Lonesome Road).
