📋 About This Mod
A standalone Ranger themed version of the Riot Armor from Lonesome Road.
This is a modification of the Elite Riot armor that started as a recolor and went further, with reshaping and nifbashing other elements to create this. This is a pretty old armor that I have, I created it early this year for personal use, but never released it, but I figured I should since some people liked it.
There is no lore behind it. Make your own headcanon.
Location:
A Footlocker at the base of the cross from Yangtze Memorial, near Goodsprings (Non-respawning)
Optional File that changes the location of the Footlocker to Benny's Room (Tops Casino 13th Floor)
Features:
2 armor variations (Normal Collar or Fur Collar) (Male and Female)
4 Helmets that match (Red, Green, Orange visors and one dark visor with skull paint)
1 Cowboy Hats
2 Cloth masks (Red and Grey)
Custom armor and helmet effects:
Armor: Riot's Stride
+5 Guns, +1 Charisma +2 Critical Chance
Helmet: Old Legacy
+10 Radiation Resistance +5 Speech +1 Perception
- 20 DT from armor (Same as regular NCR ranger armor)
- 4 DT from Helmet (2 point less than Elite Riot Armor)
Repairs:
- Helmets are same as Lonesome Road Riot Gear
- Armor can be repaired with Riot Gear
Details:
- The helmet is set to replace the head entirely, meaning it has its own neck
- The Footlocker is located at Yangtze Memorial near Goodsprings, at the base of the cross.
- The helmet does not the sneak sight effect from the Lonesome Road riot helmets.
- Given the easy access of the armor near Goodsprings, this is definetely not a balanced mod, giving the player 24 DT at the start of the game. Its up to players to use the armor when they find appropriate. There is an optional file that changes the armor location to Benny's Room at the tops (13th Floor)

its to fix bugs. People are free to improve the textures, make patches
for their favorite mods, etc. Please do not ask me for patches for a mod
that you play.
