The advanced riot gear is a more advanced version of the standard riot gear. The helmet gives the effect "Red Vision", which gives the user low-visibility sight while in sneak mode between 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM or while indoors. This will toggle from on to off upon exiting sneak mode.
Found on the body of a ghoulified 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, detonating the warhead before going to the Crow's Nest might cause the trooper to be missing.
Notes
While sneaking with the advanced riot gear helmet at night or within a building, it will activate a red, hazy night vision effect. The red low-light vision may activate later in the evening, as late as 8:15 pm.
The advanced riot gear has its very own effect named "Riot Response" (Explosives +10, Endurance +1). It can be seen in the effects section of the Pip-Boy when equipped.
Playing Caravan while the sneak sight is activated may make it difficult to see the cards.
