Sometime before 2281, an officer of NCR riot control clad in the armor took up a sniping post in the area outside of the main missile bunker in the Divide but was killed, with his body left out in the open until the Courier came through there in 2281.[1]
Characteristics[]
The elite riot gear bears a high level of protection for its weight, making it among the best medium armors: its Damage Threshold is surpassed only by the Gannon family Tesla armor in the medium armor class, while being available at almost any point in the game, and equivalent to T-45d power armor with the benefit of lower weight and higher durability. Its 750 durability is the highest of any medium armor in the game and it is also one of the few equipment pieces in the game to boost Critical Chance.
The helmet gives the effect "Red Vision," which grants Low-Light Vision while sneaking between 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. or while indoors. This will toggle from on to off upon exiting sneak mode. While sneaking with the helmet equipped 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 p.m. At all times, the helmet provides +2 Perception and +5 Speech.
Visually, the elite riot gear set has more attachments when comparing to the basic and advanced riot gear. Aesthetically, it lacks the emblem on the helmet but instead has a white U.S. Army star on the side. It has additional green tubes on its enhanced gas filter as well as an antenna connected to the flashlight on the right side of the helmet. There is also a canteen attached to the belt and a bandolier that spans across the chest plate, along with a strap of pouches. The gray duster is greener than the dark brown advanced riot gear, and it features reinforced shoulder plates and armored knee guards, which are not seen on any other variation of riot gear.
The armor is located on the top floor of the Third Street Municipal Building in the area of the Divide just outside of Ulysses' Temple. It is found on a dead ghoulified NCR riot control member next to a sniper rifle and a large quantity of .308 rounds on the floor.
Notes[]
Despite being "Heavy" apparel, wearing the helmet will not cancel the effects of any perks based on light armor, as it is not on the lists of apparel that when worn cancel the effects of these perks.[验证逾期]
As with the other helmets in the riot gear series, the elite riot helmet is one of the only headgear pieces that is considered "Heavy" apparel. Because of this, it cannot be repaired by most other headgear save for other riot helmets, even if one has the Jury Rigging perk. However, it can be repaired with any "Heavy" apparel, such as metal armor and can also be repaired with the ranger helmet.
The elite riot gear has the highest value of all armor pieces in-game, making it very expensive to repair through merchants.
Playing Caravan while Sneak Sight is activated may make it difficult to see the cards.
Bugs[]
Has platform::PCHas platform::Playstation 3Has platform::Xbox 360 All versions of riot gear helmets and their variants are flagged specifically as "hair," allowing the player character to wear hats or berets with them.[已验证]
Has platform::Playstation 3 Like both the riot gear and the advanced riot gear, the elite riot gear might get bugged into changing the color of the duster's shoulder part to red.[已验证]
Has platform::PCHas platform::Playstation 3Has platform::Xbox 360 When exiting a cave with lighting effects, like the highest entrance to the Camp Guardian cave, while the night vision effect is active, the game will blend both effects, making it nearly impossible to see anything.[已验证]
Exiting sneak mode and then moving to a different location or reloading will fix this.
Has platform::PCHas platform::Playstation 3 It's possible for the ragdoll body to activate, causing the body and the sniper rifle to move. This can cause the body to fall out of the shattered window and onto the ground below.[已验证]
