Ever since the release of this game, I have struggled greatly to equip anything but desert combat Armour. The story just really got me as a kid, and as a 26 year old it still get me

I can't believe that the Desert Ranger combat armor was placed below the Combat Armor Reinforced Mk 2. More DT, easier to get. A few pounds of weight isn't that critical, even in Hardcore mode. All Legion faction armors belong in D tier because 95% of the map will shoot you on sight. In fact, the Great Khans may be the only faction (other than the Legion itself) that won't. That said, Vexillarius armor is excellent for jury rigging because it can be fixed with other (light) Legion armor and it can be used to repair medium armor itself. Since Legionary assassin groups will always have a Vexillarius in them, this can pretty much keep your medium armor in shape throughout the entire game. For marked tribal armor, it has +1 strength which provides +10 carry weight so it effectively weighs 16 instead of 26. Still D-tier material due to the poor DT, but not as bad as you make it seem in my opinion. At least it's better than the marked trooper armor. Stealth Suit Mk II is super annoying. It injects Med-X when you don't need it (and causes you to become addicted more often than not) and keeps yapping/joking around. Also seems to break faster than most other armor for some reason. The effects are nice though, and it can be fun to combine it with Tunnel Runner and the implant that increases crouch speed from The Sink's Auto-Doc to essentially sneak as fast as you can run. In any case, can't deny its usefulness for a pure sneak build where you barely ever get shot at. I just wish you could tell the Sink CIU to turn off the personality of the suit like you can with the others in the Sink.

The Combat Armor Reinforced Mk2 is actually easier to get, just more expensive via its most easy method of acquisition: buying it. But yeah, the Stealth Suit Mk2 is way worse than it initially seems. Either half its functions do nothing due to not getting detected (the auto injects) or said half of its functions are for non-stealth combat which doesn't contribute to its primary stealth function.

You can find a full suit of Combat Armor in Crescent Canyon right next to Mojave Outpost. There's also a cave close by that spawns a random teir 3 gun (hunting rifle, sawed off shotgun, lever action shotgun, .44 mag, .22 SMG, 10mm SMG)

Certain light armors are quite a lot better for the strongest source of damage in the game, crit spam, due to Light Touch existing. Ulysses' Duster + Light Touch + 10 Luck = base 20% crit chance that with weapons with high crit chance multipliers just steamroll everything with Better Criticals constantly proccing, on top of a flat non-multiplier flat 5% crit chance with Finesse. That being said, the riot armor drip is unmatched in terms of pure fashion.

They should have included a perk that specifically helped Medium armor to make them more desirable. Like some "It Has Pockets!" perk where while wearing medium armor, you can fast travel while over encumbered and thrown explosives and spears/knives have no carry weight. That'd have been cool. Oh, and Stealth Suit is C tier for multiple reasons: 1. It eats stimpaks and Med-X against your will. If built around, it can become helpful, but it usually results in addiction to painkillers and no stims. 2. It's kind of a pain to upgrade all the way. It's not quite the chore that getting power armor training is, but it's second place for the most to-do for a piece of gear. 3. If I recall correctly, some of the bonuses are bugged and won't apply without mods. I can't recall which but I've seen that stated in forums. 4. It looks ugly as all hell. If it applied Med-X and stimpaks to companions, it would be the best companion armor in most situations since you could just stock them before or during a battle, but sadly it also doesn't do that without mods, either.

I really liked this list though, medium armor is always my choice whenever I don't do a critical build

never understood why the stealth suit and recon armors and whatnot were medium armor and not light

endgame armors that give skill points are best for builds that aren't putting points into that skill to begin with. if you're building towards explosives, explosives is probably going to be one of the first skills you max out, so a +10 explosives ironically isn't that useful. what makes +10 explosives good is that it's not usually your primary combat skill, so it's useful that it puts points into something you wouldn't normally have maxed out for most of the game.

Wish FNV had spesial stats and skill points above cap with clothes and perks, like u could max out your guns skills to 100 with points but get 110 with clothes for even more dmg

Medium and heavy armor give movement and detection penalties. Armor weight gives an additional detection penalty. The crouching speed bonus from stealth suit mk2 doesn't work in all versions. The stealth suit mk2 has auto-injection, but it is bugged. The stealth suit mk2 is just a bit over average for sneaking compared to other armor and easily beaten by many light armor variants (especially duster variants).

5:52 Just want to say that if the desert ranger combat armour should be A tier, might not have bonuses, but if you want ranger armour and don’t want the baggage of the faction armour, then it’s a great pick than can be gotten early on, sure you can rush LR, but I usually do HH first anyway, great armour that’ll carry you far and has a great story behind it. Also for the ERG, it’s good to mention that the helmet actually only takes up the face slot, meaning you can wear a hat with the helmet, I typically use the 1st recon beret to pair with the armour, giving a nice +10 to crit

I’d throw desert ranger up to A. It’s got better defense than the combat reinforced, is easier to acquire since it’s in a fixed location in a dlc that isn’t too challenging for new players, and looks cool as shit. And it’s got cool lore so that’s there too

I generally avoid the medium armours as whenever I play fallout New Vegas I rarely come across peices of medium armour so even with the jury rigging skill I find it hard to fix I usually go for reinforced leather leather which can be fixed with any light armour or peice game of clothing and is really effect if you take both levels of toughness for an extra 6 DT and the sub dermal armour implant that gives you another 4 DT Or like I do fairly early in the game do the brotherhood quest line so that you can get access to both T45 and T51 power armour which can both take a ton of damage and can be fairly easily fixed using metal armour that a lot of raiders and some mercenaries use you only need about two sets at half condition to fully fix a suit of T45 that is nearly broken like the suit you get from the brotherhood when you join them

For light armor, early game, Space Suit + Helmet beats almost anything: armor has same DT as reinforced leather at half the weight, and the helmet adds 4 DT and weights nothing - oh, and +40% radiation resistance.

Lonesome Road to the face at 3rd level EVERY run

Where can I find the Elite riot gear? 5:58 ???

You can get it in the Lonesome Road, it is found on a dead marked man in a building. You do need to go through a sewer to get to it.

i use Riot gear when doing lower level stuff and don't want to damage my power armor

“Trooper armor is disappointing.” I mean yeah it’s a standardized, mass produced uniform with the bare basics of protection. The legion has to deal with close quarters fighting. The NCR forms firing lines with their service rifles. They don’t need to be super protected. The whole doctrine is “good enough for a bunch of troops.”

where’s the stealth suit in the chapters?

I think you mixed up some of the riot gears...

17:41 oh yes. I Agree!

Can someone please explain to me why Repair in FNV/3 is such a big Deal? I mean in FNV Major Knight at the Mojave Outpost can repair all your Stuff up to 100?!? And in 3 there is a Merchant in Point Lookout that can repair to 100! 🤔 Thanks Guys :)

Fixing a Anti materiel rifle with Varmint rifles (Jury Rigging) is a huge deal and less caps spend.

Sell their Weapons ( They always carry expensive Stuff, especially with a higher Level! ) Then wait a few Days and do it again. After a While you have enough Caps to repair everything.

​@@kevinfischer6429good point. Still, requires a lot of waiting around and Jury Rigging achieves that in *less* time.

good video

0:41 or it doesn't have the -1 agility. Or, it's the best armour in the game. (because it is)

New upload?

i'm jealous of you playing it for the first time, wish i could do that again! hope you're enjoying it

after seeing the desert ranger armor ranked below the mk2 of all things, yeahh no. desert ranger armor's got more DT and can be obtained way more easily, plus the aesthetics alone puts this at the top of A tier at the very least

Lightweight Metal Armor is the goat at being sold immediately.

Veronica looks sexy in it though. Cass looks best in Van Graff armor + desperado hat. Arcade gets reinforced combat armor, Boone gets elite ranger armor, and Raul stays at his shack to do repairs for me.

Btw Ron +1 Endurance doesnt work like you think, at least last time I checked which was in FO3: Having +1 END effects only gives you the defense not more Health, its basaically just +2 DR in the case of FO3 its 2% more defense (capped at 80%). Its terrible lol. It's one of the worst effects to have. (it seems that +END in NV it only gives poison resist & rad resist idk) (you should test this for all stats, part of me guesses that +AGI doesnt give more AP either just skill bonuses & reload speed) STR, AGI, LUK, etc are more useful, especially STR because the more STR the more the armor carries itself & that makes the defense/weight ratio be worth more.

Yeah I disagee with your list, I would order the bottom tiers different. The top tiers you got them on the spot tho for sure. The armor of the cover of the game is the uncontested best. Anything that gives Crit or Luck tends to be that way, altho it depends almost all my builds are maxed in Luck so flat Crit is better.

This game is perfect, only thing i take off is the Item durability, to me it makes no sense . It's the first mod i install.

IMO the standard riot gear lookes better than the lonesome road versions. The lonesome road versions look overdesigned. The standard riot gear looks the best. It also has the best color combo imo. The jeans really make it cooler than the other ones.

For my female character I stick with the Merc Adventurer outfit.

It is really good!

I dont think medium armor even exists in FO3, the game only recognizes "clothing" & Power Armor. So a Combat Armor for example would be "clothing", no sneak penalty whatsoever & Power Armor has the sneak penalty thats the only difference. Power Armor can be whack in FO3 because % resistance with a cap at 80% is dumb. The DR system of NV is much better. Reileys Rangers Armor is probs the top tier in FO3 lol, that & the Chinese Stealth Armor due to the invisible field.

If you dont believe Power Armor is the weakest in FO3 outta all the game test it. Spawn a BoS or Enclave enemy & kill it with the starting baseball bat. FO3 power armor sucks it is the easiest game to fight the BoS at. Somebody already tested it actually the video is called "power armor in fallout games" or something, it compares all the series. FO4 has the strongest, NV has the 2nd strongest, FO1 & 2 it is pretty damn competent, FO3 its the weakest due to the % defense system.

​@@ElDrHouse2010wtf dude, PA was OP in Fo3, NPCs in vanilla were easy because Bethesda wanted a linear storyline. Also PA in New Vegas sucked ass (DT in general) Get hit by a Deathclaw Alpha Male (350) while you have 50 DT or 50 DR. 50 DR: 125 50 DT: 250 In Very Hard, Alphas may one shot you with DR (NPCs and Creatures can critical hit you) but with 85 DR they will slap with the strenght of a wet noodle.

You can often hit them while circling them & they die easily again somebody already tested all I'm talking about. Then try the same equivalent on NV, its much harder in NV.

​@@ElDrHouse2010you didn't read my first paragraph. The Enclave have leveled stats, skills and weapons, they become super annoying at high end levels. Godd Howard wanted the story to be linear thus the Enclave have shit skills and stats that scale with you (practically every game Bethesda has ever made) While most of the BoS in NV have static stats always difficult from lvl 1 and easy at high lvls. Also DT sucks.

That old world blues stealth armor is terrible. Between getting auto inject medex every time battle starts then fighting addiction and the annoying voice it makes the perks not worth it.
