The NCR salvaged power armor is a piece of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.
Overview
NCR salvaged power armor is T-45d power armor recovered by the NCR during the NCR-Brotherhood War. NCR technicians have restored it to working order by replacing the back-mounted cylinders with a custom air conditioning module and stripping out the joint servomotors, allowing it to be used by soldiers without the need of Power Armor Training, even though "it feels like you're carrying a brahmin on your back". For identification, it has a yellow NCR Bear logo painted on its chest plate and red stripes on the arms.
The main differences from regular T-45d power armor are its white coloration, the lack of the original shoulder pauldrons, and parts missing from the legs.
Characteristics
Salvaged power armor does not require the Power Armor Training perk and does not have the usual +2 Strength or 10% radiation resistance bonuses of normal T-45d power armor. It retains the -2 Agility effect however, and also has a slightly reduced weight and damage threshold.
In terms of effectiveness, NCR salvaged power armor is bested in weight-to-DT ratio alone by the far lighter combat armor, reinforced mark 2, which has the same DT rating, weighs 20 units less, and also lacks any sort of Agility penalty. The only advantage it provides is that it possesses an item HP of 1000 while no version of combat armor has HP higher than 650.
NCR salvaged power armor is the most protective NCR disguise the player can obtain for most of the game, equaled only by the NCR Ranger combat armor.
Locations
- 188 Trading Post - two NCR heavy troopers will wear this armor after a certain progression into the main story-line.
- Camp Forlorn Hope - two NCR heavy troopers will wear this armor after a certain progression into the main story-line.
- Camp McCarran - two can be found on heavy troopers guarding James Hsu's office after a certain progression into the main story-line.
- Hoover Dam - can be found on heavy troopers.
- NCR Ranger Safehouse - can be found in the safehouse however, in very poor condition.
Long 15 Worn by Irradiated heavy troopers.
Notes
- If the Brotherhood of Steel allies with the NCR in the ending, the NCR hands over all suits of salvaged power armor to the Brotherhood, if Eureka! is completed.
- As this is no longer powered armor, the pulse gun or any other EMP weapons do not work against this armor. The EMP Effect (extra damage vs. power armor) therefore does not affect this armor.
- It should be noted that if you are shot while wearing this armor, blood will come out, just like any other non-power armor. If you're wearing power armor, blood doesn't come out when you're shot, when bullets hit, power armor will make a 'clank' sound. Just like when a bullet hits a metal object.
- Unlike Veteran Rangers, NCR heavy troopers do not respawn after being killed, so there is a limit to the number of suits of NCR salvaged power armor you can obtain from them.
- There is an exception for the NCR heavy troopers in Long 15 .
- There is an exception for the NCR heavy troopers in Long 15
Bugs
- Like most of the larger, bulkier armors, when holstering two handed weapons, it tends to clip through portions of the armor, in this case most notably the air conditioner backpack.
