Courier duster

The Courier duster is a piece of clothing in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.
==Background==
The version of the duster taken from the footlocker at the conclusion of Lonesome Road depends on the level of Reputation with various factions:
* Having an Accepted or better reputation with the NCR and a lower reputation with the other major factions results in the "Great Bear" version depicting the two-headed bear.
* Having an Accepted or better reputation with Caesar's Legion and a lower reputation with the other major factions results in the "Fighting Chance" version depicting the bull.
* Having an Accepted or better reputation with the Strip and a lower reputation with the other major faction, representing one's choice of allying with Mr. House, results in the "Old World Justice" version sharing the Old World flag design of Ulysses' duster.
* Having a neutral/negative reputation with all major factions, representing one's choice of allying with Yes Man, results in the "Blackjack" version depicting a spade with "21" emblazoned on it.
==Characteristics==
The Courier duster is visually identical to Ulysses' duster (possibly excluding the back design) and shares the same DT of 13 and weight of 3. Each duster has a unique effect that raises a SPECIAL stat by one and raises a derived statistic a considerable amount.
==Variants==
Variant 	Emblem 	Faction 	Effects
"Blackjack" 	Spade / 21 	Yes Man 	+1 Luck, +30% Poison Resistance

* Ulysses' duster
==Locations==
At the entrance of the canyon wreckage, in the footlocker after completing Lonesome Road.
==Notes==
* The variant given to the Courier is based on their positive reputation with three factions in the Mojave: New California Republic, Caesar's Legion, and The Strip. The faction with the highest displayed positive reputation determines the variant given. If two factions tie for highest positive reputation then the game will choose whichever qualifying faction comes first in the order of "NCR, Legion, Strip". The only way to obtain the "Blackjack"/Yes Man variant is to have a Neutral or below reputation with all three factions. The variant chosen will be set based on the reputation by proceeding through the final door that gives you the warning that you cannot return until it's over. If you're trying to choose which one you want make sure you have the reputation as you walk through.
* Despite the four variations, they all share the same ending slide: the Courier walking off into the sunset while wearing the "Blackjack"/Independent variant.
* If Lonesome Road is completed without any favored faction, the awarded duster will be the "Blackjack"/Independent variant, even if one hasn't reached the Strip nor even met Yes Man yet.
* Wearing a faction-specific armor before confronting Ulysses can change which duster is received. For example, if being favored with the NCR, but wearing an NCR disguise, the fame with them will be set to neutral and the Courier's second-highest fame will become the highest for the duration the disguise is worn.
* The NCR version is the only piece of equipment in the game that directly increases the Courier's maximum Carrying Capacity.
* The "Old World Justice" version is an exact copy of Ulysses' duster cosmetically, though they give different skill boosts.
* This is the only armor in the game that can have multiple designs based on Reputation with factions.
