Advanced riot gear

Advanced riot gear and the matching advanced riot gear helmet are pieces of armor in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.
==Background==
The advanced riot gear is a more advanced version of the standard riot gear. It was used by an NCR riot control officer in the Divide before their death.
Compared to the standard riot gear, the shoulder pads are bulkier and worn on top of the duster, and the chest plate seems to be slightly greener. The duster is also a slightly dustier brown color than the standard riot gear. Also, the armor plates on the forearms are much thicker. The helmet has a yellow and white shield insignia on the front as well as a "=100=" symbol on the left side. The helmet has additional air-filtering hardware on the other cheek and weighs five pounds less when compared to the standard riot gear.
==Characteristics==
The advanced riot gear offers 21 DT, weighs 25 pounds and has 600 item HP. It also offers a bonus of +10 to Explosives and +1 to Endurance.
The helmet gives the effect "Red Vision," which gives the user Low-Light Vision while in sneak mode 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 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 p.m. At all times, the helmet provides +2 Perception.
==Variants==
* Desert Ranger combat armor - Pre-War USMC desert armor used by Ssgt. R.B. Vickers when in China.
* Elite riot gear - a unique armor which was used by an NCR riot control officer in the Divide.
* Riot gear - an advanced version of riot armor which can be found much more commonly in the Divide than the advanced and elite variants.
* NCR Ranger combat armor - armor of the NCR Veteran Rangers, formerly used by the Los Angeles Police Department.
==Locations==
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.
==Behind the scenes==
* An emblem on the forehead of the helmet is a recolored version of a shoulder patch used by the real-world 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. The regiment is not mentioned anywhere in Lonesome Road, nor is the emblem used anywhere else in the DLC.
* The advanced riot gear has two unused files in the game's .bsa archives, denoted as nvdlc04riotgearadv_n.dds (normal map) and nvdlc04riotgearadv_g.dds (glow map), which depict an early variant of the riot gear. It has several cosmetic differences, including four rows of PALS strips on the abdomen, pockets on the duster and on its sleeves (painted-on, as opposed to added geometry), and a different texture for the wrist guards, apparently used as a container. The glow texture would result in several parts of the armor glowing (presumably white): The circle on the throat guard, stripes on the shoulder plates, and a set of additional stripes on areas not present in the finished model.
* Playing Caravan while the sneak sight is activated may make it difficult to see the cards.

==Bugs==
* The player can still wear additional head wear with this helmet. This is due to all variants of riot helmets not being flagged as "hat." 
* After detonating the warhead from a distance, the dead body of the ranger wearing the armor may disappear. On PC, the armor can be obtained through console commands. 
* It is possible for the armor to fall off its original ledge, making it impossible to obtain.
* Like with the riot gear, the shoulder part of the duster might permanently change its color to red.
