I'm curious /k/ how good would this arm our be in and out of combat?
Also if it helps it's meant for deserts.
I meant armor not arm our
Fucking auto correct
Also riot suppression
>>30452199
built in night vision and targeting system is cool or do you need a pip boy for vats?
>>30452219
I mean In real life
>>30452227
video games aren't real life
there are components derived from reality, but it does not exist
It would make me wish for a nuclear winter
>>30452199
the helmet and chestplate would be good, the rest not so much
the only useful armor would be power armor or the stealth suits
>>30452199
the coat is designed to be worn in rainy weather. in desert winds the tails can get fucking annoying, also, i had a thin (under usual belt thickness) leather coat once. once it gets above 25°C you want to rip that thing off, which the pauldrons and bracers seem to prevent. stupuid idea.
It was made for riot suppression.
It was designed to strike fear into the rioters when they beat them up with their nightsticks (or worse)
>>30452265
Leather of course not for that weather
oilskin dusters maybe
they usually have straps to keep the tails on your legs e.g. when riding a horse
>>30453233
>riot suppression
lose the coat, or button it up and tie the tails to your legs. you don't need that shit flapping around.
>>30452199
It's riot gear. The desert Rangers wore it after the fact
Is this the summerfag containment thread?
omfg
>>30452262
>power armor
>useful
Ohboyherewegoagain.midi
>>30453468
The duster was added to the armor after the the bombs fell for dust storms
>Wearing riot gear in the Mojave desert
You wouldn't survive six hours. Listen, Fallout is a fun series but it's comic book tier.
>>30452199
Might be practical in a nuclear winter. But that's about it. Drop the coat and you'll be fine.
>>30452199
:^)
>>30452199
all depends on how much being a swag machine matters to you in combat.
>>30452199
>3 useless belts
>Jacket can't even close over the front, rendering it useless
>Pauldrons, arm protection and back plate are attached to the outside making them useless if you take it off.
It's shit.
Trenchcoat/10
>>30452265
Well the game intends it to be a uniform. Also keep in mind the Rangers are supposed to be the toughest guys out there, so light equipment like a rifle or a revolver, some advanced body armor and helmet arent so bad.
>t. West Texan
>>30453674
This mostly
Cant help but love it though
>>30454502
Whoops I thougt OP meant this one
My mistake
>>30454393
I don't get the point of ballistic armor on the outside of the legs. In a sword fight maybe but against a fireram that will not protect the femoral artery.
>>30452199
>phoneposters
>>30453633
I think one of the guys at Shoddy Cast ran the numbers and found that the cores running out in 4 was pretty accurate since they'd all be near the end of their shelf life by that point.
>>30454692
Honestly, I just gave myself 9999 cores and never used another cheat again.
It's a "they always did this so why change it" type of deal for me and played the game with a few other mods.
It was well worth the dl.
>>30454424
90% of combat effectiveness comes from looking rad
Raddest armor in the entire fallout series, and im a huge duster coat faggot fan boy, but it isn't practical in the slightest.
Integrated communications helmet with night vision and atmosphere filtering is nice, good protection and coverage, but only really practical if it has some superscience ventilation system or you're playing a game that doesn't take overheating or dehydration into account.
>>30452199
>mfw Big Iron just started on my ipod.
>mfw I see this thread
>>30456178
Agreed
>>30454763
Honestly I never needed to cheat cores because I knew how to find them.
It's not fucking hard, I never ran out of cores ever. I don't understand why this was so hard for people.
>>30452227
You say it like we know what it's composed of at a time when power armor and energy weapons were a thing, in a game where saturnite is basically adamantium
>>30457454
I used a mod to remove the logistics for power armor altogether. No core drain, no damage buildup, for consistency.
Modding weapons is enough of a drain on resources even having modded out the need for them to build in settlements and such.
>>30456128
Then why did Germany lose the World Wars and the Soviets lose the Cold War?
Having cool uniforms is the first step on the road to defeat.
>>30452199
Maybe slightly practical in some environments but mostly sorta meh. Looks super sweet tho, would wear just for rule of cool.
If you want some practical vidya game shit, look at some Halo stuff.
>>30452227
/v/ pls go
This is not friendly territory
>>30452199
Never made sense that they went back to steel pots after the combat armor helmet. Or why the 11th ACR didn't just rock power armor and leave riot work to an MP battalion.
>>30452199
Doable for the mojave if you have enough water.
The pauldrons would suck for a firearm, the breast plate looks heavy but if it's like 30+ pounds balanced total it's not worse than modern armor weightwise.
Mask would be severely uncomfortable on its own, helmet over it if straps are adjusted to fit isn't really going to change it much.
If you need vision inserts you'd probably rather kill yourself or die in a gas attack than wear the mask part.
>>30457948
>If you want some practical vidya game shit, look at some Halo stuff.
>except the MJOLNIR suits
>and everything after Reach
>>30457894
>implying jackboots and stahlhelms look cooler than jump boots, gaiters, and olive drab
>>30458049
To be fair he did say 'some' Halo stuff.
>>30458049
I didn't mean all of it as Halo has some silly stuff, but ODST suits are like a really good example of some practical stuff, plus some of the weapons are pretty fantastic
I always liked the regular NCR uniform.
>>30460546
The boots always reminded me of pic related
>>30454393
Can't believe people other than me played this game
>>30456950
Funny, because it doesn't take temp into account, but it does dehydration, which happens faster with armor on I think.
>>30457454
Yeah not when I started. I agree its not hard but not having to go out of my way to find them is way better for me because I can just focus on the rest of the game instead.
>>30452199
Assuming it's made out of advanced "futuristic" materials, not too bad honestly. No protection on the legs though. Carrying load is inefficient at best. No pouches, holsters, or any shit like that.
>>30454692
WHOA WHOA WHOA, hold on there sparky.
>end of their shelf life
>cores you pick up are at 100/100 charge
It *would've* been a great theory but in reality? Not so much.
>>30457454
Early game, getting cores is an actual bitch. Late game it's easy as piss.
There's no compromise
>>30457836
In all honesty I just ended up consoling in a lot of resources for settlements and gun mods. I couldn't be bothered to be constantly hauling LITERAL SHIT, not to mention even my companions would berate me for doing it...and you know what? They were right. I'm carrying fucking garbage like plastic spoons and gas canisters because you can scrap them for materials later on? FUCK THAT.
The whole resources thing was a great concept. Execution? not so much.
>>30452199
The hell is on his back
>>30457948
I really liked the in-universe science that explained why armour plates made a comeback since they were far better at stopping plasma than kevlar ever was
>>30460714
What was your level when you last played?
I stopped playing because the game was turning into Mad Max and not a Zombie Survival game
>>30463239
maybe its more armor? like that anti back breaking plates on those motorcycle jackets
Op again
Also how would this armor be in a real life combat situation?
>>30452199
Can't know enough without knowing what it's made of. The shoulder pauldrons are better suited for protection against melee weapons than bullets, though. Same with the gauntlets.
>>30457948
>Halo
>practical
Until you try to justify why they're using 20th century small arms and unarmored jeeps with manned, exposed turrets in the 26th century.
They have fucking FTL, MACs, etc, but they're guns are literally just bulkier versions of ours and for some reason their ground combat doctrine hasn't changed one iota in five centuries.
>>30464126
Composites of some kind is all I could find
>>30464120
Shit. As with everything from Fallout 4.
>>30452199
You have to take into account that fallout is not realistic in any way nor it intends to be, just look at how they designed the shotguns in 3/new vegas or the assault rifle in 4,
Fallout is just a dieselpunk world and its aesthetic is mainly dominated by that punk subgenre where it works perfectly fine from start to finish, so any realism that derives from that is purely accidental and shouldn't be taken into account in any way.
The real question here is, does that looks like something from 50-60s but with modern materials/design?
>>30464146
>doctrine the same
>completely ignoring steel rain
>>30464146
The UNSC Army had the best uniforms (except maybe the ODSTs). Reach definitely went more 21st century, but the truth is it makes more sense than most other Halo games.
The Army BDU just great because it looks more cheap and worn down than most marine uniforms, but also extremely pragmatic. In Halo, the Army has been mostly relegated to guarding the Homefront and fighting insurrectionists (the Covenant doesn't even bother launching ground invasions on most planets, so the Army usually gets glasses before they get to fight), so they don't need the highest tech, they just need rugged reliability.
Unlike the marines in Halo 3 (with the same color scheme as the HECU in Half-Life, which was specifically designed to make them MORE visible to the player), the soldiers mostly wear less armor (only a handful actually wear shin guards, for example), have properly colored uniforms, have non-armored knee pads, and actually carry pouches and packs.
>>30464208
>dieselpunk
>dieselpunk/atomicpunk
ftfy
But that only means it's going to be even less realistic. It's supposed to a fallout wasteland 200 years after a retro future as envisioned by 50's era sci fi, so yeah. Looks fun as shit. But would be terrible in real life.
>>30464222
Reach may not have been as iconic as Halo 3, but in terms of sheer enjoyment, I think it was my favorite Halo game (though ODST had the best story/atmosphere).
>>30464208
Fallout has only been "dieselpunk" in the last few installments, the old games had a weird 90s comic book aesthetic, with modern/futuristic looking guns right next to rayguns and plasma casters.
Keep in mind people with guns aren't even the biggest threat to these guys. It's junkies with makeshift and stolen weapons using shit ammo and vicious, mauling wildlife.
>>30464222
FUCK
INNIES
>>30464274
The UNSC is pretty evil though. The Spartan programmed was commissioned to stop secession. They conscripted child soldiers (mutilating and murdering many of them in the process) just to fight a separatist movement.
And the UNSC wasn't even supposed to be in control! The actual civilian government is the UEG, and they controlled the colonies through the Colonial Authority. The UNSC was basically the military arm of the UEG, and took over control of the civilian government pretty quick once the Covenant war started. The innies had reason to believe that the UNSC has been looking for an excuse to do this for a long time.
>>30464274
Also, insurrection war based Halo game when? I think they made an Arma mod for this.
>>30463239
It's a waterpack, I think.
>>30464298
Yeah. You're ODST/Marines, I think, fighting Innies before the war.
>>30464222
Different camo for the different biomes was a pretty neat touch too.
>>30464304

Reserve air tanks for NBC situations, probably. In the lore it's just repurposed riot gear.
>>30464126
It might have some leather in it, since the armor is based on the description of Tycho in Fallout 1.
>According to lead designer Josh Sawyer, Tycho's description in Fallout was the inspiration for the NCR Ranger combat armor and the Desert Ranger combat armor in Fallout: New Vegas as Tycho himself is described as "a man in dusty leather armor with a trench coat and gas mask".
>>30464208
>look at how they designed the shotguns in...new vegas
What's wrong with them? The Fallout 3 Combat Shotgun with its drum magazine is probably like that because the Gamebyro engine has trouble doing looping, interruptible reloads.
>>30464126
Considering the number of big scary monsters that want to claw/bludgeon you to death, and primitive tribesmen with melee weapons, close quarters melee protection is pretty important in Fallout.
>>30467960
God. Imagine fighting Deathclaws
>>30468616
Or actually fighting ghouls.
They're not too dangerous in the games, especially in 3 and New Vegas, but in reality?
Being mobbed, pinned down and beaten to death by a dozen slavering mutant lunatics.
Armor with good padding and someone to help get them off you are both very good ideas.
>>30468664
I love more on consoles. Made some pretty cool armor with it. Can't use many of the "real world" mods without breaking immersion though.
Although, if you use that regrow the mod plus modern guns and clothing, it becomes a whole other game and is pretty awesome.
>>30468782
I've added at least 100 guns to my New Vegas TTW build, really adds to the immersion of the world for me seeing so many different models and calibers out there.
Talking about Fallout armor always brings up the question of what the hell it's made out of though, looks to be some kind of hardshell fiber weave.
>>30468822
The wiki says it's made from polymers and ceramic plates. But of course this changes from game to game, Fallout 4 seems to have decided it's all metal plating now so that's another divergence from the old lore.
>>30464120
What armor is that OP?
>I want it
>>30468863
Marine assault armor. On the far harbor dlc
>>30468822
Wish I still had a computer that could actually play games. I'd like playing Fallout 3 again a lot more if it looked like that.
Mods really are awesome. I'm still excited about how my dog has a backpack.
>>30469151
Yeah, I was running TTW on my old laptop, then my new desktop let me run a lot of graphical overhaul mods.
You can get the ultimate edition of NV and 3 for 20 bucks or so total while the sale is on, combine them with Tale of Two Wastelands and it's the most money efficient game you'll ever play.
I've put a lot of time and effort into modding the game, it's like a hobby in and of itself.
>>30464309
I would love it if they did that for real. The first section of Contact Harvest has made me want that for years, and Reach proves that Halo can do well with that war story atmosphere.
But, seeing as how 343 is in charge, I doubt that'll ever happen.
>>30466271
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OUw6fjS9vhM
You tell me.
32 high level legionaries versus 4 veteran rangers and 4 heavy troopers.
As expected, the NCR stomped ass, with the rangers doing most of the work.
>>30468839
Fallout 4 combat armor didn't look metallic to me. Looked more like ceramic.
>>30452199
Armor is great, but that's because it's made of a bunch of magic future bullshit.
>>30469754

>>30469151

>>30468664
>Or actually fighting ghouls.
they're probably the only enemy in all of fallout that's AI acts like it would in real life. you could deal with ghouls the same way, stand on something that can't be climbed and shoot them.
bethesda really fucked up on FO4 with combat AI
>>30467559
>The Fallout 3 Combat Shotgun with its drum magazine is probably like that because the Gamebyro engine has trouble doing looping, interruptible reloads.
no, that it is a drum magazine is not the issue, but that the design is retarded

>>30471758
Yes, the design is retarded and probably didn't have to be retarded (see NV Riot Shotgun).

There's a mod for that, if it bothers you that much.
Threw it together with a model someone else made but made mistakes with content ownership so I can't release it on the nexus.

Oh..... Darn.....
>>30452199

>>30471010
Dude, don't even get me started. The mod for infinite crafting supplies was a godsend.
>>30472235
The weapons racks and Modern Firearms were the two best.
I have wallpapered Vault 111 with weapons. Miniguns, you say? I have every possible permutation of caliber and barrel length. I also have "The Hall Of The Fat Men". My shitter has a piece of random X01 armor parked in it. There's also a pile of 20mm antitank guns in the mess hall.
I have a problem.
>>30471935

>>30452199
Fallout has become full meh teir for me.
Back in 2012 I fucking loved FNV and Skyrim on the 360 that I bought them both on PC for the mods, and modded the absolute fuck out of the game.
I remember this one mod where I believe it was a M98B in fallout, but the issue was the mod maker was retarded as fuck, making the firing sound 10x louder than the real gun itself, and it blew out my speakers after I gave it to Boone, who spammed it at 9000rps when in combat, completely fucking my ears, despite being on the lowest setting.
Eventually I completely stopped playing, forgot what was fun about, why I even played it, and now whenether I look at either it's just like " eh. " and I don't even look at them.
A friend even lenses me fallout 4 for a week and it was a lot better than FNV but it was still just a bunch of " meh "
>>30452199

>>30458003
It was scavenged riot armor components. Their role was that of scout/LRRP. The Nevada ranger armor was never intended to be used as a riot suppression armor.
If you look at camp golf you see the type worn of clothing worn on regular basis. The brown medium "ranger armor" was used in more built up areas such as NCR territory.
>>30466271
There were two types of rangers. These are rangers, taken from locals. They were the best of the best and then given the best gear.
>>30460546
I've always loved it too. Somebody on the no mutants allowed forums figured out all of the individual milsurp pieces and built their own outfit. Its mostly ww1 British and american gear
>>30464267
I started playing fo1. Never played it when I was younger since I wasn't old enough but damn its fun. The fallout fix it version is technically better but I enjoyed the original unmodded too
>>30464146
If I remember, the logic behind the unarmored jeeps is that they're fucked against the Covenant's weaponry no matter how armored they are. With that in mind, they stripped all the armor to save weight and increase speed. It's pretty dumb, but there's some logic.
>>30480271
Makes sense. A handful of plasma hits will fuck that armor anyway. Maximum speed is the better tool in that box.
>>30479450
>There were two types of rangers.
Correct-ish, the "black" riot-gear-based armor is given to Ranger Veterans, basically they're the Rangers tough enough to have survived to make it to vet status. Regular rangers wear the Ranger Patrol Armor, as seen here>>30464304
>These are rangers, taken from locals. They were the best of the best and then given the best gear
Incorrect-ish, the "locals" you seem to be referring to are the Desert Rangers who used to patrol that part of the Mojave; they merged with the NCR Rangers and are the ones who inspired black armor that the Veteran Rangers wear.
>>30482337
What kind of rifle do the vets use
>>30480328
Is atom or even useful against the brotherhood and enclave
>>30483255
The NCR is pretty lenient with what the vets get to use. Ranger Veterans usually have AMRs, Trail Carbines and the signature Ranger Sequoia.
Sterling isn't a ranger but a First Recon sharpshooter and they let him use a modified Cowboy Repeater.
>>30463140
Funny, the uninterruptible power supplies I test with a new, fully charged battery, will read 100% then rapidly deplete during a load test. Now mind you the battery isn't the problem 99% of the time, it is some of the components of the UPS that have gone bad and can't accurately determine the battery's charge. Just some food for thought.
Additionally, radioactive material has a half-life too. It may still read 100%, but 100% of 5 kC isn't the same as 100% of 10 kC.
>>30464120
IRL?
Garbage. From king garbage, of the garbage dynasty. Added weight for reduced benefit.
>>30464120
>shots to the upper chest would splatter or deflect up into the neck/10
Its got rifle protection across the torso and the neck from the front but leaves you mobile everywhere else and has optional addon plates to deal with melee attacks which are very common in their situation. Includes a water pack as well.
Seems pretty functional to me.
>>30452199
its just a riot vest, it's not even bullet proof.
>>30453674
i have worn and seen it worn for several days in the mojave.
>>30485081
It gives more DT than the ballistic combat or ranger patrol armour, its clearly rifle resistant at the very least.
>>30485238
it's still "riot" armor so it wouldn't be ballistic
>>30464120
It looks like if you move your arms forward you will get stuck with those damn side pouches. Just the idea makes me feel pretty unconfortable.
>>30485289
Maybe its for protection during riots from people other than unarmed liberal hippies?
>>30485324
but the people it was designed to be used against were literally hippies.
>>30485362
It was used against hippies in that one instance, it wasn't designed for use against them. More likely it was designed to be used against Canadian insurgents who were a fair-bit better armed.
>>30485362
Hippies according to the people that didn't like them, it doesn't meant they weren't dangerous. In the Fallout world even before 2077, life for some might already have been feeling pretty post-apocalyptic.
>>30487655
While there was a psuedo hippie/beatnick subculture going on pre war, by the time the war was imminent anyone even suspected of holding some kind of antiwar sentiment was wither an unamerican subversive or an out and out commie.
Considering that the base commander calling them hippies was an almost cartoonish maniac who wrote his reports in such a way as to suggest he was masturbating while dreaming about gunning down protestors with machinegun fire, I doubt his statements can be taken as being factually accurate or well balanced.
>>30453633
power armor would be invaluable from a logistics standpoint
>>30488109
Back that claim up.
>>30479328
When you think about it, it kind of makes sense. Most horses are domesticated and would have died from the FEV and explosions. I'm guessing FEV killed out a lot of things instead of just mutating them.
>>30490227
That or being big grazing herbivores they couldn't survive because it seems most of the grass has died off in a lot of the continent.
What I want to know is why bows and arrows never show up in Fallout, anywhere. It's like everyone forgot about them entirely, with primitive tribal cultures going from spears and clubs to simple firearms with no middle ground.
>>30465517
Because it's better to be mobile than to have extra armor in most cases, and armor on your legs severely limits mobility. This is literally the first issue when designing any armor.
>>30452199
Just came back from National Training Center about a week ago in the Mojave. This armor is just impractical for that environment. In full uniform alone I was sweating through my clothes and going through about 3 camelbacks a day. We had to do simulations where we had full body armor on and put gas masks on because during the simulations they threw CS gas at us. After experiencing that, which is basically the same as what you're showing me in the OP picture, plus a duster? Pretty much anyone not chugging water is going to go down from the heat in less than an hour.
tl;dr: looks cool, doesn't feel cool, doesn't stay cool

I imagine it's some kind of engine limitation. I have no idea if they showed up in the originals though.

They were in Oblivion, which is what the original fallout 3 engine was based on.

Cows can eat things that would kill horses. They're basically walking compost piles.
Wouldnt the world be just a tad bit cooler after a nuclear war? Maybe thats why the rangers can wear full body coverings in the Mojave. The NCR troopers complain about the heat but hell even northerners complain when they visit Texas in the summer. The new NCR troops may have no idea how 90+ degrees feels since it may be between 70 to 80 in the summer because of the climate change? No idea really just conjecture.

>FO4 better than FNV
>>30492960
I'll confirm that as a Wisconsinfag who finds anything above 75 unbearable.
>>30492960
We've no idea what it's really made out of, is one issue. For all we know that base layer suit might be incredibly good at wicking sweat and very breathable.
Really though it's probably not practical but damn if it doesn't look awesome, which is really the point, the big heavy longcoat probably isn't really doing anyone any favors.
>>30492989
Today would have sucked for you then. I think it was 96 where we were. Drinking beer and burning scorpion nests was fun though.
>>30493002
True and the fact the tech in the fallout universe is so ahead and behind ours in many ways makes it hard to guess. The helmets could have had closed system AC of some kind with bad ass HEPA filters for pulling in fresh air when needed or it could have been a "US GOV" quality mask with nothing.

>FO4
>better than NV
>FO4

no
I understand being tired of NV though. Ive done everything there is to do in that game and then some, several times. not even mods can make it fresh now. I want NV:2. I seriously hope obsidian will get to unfuck FO4's engine and make more mojave/western adventures.

Spends all that money on a costume and buys a nugget to cosplay with.
This man does not have his priorities in order
>>30493664
But it fits the setting. Rugged, reliable old rifle made in such quantities that there's probably still enough of them around, and one of the base rifles in the game is a plain old wood and steel bolt action rifle.
>>30492275
yes i have. you've never been to wasteland weekend.
>>30493231
The FO4 engine is so bad for the modding community. There are a LOT of problems with modding things in, not least of which is that it's apparently really hard, as in nigh impossible for them to mod in fresh animations, and you need paid programs and software licenses to do it, while previous games it could be done with free stuff.
Which means we're probably not going to see as many reload animations and stance animations for the game.
yo /k/ steam sale is on and since i dont want to make my own thread, what /k/ game should i get besides the cheeki breeki series?
>>30494689
Verdun and red orchestra
>>30494689
Wargame Red Dragon is pretty good and is finally seeing some new development.
In non /k/ related gaming Homeworld Remastered is fantastic and you should buy it and I cannot recommend it enough.
>>30452199
if you post it at least post the high-res image,faggot.
>>30495234
What is that thing on the back of the duster?
>>30495244
no info on the wiki. my guess is a battery for the helmet.
>>30492904
You're never going to win this argument. It's literally a wasteland of nothing to eat.
So, /k/.
Which faction.
>>30466453
>Hellfire
You mean heavy uncomfortable pile of pig nosed black shit?
>Rager patrol
Yeah it looks like it would be a good armor, but it just doesn't seem as strong as lets say elite riot gear One seems to be a lightweight metal alloy composite, and the other Ranger patrol combat armor looks to be made of pure kevlar.
As long as the metal isn't heavy, it won't do.
>Centurion
It's litterally super mutant armor aka car parts and heavy ass t-45 power armor.
>Assualt Marine
>wearing some heavy clunky giant scuba suit that isn't even as good as power armor outside of the water.
>>30496286
Did Randall Clark live the most true/k/ommando life possible?
>>30452199
>>>/v/
and kill youself
>>30496321
Eh Graham probably beats him in sheer /k/ness but Randall's still my favorite Fallout character.
>>30496321
Nigga killed degenerating mutants, ghouls, tried to save old people. raised like two families and I think both of them died, and had the balls to as an aging man become a "god of the caves" and raise random children into a whole tribe of people all while not even being seen.
I'd say yeah, but how did he get the armor off of a marine who served in the Chinese Gobi Desert, I guess soldiers keep their armor after they serve.
>>30496321
Honestly he might have, it's too bad he's a mentioned in optional lore text only character that exists in a video game universe (DLC at that). There's a lot to be said for how he did things that we can all learn from (which sounds weird about someone who's less than a side character).
>>30496376
>a marine who served in the Chinese Gobi Desert
Despite the name being Desert Ranger Armor, in China the solider who used it was in around Nanjing and Shanghai.

Lol no. The NATO/US Aesthetic of the 50-80's era is objectively the best. Everybody looked like they were there to go about the business of being an actual soldier, not stepping on Slavic peasant's necks.
>>30496528
>/k/ is Ncr or Bos

>>30460546
NCR bandoleer armor for life. That shit was fucking sick, and it looked like you'd expect a (semi) professional post apocalyptic army to look.
>>30466271
Texas Rangers(1865-1910 era) + Green Beret levels of training and skill in working with locals and infiltrating enemy terrain + Spetsnaz levels of toughness and not giving a fuck.
You tell me.
Also, Caeser can suck my balls, the legion a shit.

This, Boomers are /k/ incarnate.
Faction Goals:
>Shoot guns at anyone who moves
>Blow stuff up for fun
>Repair a bomber to blow more stuff up
>>30496114
Boomers, by far. They worship the gun. Everyone gets a gun. Literally the Vault they came from, Vault 34, was loaded with residents who were gun enthusiasts.
Then, they went full innawoods and captured a air force base, with enough firepower to topple a small African country.
They also really really want you off their lawn. But hey if you survive the artillery barrage they throw at you, they'll take you in asking how the fuck you survived said attack.
>>30452199
Riot-class body armor for ballistic protection with reinforced helmet. And to top it all off, a nice thick trench coat for a cool look. All things considered the duster look would probably help in the desert, but the darker colors and the fact that it is body armor would make it unbearable to wear in the desert.
>Siberia here I come
>>30496114
boomers are neat, [spoiler] but their quests could be better. [/implying spoilers work on /k/]
>>30496684
>/k/ not being underground paranoid military hiding all the weapons and other goodies from locals
>>30492960
Interesting idea. Though if temperatures remained the same, I imagine the Rangers would be well accustomed to the heat. I've never been to the Mojave, but as a Calfag, I can tell you that temperatures in excess of 100 degrees are normal in the summer, and not unheard of even in the colder seasons. Though to be fair, I do live in southern California.
If the NCR's boys grew up dealing with weather like that, I can't imagine they'd find the Mojave too much worse
>>30499183
They train in baja
>>30471878
That's why I hate Fallout 4, the guns are too cartoony. Obsidian did a significantly better job.
>>30454393
