I just discovered your channel and I love it. That Atomic Dab Mug is pretty nice too.

[@justrobin8155]

How are you still doing these? I had no idea you even *could* do this many lost a for New Vegas. Keep doing your thing, man. I am genuinely impressed that you have so many of these.

[@Panzerfanlol]

I'm sure someones said this but when I see the Madre armour I just think "COBBBBRRAAAAAA!"

[@burntgrahamcracker2866]

The T 51b is one of the items on my endgame checklist just for its look alongside a fully modded tri beam laser rifle and sprtl wood

[@darkhavengaming8908]

I have long awaited this video...

[@LoserManic]

I wanna add, for the Reinforced Combat armor mark 2, if you travel west of the sunset sarsaparilla headquarters, and find a brewery behind the headquarters in the hills, if you follow the trail behind the brewery (passed some cazadores) keep following the trail west until you find a duffle bag near a skeleton and some mutilated body parts, there's a duffle bag with the armor. I don't know if its level specific, but I did find some there. So it is possible to get some without spending caps, but if you don't want to fight cazadores, than caps are the safe route.

[@SavageGreywolf]

The Elite Riot Gear is badass certainly but considering you gave the Gannon family variant of the Remnants armor a special mention you probably should have done the same for the Desert Ranger Armor. It has the same DT as the Elite Riot Gear but no special effect. It is slightly heavier but it is much easier to get, given that Honest Hearts has a recommended level of 10+ but Lonesome Road has a recommended level of 25+. Plus it has the whole history of being Great War Marine armor and having the soldier markings- it just looks cool.

[@bananapie6506]

Yknow, on my first run through, I wasn't prepared at all for dead money so I've hated it forever. Now that I've ran through it a couple times though, its not that bad tbh.

[@antoniovivas6807]

I feel it

[@johnthomas4108]

[@tobypeters5904]

Good on you still making these lists in 2020

[@nonameb5240]

Your videos really bring me back. Not having this game anymore really sucks lol. So many memories.

[@jonkrier]

One of my favorites is the Vault 34 Security Armor, because it has decent DT and it is super cheap to have repaired. It isn't very durable, but seriously it is like 100 caps to repair.

[@nathanielhatch2992]

If you get the reinforced mark 2 combat armor and have jury rigging i belive you can repair it quite easily using the vault 34 security armor

[@nathanielhatch2992]

Just another suggestion

12:48 another location for a full t51b power armor set, is at the brotherhood of steel safehouse, its in terrible condition, but theres also a t45d power armor suit there, and a recon suit if you want it, along with some other crap.

[@usoassassino]

I love the non-faction riot gear set, I equipped all my human companions the armours. With boon being given the desert riot gear, and Veronica the Advance set.

[@cm5913]

You just turned your companions into a commando unit.

[@soundwave-superior7372]

To make the DT even better for all armour is by Getting the NEMAN implant, Lonesome road ED-E’s upgrade that improves DT, and all perks of toughness

[@Oopsibwokeit]

The stealth suit mkII from Old World Blues is my favorite. Not only does the armor talk to you (alerting you to combat, checking stimpacks and med-x you have, reminding you your pipboy light is on, and just commenting every so often or asking if you like it) but after doing the trials to upgrade it, it gives a whopping +25 to sneak, +1 to PER and AGI, and increases your sneak movement speed by +20% (as medium armor.) It also automatically dispenses stim packs, med-x, and IIRC antivenom as needed. It's body armor only, and DT is only 14, but for sheer flavor I love it. Just ignore the med-x addiction and my lack of stimpacks...

[@pbrfever6696]

Awwww yis more New Vegas content. Love you man

8:51 I found a full free set in the down right corner of the map I don't remember the name of the place but I thik its a mine or a cave just explore a bit

[@riotplanet6182]

random gamer bloodboone cave? I believe the one with the nightstalkers. Also if you don’t take wild waste land Perk you can get one from the mercenaries where the aliens were supposed to be

[@girf4233]

T-51b power armor is by far the best armor in the game. Sure it has less DT than the enclave one but it doesnt break after a light breeze.

[@DustinKayBliss]

Thanks Dude so Much :)

[@matheusaugusto8327]

Great video ! Do one like this for Fallout 3 please !

[@Jessie_Helms]

Well dang, I need to cheat in some power armor and remnant armor- I cleared out the deathclaw, found the guns, but the bodies weren’t there.

[@breeboy1]

Took me tree trys to find the bodies, if you leave the area for 72 game hours and come back it resets the map and you may find them then. Also they kinda blend into the rocks really well

[@joshuaashton1929]

[@manwithaporpoiseYTsucksD]

I like the light armor especially when you increase your survival past 45 and get Travel Light Perk(10% faster while wearing). Works good with heavy weapons that slow you down. That and carrying capacity is precious in Hardcore Mode

[@almightyoxx]

I usually like to use the combat armor reinforced MK II with the rebreather so you get really good armor and still move relatively quick.

[@gabezed2329]

If we're talking base game, reinforced leather armour takes the cake. It's easy to find, and has a good enough DT to be primary armour.

[@archyvile9926]

Great video, Condo Geriatrics!

[@corduroyboy5848]

You can also get the Combat Armor MK 2 in a cazador nest that’s behind the Brewer’s Beer Bootlegging shack.

[@robertfidler1734]

There's also a cheap way to get Combat Armor Reinforced Mk. II, if you don't choose the Wild Wasteland trait, the enemies where the aliens typically are (northernmost part of the map, west of the northern passage) feature one person with that armor set and the YCS, a unique Gauss Rifle.

[@YourBoyNobody530]

Use the remnants power armor get the damage threshold implant to have 40 DT then use med-x to get a DT of 65 add in other drugs and consumables to get roughly 75 damage threshold literally stand in front of multiple death claws at the highest difficulty wondering why people think death claws are dangerous

[@samuelsebriant7438]

luckily you're talking about base game deathclaws, which are a joke, lonesome road ones pierce DT and do 500+ damage with each strike on normal

Huh my build

[@MaxLadik]

Yeah, with you on Graham's armor. Generally use that with Dr. Möbius's glasses and the recon beret, swapping the glasses for the elite riot helmet when things get serious. I like Daniel's outfit on Cass.

[@ghuttsmckenzie4269]

Another way to get a non faction T51-b is by going to the armory after becoming a member of the brotherhood, another version of remnants power armor is found at the enclave bunker.

[@TheGamer6969]

Caedo i just finished your fallout 3 lets play. Ever going to do another one?? I liked the way you played

[@willlauzon3744]

There's a death claw promontory? What?

[@GodzillaMaster18]

The elite riot gear can also be found on the highway after the first tunneler layer. So you take out the marked men on the high way and detonate the nuke, then you can take some debris in the left side up and find a set after crossing to the right side, so much earlier and easier to get imo

[@Furykidxxx]

Elite Riot Gear FTW! And it looks so badass!
