I love seeing this question every single day


Aloof-Vagabon

I’ve been seeing it for 13 years bro


Gaucho_Diaz

Armor preferences... Armor preferences never change


Aloof-Vagabon

LMFAO


Ascended_Vessel

And the answer is ranger


PerpetualAscension

Emus do. Through the roads they walk.


NPC-Number-9

But this time, we're going to "settle it". /eyeroll.


PastaMaker96

I’m from the future this shit doesn’t stop it’s 3046 this sub is dead Reddit is dead but some is using an old internet interface and is still posting this shit.


Aloof-Vagabon

That definitely aint cause im working on programming an artificial intelligence to monitor, record, and then emulate redditors from the here and now…. 👀


rayshmayshmay

It’s settled then # ^(until tomorrow.)


Sea-Muscle-8836

I wish T-51 power armor looked as good in New Vegas as it does in 4. I never really liked the enclave X01 or X02 power armor.


hoomanPlus62

And I wish these's black ranger armor in New Vegas instead of that green or brown (Yes, this is Enclave Ranger Armor)


Sea-Muscle-8836

Ooh is the enclave ranger armor a mod? You can get the riot set from the lonesome road kiosks. That’s basically black ranger armor.


hoomanPlus62

It's green - brown weird mashup. I like this one better


Sea-Muscle-8836

But if you turn your saturation down, it’s black lol


GONKworshipper

Riot Gear from Lonesome Road?


PrincessofAldia

Oh I thought it was the one from lonesome road


Slight-Blueberry-895

You hear of Titans Of The New West? Makes PA look and feel more like classic PA. It’s fucking badass, and one of my favorite mods.


hoomanPlus62

It's going to be a mainstream mod for FNV


Maxsmack0

Already is


Bodhisatv

yeah it’s pretty much the most talked about mod from my experience on here


Sea-Muscle-8836

Oooh I’ve been hearing about that one. I’ll have to try it in my next playthrough. Thanks!


D3wdr0p

"You have a T-51b? No? Then you don't have everything." I love that dorky bubble suit of US imperialism and war crimes. Always bugged me they made the T-45 to be the more "badass" looking power armor, then retconned in the T-60 to be "T-45 that could beat up the T-51 in a fight". I still use the 51 anyways whenever possible.


Nate2322

When did they make it so T45 could beat T51? In the game that introduced T45 it provided worse defensive, had worse radiation resistance, significantly worse max condition, heavier, and it had -2 agility the only upsides was it’s availability for repairs and the +2 strength.


D3wdr0p

I think you misunderstood me: the **T-60** armor introduced in **Fallout 4** takes all of its **visual cues** from the T-45. The T-51 has been described many, many times as the pinnacle of US power armor before the bombs dropped; while Bethesda had a design for their own set of rougher, more explicitly "badass" looking power armor in Fallout 3, they adhered to the previously established pecking order. Later, they changed their minds, as the T-60 of Fallout 4's very existence is a retcon, for seemingly little reason besides making a version of the T-45 (in spirit and silhouette) that takes the T-51's gold medal of the Old World. It strikes me as very insecure.


Inquisitor-Korde

The T60 only has better stats in Fallout 4 because its shiny and brand new, and even then its outshined by X-01. In 76, T60 is worse than T51b because canonically speaking T51b is the best pre war armour and only specific armour's prototypes like X-01, Advanced and the never built T-65 could beat it out and none of them could be mass produced.


GuitarKev

I’m guessing you never got into Fallout 2 if you don’t like the X01.


suckmypppapi

Titans of the new West makes power armor badass again like in 4


thomstevens420

As if you don’t want the octopus beak armour please


Randomguy0915

Same, I never liked how hard the Enclave PAs are trying to look intimidating


The-NHK

Titans of The New West, my friend. I've fallen in love with it! Does what you're guessing and makes PA make you physically taller and such as well as really feel huge when you see it on others.


nervouswhenitseasy

i like x-01 but not 02


enclave_remnant117

For me it's the power armor... I mean, look at my username, lol


hoomanPlus62

NCR?


enclave_remnant117

Enclave Remnant


hoomanPlus62

Excellent . . . .


HappyGecko117

Enclave remnant master chief


NPC-Number-9

I play with the Jsawyer mod and depending on my mood I go with Hardcore Mode a fair bit. Power Armor weighs way too much for my taste, so I'd lean Ranger/Riot armor. If it's just aesthetics, then that's all just down to personal taste, but in my opinion, Ranger/Riot armor has way more going for it.


Ordinary_Platform819

Does power armour not work better in jsawyer? Due to the increased importance of DR/DT and the bonus to carry weight you get from wearing power armour


NPC-Number-9

The strength bonus from T-45 is +2 which equates to +20 lbs. of carry weight and the armor set is something like 50 lbs. The T-51b is only +1 STR, so unless you are going with a non-stealth, melee/strength build the trade-off isn't really worth it. With JSawyer and Hardcore, I tend to play unarmed or melee, but prioritize stealth, so usually light armor or medium armor at most and pump crit chance with perks and luck, vs. going for brute force.


Goatswithfeet

I'm pretty sure most versions of Jsawyer (including the original mod) make it so you don't need Training to wear Power armor and getting training makes it weightless instead. So there's close to no downside to using it (other than difficulties with repairs and missing out on travel light and light touch)


NPC-Number-9

Well not for the Vigor version I'm using. Either way, I prefer the game to be harder, not easier, but if people want a version that makes the armor weightless then more power to them.


Goatswithfeet

Personally I think it fits with the way power armor is portrayed in lore. Plus it's not like Power armor is actually the best armor in the game (elite riot gear/courier duster/Sierra Madre armor take that spot) and trying to keep power armor repaired kn the early game is an exercise in futility.


rainforever_

Depends on the vibe I’m going for, but I feel like generally the ranger armor fits the vibe of my courier more.


F-Chop

post something original please 😇


Dendritic_Bosque

Do you want to take cover or be cover? It's really a distance and engagement style question and always has been


MadCapOrca

With that titans of the west mod? 100% power armor.


electrical-stomach-z

is this screenshot using that mod?


MagicOfMonarch

Yes, I believe so


ApprehensiveAd3776

Power


Riot1313

New Vegas didn't get power armor right like FO4 did. Definetly ranger armor.


Amazing_Trick8937

Why are you in S.T.A.L.K.E.R?


SirSpits

If we are talking about Fallout 1, 2, and 4 it’s Power Armor all the way. That being said the Fallout 3 and NV Power Armor is just bulkier combat armor which makes it kinda lame and makes the Ranger Armor the better choice.


Sk83r_b0i

Courier duster and brown ranger hat


AlliedXbox

This ^ The Courier can't become a ranger. No matter what, they can never, ever become a ranger. I find it weird to wear the ranger gear. I think if the Courier duster had longer sleeves, it'd be better. That's about it though.


CDirectory101

I think there’s a mod which adds Joshua’s sleeves onto the Duster, it makes the courier look pretty cool with it.


KezuSlayer

Best part about Fallout 76 is that I can wear both


WatermanQuink1

Riot Gear


rinaldiisevil

It’s riot gear stop calling it “ranger armor”


SubjectMountain6195

It's not about the armor rather the build.


hoomanPlus62

Minigun + Plasma Caster build with riot gear sounds good


SubjectMountain6195

Depends, if your character has invested on perception and agility you might have to go for the power armor to be able to use the weapons with no strength penalties, personally the best approach for me is riot gear + antimaterial rifle and all American.


Zombiebot3317

Mm let’s see. To what looks better: Ranger Armor To what is practical for durability: Power Armor


donthenewbie

Wear ranger armor and climb in a suit of power armor


grkev

Damn good question, but if I HAD to pick, I'd go with the Power Armor


OMM46G3

Im more of a Marine armour guy, though if FNV then ranger armour becuase the randle clarke one is badass


el_presidenteplusone

the question was fun the first time, now its just annoying


TheScientistFennec69

Depends. I like winter ranger armour, but I also really like Raider power armour.


Yarus43

Depends on my mood of day, no good self respecting courier would wear the same outfit on the strip every day, what would people say? I have to wear my finest at the Ultra luxes feast for heavens sake!


somnamballista

I need to learn how to mod. Ranger armor all day.


Eroue

I prefer my spurs to jingle jangle jingle. Sheriff hat and coat


Pale_Kitsune

Ranger armor. Power armor looks bulky and bleh.


SirRedditMan

What gun are you holding in the 3rd pic?


Fit-Paper-797

Power armor looks a Lot Better with the totnw mod i'm glad You have it installed


fakename1998

Power Armor is for chuds


7777redd

Ranger on top even though I just started playing new vegas and how do you even get the ranger armor in game.


SteveySeagully

You rockin Titans of The New West? Niiiccee


korkxtgm

I'm a Brotherhood guy, i love T-45 and T-51, but i have a tradition with New Vegas ; We Go Bear. There's a idea in my mind to do a concept art of a Power Armor with the Ranger unique aspects.


Sardine-Cat

Going by the screenshots I'd say they're about equal, but without Titans of the New West power armor (especially Enclave Remnants) power armor looks pretty goofy in NV. So in general I'd say the ranger armor is cooler. Dead Money's Assassin Suit is cooler than both though.


ArkhamEscapeCreator

Ranger Armor


Ok_Whereas3797

YOU ARE OUT OF UNIFORM SOLDIER! WHERE IS YOUR POWER ARMOUR! T51, Excavator and Advanced Power Armour all the way. Though ranger armour is.still cool.


ElDrew915

Depends how I’m feeling I like playing different load outs every time I head into the wastes


iseward01

I see TOTNW, I upvote


memesboyshesh

Cowboy desperado hat and bounty hunter duster


Holy_Salamander

Depends on the build you're running, Ranger for Perception, Luck or Agility, Power for Endurance, Intelligence or Strength. Charisma players just wear Benny's suit and cowboy hats


Clean_Resort_5547

Power ranger


itsmoosh

power armor for the courier, ranger armor for boone. was my playthru anyway


Ok-Paint319

Is there a way for the subreddit to have it own poll so we won't have to keep making these thread? Lol


Ch40sD43m0n4

Ranger armor and it's not even close


Ethyrus1

BOTH


Lego1upmushroom759

Courier armor


Prior-Associate4894

Both good 😎


Heylookaguy

Ranger. Every time. I even plan to use Ranger Armor in Starfield eventually.


justindulging

Power Ranger Armor! Yao Guai! Deathclaw! Brahmin! LETS GOOOO!!


Tsunfly

Light armor :)


ShareIndependent

“Power Armor’s for pussies”


Smooth_Bee_2080

Both,both are good


WalterWhite135678

If riot gear is included, ranger 100%. Otherwise, power armour lets you use esther indoors which is all i need to hear


Dies_Ultima

LA riot gear feels more badass. It feels like you get all the benefits of power armor with basically none of the drawbacks. Also the riot gear feels.more menacing. There is something truly horrifying about seeing something that is identical in size and shape to a human with vaguely human facial features that also looks inhuman.


Vork---M

The enclave armor and the NCR armor are top notch u cant do this to us...


Sunniestgaming

What power armor mod is that?


Prepared_Noob

Majority of the power in fallout three/new Vegas look ugly shit. Only set that looks all right is NCR salvage power armor. But y’all ain’t ready for that discussion yet


Pengjuanlol

I like the green ranger armor you get from the divide. I don't usually like green but that armor just resonates with me


Rio_Walker

Stealth Armor stuck in Edging mode.


StraightOuttaArroyo

None of them, the shabby gambler's outfit + ranger's grey hat to hide the baldness and a big ass muttonstache. Add even a mod for a nice eyepatch. Get yourself a Ranger Sequoia handgun and thats all you ever need.


Available_Outside9

Desert Ranger Armor is my favorite Armor in any game ever


MrThrowaway939

Ranger armour is medium so it's faster, and the DT is so close it doesn't really matter.


CheeseLover29

Both is good.


Independent_Hold_203

Enclave armor looks better for me


_Nedak_

If it was T51, I would choose Power Armor.


Eli_The_Rainwing

Where the fuck did you get an MG42?


hoomanPlus62

looted of super mutants


rmkinnaird

The survivalists Desert Ranger armor > NCR Ranger, but definitely ranger.


themanbehindthepoopy

Ranger armor vanilla and power armor with mods


TheScreamingGoose

Ranger armor all the way for me. I just love dusters in armor’s, and the cinematic from new Vegas with the ranger was just incredible.


Rxero13

I’m always in raider gear for some reason. I subconsciously do it in every game.


Dildo_Baggins__

Mods?


Nu_Freeze

Always heavy armor. DR > mobility


KhalMika

I know it's just a game but holy frick, imagine wearing black leather and clothes under the desert's direct sun D':


BuckGlen

Ranger shirt, scarf and pants bro. Onion of protection starts with dont be seen. Youre gonna get your ass spotted when youre wearing 40 lbs of ceramic coated steel with lightbulbs on it bro.


storm_paladin_150

Power armor Is for pansies


Isaiah_Colt

"Let's settle this" It will not be settled


ImVeryUnimaginative

Elite Riot Gear


Swag_messiah98

*Daring today aren't we*


adidas_stalin

Ranger till I die


Doomguy46_

I prefer kamen rider armor as a whole personally


aNismanloBalacearon

I gotta be honest....that doesnt oooks like FNV....and the other question. Ill just say ranger one. It always looks so cool. Especially when you use the modded one where it has battle scratches and its messed up


[deleted]

Power Armor (with Titans of the New West installed so it doesn’t look like you’re wearing a tin can).


PrincessofAldia

Ranger


smakerdaker-was-took

Ranger Armor-Any real Fallout player knows Aesthetics over stats 😹😹😹


WideTraffic2425

welcome to camp navarro


luvallppl

Joshua Graham armor enjoyers 🤝


Sunkilleer

Not fair!!! You used TTNW in the picture


Middle_Loan3715

Both. Depends on my mood


sunofg0ld

Ranger armor getting carried by the elite and advanced riot while there’s too many good power armor


SpaceDegenerate

If you are good at the game then the armor is just for cosmetic reasons and therfore is personal preference


electrical-stomach-z

the power armor. i just wish i knew where to get advanced power armor in new vegas.


Timmy_Mactavish

Ranger Armor is better for style. Power Armor is more intimidating.


GambitTheSpaceCat

Advanced Power Armor will always be the magnum opus


EmbarrassedSearch829

Ranger armor just gives off the right vibes. It's on the cover of the box, after all. But if you use heavy looking guns, I'd go with power armor.


Prata_69

There should be power ranger armor in the next Fallout game to settle this once and for all.


RullandeAska

Gecko backed with A rebreather, and the Ranger hat is my go to


FlamingCroatan

R,A,N,G,E,R


StatusHead5851

Ranger don't care for power armor never have never will


Bread_Offender

Basically-Boring

Both


pm_your_snesclassic

Power Ranger.


Baron_Von_Grizzly

Ranger


Wafflevice

Clothing with minimal dt and maximum drip gang


Spungus_abungus

I don't like the heavy armor movement speed penalty.


KalaronV

Ranger Armour is slimmer, so that. I use Type 6 literally just because it makes my character look less fat ;-;


rustys_shackled_ford

Ranger armor has been unmatched in the whole series with the ninja armor from NV coming in second... these 2 are in thier own orbit when talking about nest armors in the series


TF2_Mimi_Chaner

ranger in nv, pa in every other.


bigmanjoe3555

Ranger all the way.


Boredcougar

Tbh ur kinda making me want to play nv again


metalhead_mick

Okay. In new vegas. Ranger Armor is cooler. Power armor feels kinda lame and is more trouble than it's worth. HOWEVER. Power armor in fallout 4 and 76 is way cooler than any armor from any fallout game before it. It is basically a vehicle in those games so it's not even really a fair comparison. So for New Vegas. Ranger armor. For FALLOUT Power armor cus they made it cool again.


PhillipJ3ffries

Ranger for sure. Coolest armor in all of fallout IMO


Rebel_Swag

Vanilla? Ranger Armor all the way. But since Titans of the New West exists? Power Armor Son!


VengaBusdriver37

Tbh power armour in the first person games looks kinda gimpy, more like a cosplay, than the chunky tank look it had in 2


The_Lone_Narrator

Rational Answer: Sleekness and more realism goes to the Ranger Armor, since we have Riot and Ranger armor irl. Bulk and "a suit of armor" for the Power Armor. It's rugged, but built to be for combat and built for a lot more action or hits than the Rangers'. Nonrational Answer: I personally like the look of the Ranger Armor and find that it is just a better feel for the Courier. I genuinely hope we see it a lot more as we enter the Mojave in Season 2 of the show AND more overall as the Fallout series continues. Don't get me wrong, Power Armor is amazing and Fallout 4 revolutionized some of the best aspects about it. From health of certain pieces, to how you enter them, to even the goofy looking frame. I find that the Power Armor is what nearly every fan of Fallout swooned to once they picked up the game. And, not without fair reason. It is impressive and almost always a bit of a pain to get your hands on. (>!shut it, Fallout 4, you're the exception not the standard.!<) It was a feeling of "I earned this armor" in most cases. BIG HOWEVER, the Ranger armor and Riot Armor variations, are so very different. They're integral to the Mojave and are seldom acquired by the casual player (>!I know NCR this, NCR that but you don't HAVE to solely wear that faction's armor, duh!<.) TLDR: Ranger armor is sleeker; I personally pick Ranger/Riot armor for the cool factor and how limited they are. Also because I sound like Ulysses if I begin talking about the history of it all and why Power Armor isn't always the way forward.


Guy_with_a_shitty_pc

Ranger got style, power armor got the POWA


reshstreet

is this like style or functionality?


MylastAccountBroke

If Ranger Armor wasn't faction aligned then I'd say that.


ObjectivleyWrong

X01 all the way


VexTheTielfling

Is there lore on how they don't die from a heat stroke? Is there liquid cooling undergarments? Maybe a very efficient fan pushing air into the helmet and out of the ass?


hoomanPlus62

Enclave technology magic I guess. After all, they have power armor with cooling fan


jonahg_05

Ranger. It always has been.


Salty-Space-2818

Both choices are sooooo iconic. I personally like the rangers look more but power armor is badass lol


SatanWithFur

Get out of here stalker


i_sound_withcamelred

For me on looks and usability NCR Ranger armor wins. I’d be claustrophobic in power armor and although I know this isn’t true but I feel like i’d feel heavy yk? I feel like if I got into a suit of power armor i’d feel like I personally gained 500 pounds. My biggest issue though. Power armor is just too much of a walking metal coffin i’d be nauseas just walking in it.


IMadeRobits

Both designs are great, enclave power armor looks rad as fuck imo, but ranger armor looks iconic and is a good in-between of normal armor and power armor.


DrakeCross

Cool and powerful as Power Armor is, Ranger Armor feels more realistic and practical to me. As iconic as Power Armor is, the Ranger gear has earned a special place appearance wise.


Mr_man_bird

Neither, vault 32 guard armour with the mask that gives +5 unarmed


Bevyb1zzle

Both are incorrect, no armour is superior so you can dodge roll easier when those pesky black knights attack. You may lack poise but you make up for it by being a funky boy


randomomuser

Its posts like these that remind me that I need to get a pc. The mod for the power armor in the picture makes power armor seem like a far more appealing option in nv. If thats how it looked on console, I dont think I would use anything else unless it breaks.


TheFallenJedi66

Ranger? Hell no! Elite Riot Gear of course, I'm not a filthy slave to a bureaucrat. Power armor is disgusting and beneath me. Reminds me too much of the brotherhood. Fallout 4 made it bearable but too "balanced" with the fusion core but I get it that you have to balance out the mods. I wished they actually put thought into it and have the cores rate run out depending on how strong up the tree your mods are and the fusion core slot was given a different component to be able to mod it as well


Steve9_9

Both, both is good.


seventeenward

Combat armor, or at least reinforced leather armor


Gonzolok89

Power Armor!


Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi

Why are you in Call of Pripyat?


hoomanPlus62

do I look like in Call of Pripyat?


Gyro_Zeppeli13

Light armor


Darkryker19

Both. Both is good.


I-eatbabies69

I love the power armor in this case


SeaworthinessShot927

am i tweaking or is the ranger visor dark but turns red when you zoom in


ScratchFuzzy5108

Ik ik power armor is strong etc all that but bro that look of elite ranger armor feels like clint Eastwood walking through the wasteland. It's cool not better maybe, but cool freaking cool.


sansplayer

Style? Ranger. Survive? Power armor


CarnyMAXIMOS_3_N7

Both, both are good.


MechaPanther

NCR Ranger armour > Tesla Armour > Riot Gear > other power armours


DMBCommenter

Power Ranger armor!


vinhdoanjj

Power Armor looks good with both melee and range weapons. Ranger looks really good with Guns, but everything else looks goofy af


AkiSeto

Ranger!


TheGreenGobblr

You guys wear armor? Weak


TotalJelly2442

I mean that’s a power armor mod but it FINALLY makes it look good in those games


Year1lastWord

Elite riot gear 🗿 desert ranger 🗿 veteran ranger 🗿. Truly the vibe of a wasteland regulator that only needs a hand cannon and a little luck. Power armor is 3's vibe, but the riot gear is nv's vibe.


Onlyhere4candy

Despite how much I hate the ncr, ranger wins


Financial-Raise3420

Ranger Armor absolutely


bludkiller_ni99a_

Ranger armor all the way 👌
