should I take T-51b (non faction) power armour or desert ranger armour to the big empty? I'm unsure at the moment, and would like to hear other peoples opinions. my current choice is the power armour
yeah although I have have remnants power armour, I'm gonna stick with the T-51 set, with about 4 guns and 800-1500 rounds for each, including HP, AP, slugs and JSP, lots and lots of .308 JSP
Lets see for my male guns user I'll probably go in with the Remnant Power Armor, he's a tank. My other character a female energy weapons user will use Joshua's armor as she's much more critical based, and I intentionally skipped toughness and the dermial implant
Since I got the Desert Ranger Armor I prefer it over the power armor. It just seems to take the same amount of damage that the power armor I was using does but weight is lower and I can run faster.
I also like the thought of the front of the helmet saying "forgive me mama", I laugh every time I kill someone they read that and thats the last thought they have.
TBH, T-51b and Desert Ranger armor are overrated. I prefer either Combat Armor Mk ll as field armor, or the Dirty Pre-War Businesswear for dialogue/cinematic moments.
I would take either nothing or something light. There is new clothing to have in OWB and those armors will just weigh you down.
I always find taking whatever relates well to your character is a happy decision. Light packing but still. In my case it's between the rancher outfit or Joshua's vest.
Going in with Joshua Graham's armor, Grey Ranger Hat (which looks brown and matches the vest nicely), Authority Glasses, the Rebreather, Pushy and Ton-o-junk with my Pack Rat perk!
