Strange armor inside the Broc Flower Cave

Post » Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:40 am

So, I'm doing the Debt collector quest, and I went to the Broc Flower Cave after using the Lady Killer perk with Jane.

Got the caps, and decided to get the Ratslayer, too.

But this time, something strange happened, something that never occured to me before.

I found an armor named Commando Defender (or something around that, my game is in Italian): it looks the same as the leather armor, but is tagged as heavy and has 15 DR, even though it weights 15.00, like a standard light armor.

I searched the wiki, it's not there. Did it happen to you? Is this some kind of secret armor?

I am, but the name should be in English, not Italian, if it was from a mod.

Not if the mod simply adds an existing set of armor into a location in the game.

The Commando Defender is simply a variant of the standard leather armor that's normally obtainable only through using the console. You have a mod that apparently adds it into the game world.

Probably that, thanks for the information.

But why isn't it on the wiki, though?

Oh, but it's from the Fallout 3 cut content page, not New Vegas'.

New Vegas uses all the same assets that Fallout 3 did, a lot of which were never used in New Vegas.

The armor is still there in the files, just never used much as they weren't used in Fallout 3. One of the mods you're using 'restores' some of the cut content and they may have assumed the Commando Defender was cut from New Vegas, when it was actually just a hold over.

Yes, I got it, thank you.

In the end, I was just asking why it didn't have a different page as New Vegas. Thanks for your patience in answering.

The wiki only deals with the vanilla game, it doesn't address any content added or changed by mods, except for noting game bugs fixed by the various unofficial patches. Since that armor is an unused asset carried over from Fallout 3 and would be unobtainable in vanilla New Vegas without using console commands, the wiki will not mention it.
