background

Riot armor was developed as a specialized version of combat armor and was issued only to selected police departments and the U.S. Marine Corps. Some models of armor have a duster that protects the armor from dust. However, in more urban environments such as Boston, the duster is replaced by a larger protective gorget with additional back plating. The helmet's design has also been redesigned to include more protective plating. Additionally, the integrated optics are more limited, requiring specific West-Tek equipment to activate the vision mode to prevent Chinese forces from repurposing the helmet if captured.

Features

This mod adds a new melee weapon, armor, three new loading screens, and layered armor to the Federation.

The armor is much stronger than combat armor and begins to generate on Brotherhood members and Gunners at level 30. Armor also rarely appears as random loot, on a ghoul wearing riot armor, or on a level 26 merchant. Riot police uniforms can be found on gunmen and vendors of any rank.

The breastplate features multiple faction-based decals to choose from.

Riot helmets can be further customized, with four helmet, seven face, six filter, seven headlight and six eye mod variations to choose from

Most helmet mods can be mixed and matched

Like the breastplate, the helmet also has a variety of decal options to choose from.

Vision mods such as Night Vision or Thermal Vision can only be activated using the West Tek Optics Master, a device that is rarely lootable from Riot Armor feral ghouls.

The new melee weapon, his Riot Baton, does more damage than a regular baton and will start spawning at level 14 wherever regular batons can be found.
