Can be looted from Esteban Morales at the unmarked quest Proper Burial.The armor is in the inventory of a body, but is not equipped, making it seem as if there is no armor on the body. Use caution, because the door, like almost everything else in the outpost, is booby-trapped. When you enter the outpost building, go through the broken door to the left. Can be found at Ranger Station Charlie when checking it out for Ranger Andy in Novac.This is only a cosmetic feature and cannot be used. As stated in concept art picture, there is a 'water sackpack' in the back of the armor, obviously to protect and store water.

The armor also has a black ceramic combat knife holstered on the left chest plate which is unusable by both the player and non-player characters. It can also be repaired by non-player characters, and is substantially cheaper to repair than normal combat armor. If this Ranger dies, their armor may be looted without impacting the player's relationship with the NCR. If the player is in good enough standing with the NCR, they will receive an NCR emergency radio and be able to call in an NCR Ranger to aid them in combat. It can typically be found earlier in the game than combat armor but repairs will be an issue without Jury Rigging or actively killing NCR Rangers and looting their armor. This armor provides the same level of protection as combat armor but has a higher item HP meaning it will degrade more slowly. Each suit features body armor patterned after 1st generation combat armor with added additions, such as a knife sheath on the left chest plate, a camelback style hydration pouch in the back, pauldrons with the Ranger insignia on both and a set of spiked spurs for hand-to-hand combat. The NCR Ranger patrol armor is an armored suit worn by the NCR Rangers in 2281.
