NCR salvaged power armor is the most protective NCR disguise one can obtain for most of the game, equaled only by the NCR Ranger combat armor, which is also 11 pounds lighter than the salvaged power armor. The only advantage it provides is that it possesses an item HP of 1000 while no version of combat armor has HP higher than 650. In terms of effectiveness, NCR salvaged power armor is bested in weight-to-DT ratio alone by the far lighter combat armor, reinforced mark 2, which has the same DT rating, weighs 17.5 pounds less, and also lacks any sort of Agility penalty. As the armor is not powered, pulse guns or any other EMP weapons have no effect. It does have the same -2 Agility effect alongside slightly reduced weight and Damage Threshold. Salvaged power armor does not require the Power Armor Training perk and does not have the same +2 Strength or 10% radiation resistance bonuses of T-45d power armor. It has a yellow NCR bear logo painted on the chest plate and red stripes on the arms. NCR technicians stripped out the joint servos, making it more difficult to use, but has no special training requirement. NCR salvaged power armor is T-45d power armor recovered by the NCR during their war with the Brotherhood of Steel.
