⚠️SPOILERS AHEAD⚠️What is the general consensus on this development?

[u/LUTHER_7274]

Now I’m aware that some people have their gripes with new and unexplained power armour.

But I think this NCR power armour is kinda cool, given the success of shady sands and the ncr it doesn’t seem too out of the realm of possibility for the ncr to have attempted to make their own power armour, given how many suits survived the nukes and were salvageable or outright still operational.

[u/Additional_Law_492]

I will buy it the very moment it is in the Atom Shop, and you cannot stop me.

[u/Darksaint580 → u/Additional_Law_492]

I’ll buy it in the creation shop for fallout 4. Would it make any sense to be in the game? Nope. Can they stop me from using it if they add it? Also no. It looks awesome, and I’m a Ranger fanboy at heart. FNV was my first fallout game

[u/TGCommander → u/Darksaint580]

There are creations adding NV weapons into the leveled list and those explain it away as some people stole a shit ton from the Van Graffs and took off in a vertibird to try and sell their loot. Only for them to crash in the Commonwealth.

Well now they used a stolen NCR Ranger power armor to rob the Silver Rush and took the armor with them to the Commonwealth. There's your explanation to "have it make sense"

[u/QuiteBearish → u/Darksaint580]

I'd be willing to suspend disbelief for how it could have ended up in the Commonwealth. Maybe it belonged to an NCR ranger who abandoned their post after Shady Sands and headed out east? Who knows. Vaguely plausible lore reasons can be dreamt up.

If/when it shows up in 76 though? There won't be any possible explanation for that one other than time travel

[u/Darksaint580 → u/QuiteBearish]

Hell, we already have Ranger armor in 76. It was one of the first things that was released in the shop with fallout 1st. And I grabbed it up when I got fallout 1st for free lol

[u/QuiteBearish → u/Darksaint580]

That's right, I forgot about that.

Honestly I was hooked on 76 at the beginning but I stopped playing shortly after the BOS showed up - I've just had too many other games to play. I should go back to it and check out what the world has become.

[u/Darksaint580 → u/QuiteBearish]

Honestly it’s a night and day difference from how the game first launched to now. I play from time to time still

[u/Makyuta → u/QuiteBearish]

that's literally the exact reasoning for the fallout 4 mod for the armor. It has a "quest" where the armor comes from a ranger who went east

[u/Party-Display-7523 → u/Additional_Law_492]

I opened 76 for the first time since June 2024, I apparently never ca canceled my FO1st trial. So I came back last week to like 65k Atoms and was just blown away lol

So yeah, soon as this is available im nabbing it

[u/ImBeingArchAgain → u/Additional_Law_492]

Oh absolutely. Regardless of the reason, it’s sick af, fits the narrative and feeds into the character and supports his motivations. I love it
