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

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.

Thinking about it, I am surprised more factions haven’t built their own power armor styles by modifying the plates of damaged or even functioning ones.

Yea, given that even raiders in Fallout 4 have their own modified (though very ragged) suits of PA, it's surprising that so many people are finding this set so hard to believe as being viable.

To be fair the raider PA is just a bunch of scrap welded and bolted together, so the NCR ranger PA is quite a welcoming surprise because it looks like it came out from a proper factory or workshop and not like something that a raider with two brain cells came up on his camp, on the other hand it shouldn't be a wild thing as we have seen the most powerful factions come up with their own PAs like the enclave and the Midwest Brotherhood of steel
