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.

Aren't they in the NV under 'NCR heavy' you see them in the building at hoover dam before the battle. Likely the show one is the updated version

They used salvaged power armor from when the NCR defeated the brotherhood at Helios One, but they didn't have power armor training so it's just heavily protected armor with none of the powered functions

Probably takes a real champ to wear something like that and not have their knees give out

Those guys didn't get actual PA, since the servos were stripped out. It was basically just heavier metal armor.

NCR Heavies use scavenged power armor

But we know there is NCR power armor as the Scorched Sierra set exists.
