Fallout 4 Modders Recreate NCR Ranger Armor from S2 Trailer
Fallout 4 NCR Ranger Power Armor mod inspired by Fallout TV Show Season 2 trailer

The anticipation for Prime Video's Fallout show Season 2 is reaching a fever pitch, but dedicated modders have already brought a fan-favorite element from the upcoming series into Fallout 4. A highly detailed NCR Ranger Power Armour, glimpsed in the latest Season 2 trailer, has been swiftly recreated and released, demonstrating the incredible responsiveness of the Fallout 4 modding community.

Unveiling the "Ranger Power Armour" Mod

Just weeks ahead of the Fallout show's December 17th debut, modder PrincessAries, alongside their collaborators, has released the "Ranger Power Armour" mod. This impressive creation draws direct inspiration from the most recent Season 2 trailer, specifically a scene around the two-minute, ten-second mark, where the armor's wearer makes a dramatic, wild west-style entrance alongside the enigmatic Ghoul. The swift turnaround from trailer reveal to in-game mod showcases the community's keen eye and rapid development capabilities.

Specifications and Customization Beyond the Wasteland

While not a pixel-perfect clone, the mod's armour aims for authenticity. Its in-game statistics are designed to parallel the iconic T-51 power armour, reflecting its status as a bespoke set developed by the New California Republic. This distinguishes it from the scavenged T-45d Brotherhood sets occasionally seen on NCR soldiers in Fallout: New Vegas.

The mod truly shines in its extensive customization options, allowing players unparalleled control over their NCR Ranger aesthetic:

  • Base Paint Jobs: Choose from four distinct base paint schemes, including a striking red option that controversially allows for a Caesar's Legion-inspired look.
  • Tactical Accessories: Elevate your armor's appearance and gain potential stat buffs with a range of attachable items.
  • Visual Flair: Adorn your suit with cloaks, sturdy backpacks, functional bandoliers, and various helmet lenses.
  • Unique Details: Embrace the wasteland with characterful additions like brahmin skulls strapped to shoulders, an abundance of bullet casings draped across the frame for a "human ammo box" effect, and various hood styles for a rugged, post-apocalyptic vibe.

It is worth noting that the mod creators have identified a minor issue: cloaks, particularly the hooded variants, may occasionally experience clipping anomalies.

Acquisition and Prerequisites for Your Wasteland Patrol

To integrate this formidable NCR Ranger Power Armour into your Fallout 4 experience, specific requirements must be met. Players will need to own the Far Harbor DLC. Once the mod is installed, the armour can be acquired by embarking on a short quest initiated at a small shack situated north of the power station, just outside the ruined town of Natick.

The rapid emergence of such high-quality content based on unreleased material sets a thrilling precedent. The Fallout modding community's dedication suggests an even greater influx of creative content once Season 2 fully airs, potentially mirroring the explosion of mods that followed the first season's massive success.
