Desert Camo Ranger Coat

[braigus09]

Has anyone ever suggested this?

 

Not really a separate piece of armor but rather a desert-camo retexture of the ranger coat. Or maybe yet a Deathclaw Leather/hide-backed coat for the Ranger Combat Armor/Riot gear.

 

Just kinda irks me that the Desert Ranger armor doesn't have that feel. Or if you guys wanna go crazy, maybe throw in a Brahmin skull single pauldron as an accessory like the Tribal Power Armor from FO3.

it would probably go well with the desert ranger armor as that is supposed to be U.S. marine corp body armor.

 

Or maybe yet a Deathclaw Leather/hide-backed coat for the Ranger Combat Armor/Riot gear.

I did one for the bounty hunter duster and visually it fits in pretty well. Probably look good as a ranger duster, pic;

Yeah, seems like it would useful, although the ranger dusters do have a fairly neutral color that doesn't blend too badly with the desert. Maybe it has something to do with the "Black Armor" being "awe inspiring" (the wiki's words not mine) and keeping to some semblance of a recognized, elite uniform. But considering all the scouting and work they do behind enemy lines, they probably do have camo ranging from fatigues all the way to ghillie suits. I don't think the player gets to see too many ranger vets in black armor save for the final battle at Hoover........in a more natural environment the rangers probably make much more extensive use of camouflage.

Yeah I saw that texture, it was really well done. Similar to that but to a Ranger Coat.

 

And yes, that's what I thought so too since majority of Veteran Rangers were former Desert Rangers before the unification treaty. And their major expertise is reconnaissance, so would be paramount that they would use desert camo to blend in with the environment.

 

Aesthetically, the brown coats got old real quick on my side of preference. And I'm kinda mighty tired of seeing Courier dusters. So yeah if we could only have either Desert Camo or Deathclaw hide (which I would imagine would be kinda has some significant weight to it. Not to mention tough as kevlar, significant amount of DT) retex of the ranger coat, that would be great.

I can jot it down on my to do list, but it may be a while (lot of projects), if I get around to it. However if anyone else wants to fill this request it's fair game, I'm not staking a claim to it or anything.

In the mean time if you have any other ideas on the subject (deathclaw or camo) or if you can do some footwork to locate a suitable desert camo pic you'd like to use that would be useful.

Hmm... maybe like the desert camo design of the Batman Armor in Drags New Armor Pack or maybe the camo design on the Desert Ranger Armor chestpiece which was hardly noticeable.

 

Or maybe something like these:
