The mod NCR Veteran Ranger - F4NV made by Toasty Fresh is superb, but it lacks the possibility to add Legendary effects and it cannot be created or changed on any workbench. Also, its status are very low for a late game character (60+). I decided to change that.

Changelog:
- Armor and Helmet can now be crafted on Chemical Workbench under the Utility tab. So no AWKCR.
- The armor and helmet have legendary slot which can be applied on Armor Workbench.
- The armor and helmet have all the basic linings which can be applied on Armor Workbench.
- The armor now provides 1+ Strength and Agility.
- The helmet now provides 1+ Perception and Endurance.

- The armor have the following protection status:

• 150 Armor Rating
• 100 Radiation Resistance
•  75 Energy Resistance
•  60 Poison and Fire Resistance
  

- The helmet have the following protection status:

• 45 Armor Rating
• 30 Radiation Resistance
• 30 Energy Resistance
• 20 Fire and Poison Resistance   
  

- Crafting perk requirements:

• Armor: Armorer 4, Blacksmithing 2
• Helmet: Armorer 3, Blacksmithing 3, Science 2
  

WHY MAKE IT SO STRONG? 
As I said, it is a late game gear. Have in mind that you cannot use any other armor part with this gear. No legs, no arms, no chest. Also remember you are not losing only protection, but 4 more legendary effects, because instead of having 5 pieces on your body, you will have only one. It is quite a trade off.


I'm providing you two versions of the mod.
       
        Version 1: No safe in Valentine's office anymore. You will have to craft it if you want it.
        Version 2: The safe is untouched with the gear inside it. Although I think is game breaking having access to such gear so early in game, everyone should follow your own mind.  :P


Attention if you already use the original mod in your game: Sometimes the changes I made will not apply, so follow the steps below.

• Uninstall both mods (this one and the original).
• Load the game.
• Save the game.
• Reinstall the original mod and my "fix" again.
• Load the last save (the one you saved with no mod installed).
• Have fun!
  

Riot version
If you want a Superb Riot Version of the armor, I recommend using the wonderful Boston Police Department Ranger Armor made by SixtyMinutemen. See the file session to learn how to use his version of the armor with my changes.

Desert Combat Version
If you want the Superb Desert Version from ThyLD, there is an optional file for that too.

Helmet enhancement
There is a Superb Helmet Enhancement Addon for NCR Veteran Ranger - F4NV called Ranger Helmet Enhanced made by JohnnyBlade. But be warned that all my changes for the helmet do not apply for his, which is a variation, not a replacement. But I recommend it anyway. So cool!

For those who uses Pip-pad instead of Pip-Boy with the original version of the armor
There is a mesh fix for the bracers made by TheBeastOfBurden, it is NCR Veteran Ranger - F4NV - Bracer Mesh Fix (1st and 3rd Person).

Retextures compatible out of the box with any of the main files
- Desert Ranger Combat Armor Retexture and Desert Ranger ReDeserted Combat Armor Retexture by sucks2chuck. 

Just another mod recommendation
Armor and Clothing Overhaul (ACO) is wonderful mod and won't disappoint you. If you want an alternative for AE with a light mod, give it a try. You won't regret.

Known Issue:
There is a bug in the Desert Combat Version from ThyLD, which I couldn't figure out why that happens, where the helmet from Desert Version has the same appearance as the original one when put on a companion, but it has the Desert appearance when on you. So be warmed of that.

THANKS Toasty Fresh FOR THE GREAT MOD!
