About this converter

GECK game data fixes base Damage Threshold for fifteen Fallout New Vegas armors. NCR trooper armor gives 10 DT, combat armor 15, NCR Ranger patrol armor 15, reinforced combat armor 17, reinforced mark 2 20, NCR Ranger combat armor 20, riot gear 20, NCR salvaged power armor 20, advanced riot gear 21, elite riot gear 22, Desert Ranger combat armor 22, T-45d power armor 22, T-51b power armor 25, Gannon Tesla armor 26 and Remnants power armor 28. Remnants at 28 tops obtainable armor. Trooper armor at 10 anchors the low end. DT subtracts straight from each hit before other effects.

How to use it

Pick two armors and the DT unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Remnants power armor against NCR trooper armor to feel the 18 DT gap. DT reads straight since only one unit exists.

Values are base DT from GECK records as mirrored by Fallout Wiki armor tables, without mods or perks. NCR salvaged power armor at 20 reflects its stripped servo penalty versus true T series suits. Gannon Tesla armor at 26 is a Remnants variant in the medium class. Metal and leather lines are omitted to keep fifteen comparable combat armors. DLC and unique variants beyond the listed riot tiers stay out.

FAQ
