Best Unique Armor
Gannon Family Tesla Armor and Helmet
The Gannon Family Tesla Armor is easily the best unique armor in Fallout New Vegas. It has a total of 32 Damage Threshold, just 4 points less than the Remnants Power Armor.
It adds 10 points to the Energy Weapons skill, increasing the damage done by Energy Weapons, and it also increases Radiation Resistance by a total of 25 points from both the armor and the helmet.
It does, however, deduct a point from the Charisma attribute, like the Remnants Power Armor, as they shares a similar appearance. The Gannon Family Tesla Armor has additional coils that add visual effects to the armor.

Explorer's Gear
While it doesn't have the highest Damage Threshold, having only 8 DT, it does offer two points to both Guns and Melee Weapons skills, you also get to look like John Marston from Red Dead Redemption!

1st Recon Beret
The 1st Recon Beret is a piece of headwear that doesn't offer any kind of armor, but provides a +5 to critical chance, useful for getting those critical hits during combat. The beret also increases your Perception attribute by one point!

Benny's Suit
