Some Power Armor pins on the map are close to one another, making them appear as a single pin. Zoom in on the map to see which icons are grouped together.

The Remnants Power Armor and Power Helmet are the best Power Armor set in Fallout New Vegas. It has the highest Damage Threshold (DT) of all Power Armor, meaning that it can reduce the most damage from attacks.
It also increases your Strength by 1, with a +20 resistance to radiation, but lowers your Charisma by 1, probably because of how menacing the armor looks!

| DT | Health | Weight | Effects |
| 29 | 2100 | 44 | STR +1, CHR +1, Rad. Res. +33 |
The T-51b Power Armor has a lower Damage Threshold than the Remnants Power Armor but has higher Health and Radiation Resistance, and it doesn't deduct points from any attribute, making it one of the best Power Armors in the game.
Its other variant, the Brotherhood T-51b Power Armor, will disguise you as a member of the Brotherhood, making the NCR hostile towards you.

|---|---|---|---|
| DT | Health | Weight | Effects |
| 25 | 1075 | 45 | No Power Armor Training Required, AGL -2 |
The fact that you can equip the NCR Salvage Power Armor set even without the Power Armor Training perk makes it a good choice in the early game, even if it has lesser DT than the Remnants Power Armor, and 2 points deducted to the Agility attribute when worn.
The whole point of the Power Armor is to be big, bulky, and more durable, so having the Agility attribute deducted should be a fair trade for an extra layer of protection, though it also reduces the AP used during V.A.T.S.
Finishing either Eyesight to the Blind or Tend to Your Business will cause either Elder McNamara or Elder Hardin, whoever you chose to become elder during the Still in the Dark quest, to teach you the Power Armor Training perk.
