How do you get the desert rangers outfit in fallout new Vegas

You can get the Desert Ranger Combat armor (and helmet) at the end of Stone Bones cave. Near a footlocker and a terminal. the cave is located just above the Sorrow tribes camp

IMPORTANT: you can only get this in the DLC- Honest Hearts.

ALTERNATIVE: If you don't have the DLC and don't have the money to buy it, the best alternative is the NCR Ranger combat armor which is nearly identical but not quite as awesome and is the armor the NCR Veteran Rangers use (the guy on the cover is a Veteran Ranger). However the NCR Ranger Combat armor is a faction armor so your reputation with all the factions will be set to neutral when you wear it (it will change back when you unequip it). Your best bet to get this armor is to snipe the Ghoul Veteran Ranger which you can find in ranger Station Echo just above Cottonwood Cove as he is the easiest one to kill without losing rep with NCR and he usually also drops the Ranger Sequoia which is one of the best hand hold weapons in the game.

The best way to kill him is by sniping him with a Sniper Rifle, Anti-Materiel Rifle or Gauss Rifle since those are practically the only ones that can kill him in one shoot (go for a headshoot). just remember to do it whilst it is dark, stay hidden and do it from long range. there might be better ways to get this armor so you might wanna check on youtube lots of good videos there that can help you.

just remembered that you can also get it from the NCR Ranger safehouse if your level is high enough (around 18) you get the key to the safehouse if you are liked or idolized by the NCR when you are go talk to Colonel Hsu at Fort MCarran and he'll give you the key and its location

ALSO IMPORTANT: The NCR Veteran Rangers does not spawn before you are around level 14-16..
