📋 About This Mod
Summary
The Armor of the Sten mod adds a really cool armor set for Sten to the game. However, because the item is a piece of clothing, it does not offer any armor bonus or fatigue penalties. This mod author did add an armor bonus, however without the fatigue penalty, it causes the armor to be overpowered.
I have added a fatigue penalty to the armor, and a set bonus with Heavy Chainmail boot and gloves. The armor has been moved to the mercenary outside of Lothering, who previously carried the Heavy Chainmail armor (meant for Sten).

[]Requires Armor of the Sten
Rebalances ChiZ' Armor of the Sten mod to give the armor proper stats and make it viable for endgame content. A quality-of-life patch for players who found the original armor underpowered, with 502 endorsements and last updated in 2014.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved (502 endorsements) and well-downloaded (8,353 downloads)
- Fixes a common issue: underpowered armor that becomes obsolete
- Simple, focused purpose—no bloat, just stat adjustments
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Armor of the Sten mod, so you need to install both
- Last updated in 2014, so it may not be compatible with newer game patches or other mods
- Only rebalances stats—no new visuals or gameplay changes
For players who love the look of Armor of the Sten but want it to stay relevant in late-game fights. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who hates swapping gear for stats, this is for you. Skip if you're fine with the original armor's balance or want more than stat tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you install the original Armor of the Sten mod first, then overwrite with this rebalance.
- Check your load order—this mod should load after the original to ensure the stats apply.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file overwrite to avoid conflicts.
