📋 About This Mod
Description The Brotherhood of Steel have been known to lose some people. Sometimes to battles, but sometimes to ideology. Sometimes a brother decides to go his own way and make his own path. One such brother found his true calling along side the regulators. But never comfortable without his armor, he found a way to keep the second skin he felt so naked without. What this mods contains: An armored duster, made from the BoS recon armor and a regulators cowboy duster. Up close there is no disguising the nature of this armor, but at first glance it will pass as a duster. It has the stats of a duster but the DR and weight of recon armor (DR 28). Question: Isn\'t this the same model used in your Stealth Armor mod? Answer: Yeah, you got me :P Question: Whats the difference? Answer: This has no stealth and less stats. Plus its a little easier to acquire. Question: Where can I find the items? Answer: Regulator HQ Question: Don\'t you think 28 is too high DR for a duster? Answer: Yeah, but its not too high for recon armor. Look at it carefully, this is not just a coat. Its actually a larger and thicker version of the vanilla recon armor. Question: Can you do a version that looks just like the normal duster? Answer: With DR 28? No. Sorry. Related mods A black leather version of this mod: Dark Justice Duster. A stealth armor version of this can be found in Advanced Recon Stealth Armor. There is also a New Vegas version found here.

- If you're using other armor mods, load order might matter — place this one after major overhauls.
