📋 About This Mod

This is a port of TPOl7uHKA's original Classic Fallout 2 Combat Armor (Remastered) found on NV Nexus.

Meshes are scratch made and textures come in 4k resolution.

I would HIGHLY suggest checking out the original in the link above, loads of extra customizable goodies!

All of my mods are strictly NO donations, if you'd like to donate check out the original author(s).

-What's featured in this mod?-

- Replaced Rivet City security uniform/helmet and Tenpenny Tower security uniform. I debated replacing the standard combat armor, talon company armor, anchorage armor, etc... but decided to keep it simple.

- Personally I use 'Born-again' combat armor and felt the O. G combat armor should stay the same. I also have a mod that completely alters talon company and Reilly's rangers armor so didn't feel the need to alter them. If it's requested, I can update this mod with more such as the backpack or other replacers.

- I've included the pip-boy icons and GO models for MAX immersion.

- The textures are a combination of TPOluHKA's and my own editing, I edited the "armor" textures featured here while the "body" are from the original mod. I also edited the mk1 combat helmet mesh so there's no visor, personal choice.

- Edited general stats such as duration, damage resistance, weight.

v1. 1 - Added an optional file to include the visor from the original mod. Cheers!

v1. 2 - With advice from TPLOl7uHKA I exported the textures properly that had been edited by me.

TPOl7uHKA - Created the original 'Classic Fallout 2 Combat Armor' and its remastered counter part.
