📋 About This Mod
This mod not only gives radiation suits a greater rad resistance, it also makes that value dependent on the condition of the suit. Just like you would expect, if
the suit was torn to shreds it would be useless, but if it was brand new it
Realistic Radiation Suits FO3 is a small Fallout 3 armor mod that increases radiation resistance of radiation suits and makes it scale with the suit's condition. With 266 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated tweak for players wanting more realistic survival mechanics.
