📋 About This Mod
I tweaked the Protectron's EVs and normalmaps to make it look more metallic in appearance.
The Protectron is one of the most common robotic npc's in Fallout 3, so it deserves a nice makeover. My previous mod Mr Handy and Mr Gutsy actually look metallic did the same thing, but here it's much more noticeable. In fact, the change is drastic in comparison.
RECOMMENDED COMPANION MODS:
Fallout Texture Overhaul - Robots - Protectron
Deputies Weld and Steel get Badges and Hats
INSTALLATION:
My mod works with the game's standard textures, but you really want the texture overhaul, as mentioned above. Install it first and then install mine to overwrite.
My other mods in the series:
Mr Handy and Mr Gutsy actually look metallic
The Sentry bot actually looks metallic
The Robobrain actually looks metallic
Power armor actually looks metallic
