📋 About This Mod
~ WASTELAND OPPORTUNIST ARMOR ~ -------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION “A simple, yet stylish outfit composed of salvaged materials. It offers moderate protection, though the idea of wearing bright orange in the Wasteland seems questionable.”
The Wasteland Opportunist Armor is a lightweight armor and not suitable for open combat situations. Its purpose is to aid scavengers in their trade, and to keep the wearer alive long enough to reach cover if caught out in the open. The two main components of the outfit are the Body Armor and the Headgear. Each will be presented in detail below.
Body Armor The armor consists of a sleeveless jumpsuit, a padded vest, a number of small bags, a multitool, military issue boots and fingerless gloves covering the wrists. It weighs 8 lbs and has Armor Class 24. The various bags and pockets allows an increased +30 Carry Weight, and the included multitool aids the user's ability to +10 Repair and maintain equipment. Valued 300 caps at full condition.
Headgear The headgear consists of protective goggles and a short-range communication device with a built-in area scanner. It weighs 2 lbs and has Armor Class 2. The short-range scanner aids the user's +1 Perception, allowing them to pick up threats earlier and increasing their reaction time by +15 Action Points. Valued 100 caps at full condition.
LOCATION “Nearby, relatively speaking. On the cosmological scale, it's all nearby.”
The outfit, along with a few other goodies, has been distributed to three Supply Footlockers in the Capital Wasteland, which can be found at the following locations:
Springvale Elementary School The Supply Footlocker is located next to a dumpster on the North side of the building.
Big Town Junkyard The Supply Footlocker is half-buried in a pile of junk and debris.
Grayditch Diner The Supply Footlocker is hidden behind a bush next to the dumpster behind the diner.
REQUIREMENTS “Ah, the Codex. If it's in there, we have to abide it, if it's not, it's not important.”
A computer – preferably one that meets the minimum requirements for the game. A legal copy of Fallout 3, patched to the latest version – yes, really. Half a brain – a whole brain is recommended, but not necessary.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS “You don't have to like it, you just have to follow orders.”
