📋 About This Mod

Do you miss the days when the Brotherhood used all the power armor they could get their hands on?

Did you feel like it was too easy to get T-60 power armor in the Brotherhood questline?

Do you think it's strange that the Brotherhood was able to re-equip their entire force with T-60 Power Armor?

Well, I have this like, mod thing you should look at maybe. I don't know.

This mod equips all Brotherhood Knights with ranked power armor and appropriate rank insignia:

Knight
T-45d
Knight-Sergeant
T-45d
Knight-Captain
T-51b
Knight-Commander
T-51d
Paladin
T-60d
Elder
X-01 mk. VI

The player will also unlock these new ranked paint jobs after finishing the following quests in the Brotherhood of Steel Questline:

Initiate Paint: Call to Arms Knight Sergeant Paint: Show No Mercy Knight Captain Paint: From Within Knight Commander Paint: SPOILER ALERT Liberty Reprimed

The intention of this mod was to make the ranks of BoS soldiers more immediately visible, and to increase the variety of power armor found in the wasteland while simultaneously making the T-60 armor rarer and more special. Now when you first join the Brotherhood you are given a suit of T-45 and you are only given T-60 once you are made Paladin.

THIS MOD WILL WORK BEST WITH A NEW SAVE, BUT IF YOU WANT TO USE AN EXISTING SAVE YOU CAN MAKE A PREVIOUSLY SPAWNED BOS SOLDIER SWITCH THEIR ARMOR WITH THE FOLLOWING STEPS: 1: select the actor by clicking on them when the console is open 2: type "recycleactor" in the console without quotes and press enter 3: type "resurrect" in the console without quotes and press enter

This mod changes a metric fuckload of leveled lists and stuff, so it will probably conflict with any mod that changes the Brotherhood troops at all, or the armor that they use.
