The Courser Recall Collar is an abandoned Institute project designed to provide instant maintenance to Institute Coursers while out in the wastes. Deemed excessively resource intensive compared to simply building new coursers the project was left to collect dust, with only a few working prototype collars ever being produced. Upon entering the Institute the Sole Survivor can find the remaining prototypes in the Synth Retention Bureau Armory, and even improve and customize the device's mechanics.
Proper explanation:
This mod adds a new Institute themed collar item to the game for the guinea pig Sole Survivor to use on their wasteland adventures. If you've familiar with Weaver in Dota 2, or Tracer from Overwatch you'll understand it pretty quick. The core mechanic is a personal time-warp that rewinds position, health, and even limb damage, several seconds backwards in time at the press of a button.
The mechanics of the time-warp can be customized with an armor bench, allowing you to change the cooldown, ammo cost, and the rate at which it records data. By default the device has a 45 second cooldown, costs 70 Fusion Cells, and rewinds about 4. 5 seconds. The default explosion deals no damage, however with upgrades it can deal reasonable energy damage or even set off a mini-nuke.
Equipping the device will add another armor item to your inventory with the tag, hotkey this trigger item and use it to manually activate the device.
The device was not originally intended for use with Power Armor, however there is an alternate version of the device which can be worn and activated while wearing power armor. This version uses the slot (since thats one of the few normal slots that be adjusted while in PA) and uses a consumable {trigger} item that shows up in the AID section of the inventory. Mods between the two versions can be inter-changed.
Bodyslide files are included for the female version. Bodyslide is completely optional, the mod comes with prebuilt meshes for males and females.
Usage notes:
-Extreme fall damage can possibly kill you before the warp is able to fire, even if you press the button before hitting the ground. There is a
built-in fall damage contingency to the device but it's better to pull the trigger early than to rely on it.
-Technically the device allows you to get backwards through areas you are supposed to be cut-off from. Always keep regular saves, or be willing to use the TCL console command to get back through story-locked doors.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,794 endorsements and over 136k downloads—clearly a hit.
- Adds a unique gameplay mechanic (time-travel recall) that's both useful and lore-friendly.
- Fits the Institute aesthetic perfectly, so it blends well with the base game's look.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—might have compatibility issues with newer game patches or DLC.
- Requires you to be on the Institute's side or at least have access to their tech, which limits early-game use.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the base game and any DLC that adds Institute content, as the collar might rely on those assets.
- If you're using a mod manager, install via NMM or Vortex to keep track of files easily.
- Check the mod's comments section on Nexus for user reports on how to obtain the collar in-game, since the description is sparse.
