✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement ratio (268 endorsements, 28k downloads) shows it's a trusted tweak.
- Gives Diamond City guards a much more intimidating look with the Riot Armor.
- Fixes the immersion-breaking pipe weapons by swapping in proper firearms.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in May 2021 — might not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.
- Only affects Diamond City guards, so it's a narrow scope mod.
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you test it.
For Fallout 4 players who want Diamond City guards to look and fight like a real police force instead of scavvers. If you're into lore-friendly visual overhauls and don't mind a small, focused change, this is for you. Skip if you want broader faction overhauls or are on the latest game version without compatibility checks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple replacer, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 makes uninstalling a breeze.
- If you're on the latest Fallout 4 version, test the mod early in your playthrough to ensure the guards' armor and weapons appear correctly.
- Pair this with a weapon rebalance mod to keep the new firearms balanced with your gameplay.
