📋 About This Mod
- DC Guards are buffed with health and will now level with the player up to 80.
- Higher luck value as it is my way to pretend they have a moral boost of protecting Diamond City and their walls!
"Broke Up With My Girl Last Night. She Kept The Cap Off The Toothpaste. You Know Who Does That? A Synth!" - Diamond City Guard
- DC Guards protect the bigger city in the Commonwealth so they will spawn with a bigger variety of weapons from ranged to melee.
- Weapons mods that add into LLI_DiamondCitySecurityEquipment will be used!
- They will use Baseball grenades because... its obvious!
"Now a Swatter, that's a real weapon. Talk to Moe Cronin - he'll fix you up." - Diamond City Guard
ARMOR AND ACCESSORIES!
- Possibility to use Athletic Outfit or Baseball Uniform with bigger chances to the first.
- Give Ballistic Weave to Athletic Outfit and adjusted Baseball Uniform to similar protection as Athletic Outfit for consistency.
- Guards spawn with random variations of arms/shoulder DC Guard armor pieces (always use the Torso Pad to keep their unique look).
- They can use both open and close DC Helm, Blue Batting Helmet, Baseball Cap or other hats fitting the theme.
- Multiple glasses and eye accessories because they are the cool kids from the block!
- Sullivan have also these edits applied but he doesn't use helmets or eye gear just like in the vanilla (immeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrsssiiion!).
"Yeah, it's true. I got shot in the a** last year. Long story." - Diamond City Guard
