📋 About This Mod
This mod adds lootable Legendary battlecoat and power armor parts from Elder Maxson after he dies. Support for The Danse Dilemma (pka Face Maxson etc.) mod added.
Update: Added version to replace vanilla t60 power armor so it has the legendary parts and avoid duplicates (T60 parts from vanilla armor and legendary parts added to maxson's inventory). This version overrides T60 Elder Combination value from the T60's Armor parts entries, so if you have other mod that modifies T60 Power Armor check it with F04EDIT or ask me to make a patch.
Check pictures 4 and 5, those are pretty self explanatory.

Important Notes:
- For testing purposes you can download the alternative save from The Ultimate Faction Crossroads Save and go to see elder maxson on the prydwen, select him using the console and type "recycleactor", then "resetai". He should be automatically placed naked in front of you, if not after resetai type "placeatme" or "moveto player". To verify if the items were successfully equipped you can type "openactorcontainer 1" and see it for yourselves. Another mod you can use to check the Unique Armor items ID's is DavesMods - In Game ESP Explorer Maintenance.
- For installation during midgame, if you already met Elder Maxson you must open console and select him, then type "recycleactor", then "resetai". He should be automatically placed naked in front of you, if not after resetai type "placeatme" or "moveto player". Doing this his equipment should be updated with the ones added with this mod. To equip him with his new battlecoat select the clothes and pres "T".
- If you start a new game none of the above steps are necessary to make.
- If for some reason the Battlecoat does not have the legendary Unique Star alongside the item's name, open console, select maxson and type "recycleactor", "openactorcontainer 1" and check the battlecoat has the Unique Star symbol. Make this as soon as you encounter him. I know is not a bug, but sometimes the battlecoat loads up to his inventory just like the normal version. I don't know why it happens, but it happens. I thought it was important to bring this up to you guys.

This mod adds the following Items to Elder Maxson:
- Full set of T-60f power armor with Elder Rank paint and custom legendary effect adding +3 Strength when all parts are equipped.
- Elder Maxson Battlecoat with added CHR + 2, energy protection (+12), rads protection (+5) and custom legendary effect (Stoic's: Reduces damage from Synths by 15%*)
I also added an optional patch file for The Danse Dilemma (pka Face Maxson etc.) Install the main file first then the patch. Order should be:
- FaceMaxson.esp
