📋 About This Mod

I was inspired to complete this mod due to the release of RascalArt's Elite Power Armor Frame. I suggest you check that out as well!

Elite - Halo Power Armor Frame

| FAQ & Things to Know |

-This only affects base game raiders.

-The armor uses the hazmat suit ground object

-Their faces aren't animated/armor weighting looks a little funky.

I did the best I could do make it look good using the human animations, and think for the most part it works well. As for facial animations, I have no clue how to do that.

-They still use raider voices?

I made the decisions not to replace their voices, for a few reasons. If someone else comes along, and wants to do so, I will gladly post a link to your mod on this page, much as I did with the Brute Invasion mod.

-I can't loot their armor?

This is by design, for a few reasons:

1. The armor set changes the scale of whoever equips it

2. The armor set changes the name of whoever equips it

3. If the armor is removed, the raiders revert to humans

There is a free craftable version of each armor set at the chem station, with none of the listed effects, and are safe for the player and other npc's to use

-I'm seeing a lot of vanilla raiders

If you're pretty far into a playthrough, this will probably happen. NPC's already loaded into the world will not have their inventories changed when you add a mod such as this. You can use the "Recycleactor" console command, or start a new game. I've heard that waiting/sleeping for 30 days in game will reset inventory, but I'm unsure on that one.

-The weapons aren't working right on my character. What gives?

I'm only leaving the weapons useable by the player at the request of a few beta testers, so use them at your own risk.

-The textures are low quality.

I know. Probably not going to do anything about it, I may attempt an upscale at a later date.

-Can I use this with Raider mod?

This mod does not edit any vanilla forms except for the raider outfits, and the one for raider grenades. I used custom levelled lists for everything else, so any mods that change weapons/ armor through levelled lists will not have an affect, unless they directly edit the inventory of the individual units. I made this choice because I wanted ALL of the raiders to spawn with the new weapons and armor, 100% of the time (though, it's always possible that some slipped through the cracks, so don't hold me to that.)

-I made their armor have pretty high resistance, and their weapons do pretty decent damage compared to vanilla values. Depending on your load order, they will either be reasonably difficult, or laughabl
