So here it finally is, the metal armor for the Capital Wasteland the Fallout 4 NV project. It comes with 4 different underarmor options, two different helmets, scripted leveled list integration and an armor tier system.
Once the player reaches Level 15, the armor can be obtained from raiders all over the commonwealth and will spawn randomly on vendors. Alternatively, the (weakest) base version can also be crafted at Chemstations in the Utility section.
Depending on the players level, the armor spawns in different strength. However, it can also be upgraded to the next higher tiers at the workbench. There you can also switch the underarmors.
Besides the underarmors, there unfortunately isnt much available in terms of customization. Even though I have some ideas, am not completly sure if this is going to change any time soon to be honest, since I am just extremly busy at the moment.
If you have any complains with the balancing or the crafting requirenments, please let me know in the comment section. I havent played the game in a while, so they could be a bit too high/low.
Installation
Installation is pretty straight forward, just install it with the manager of your choice or drop all files into your data folder, load order doesnt matter.
