📋 About This Mod
FOR THE GREATER GOOD
This mod adds craftable fire warrior armour, PA and weapons to Fallout 4:
Tau armour (body and underarmour slot)
Tau head (head and hair slot)
Tau visor (headband slot)
Tau Pulse rifle (Semi auto, uses plasma ammo)
Tau Pulse Driver (Single shot, explosive, uses mini-nukes)
Tau Heavy Rail Rifle (single shot, high damage, uses fusion cores)
Armour, PA, pulse rifle and rail rifle available in T'au, Farsight Enclave and Vior'la colours.
All craftable at the Chem bench under 'Tau Armoury' and 'XV88 Armoury'
XV88 Broadside Battlesuit PA -
Craftable legs, arms, torso and hardpoint connection (instead of helmet), all with the usual PA mods.
Torso comes with several attachments - Jetpack, dual heavy rail rifles (shoulder mounted), shoulder missile pod, storage packs and stealth drone (stealth boy effect when crouched)
Arms can equip missile pods - NOTE: Attach the 'Missile Pods' mod to the LEFT ARM.
Also craftable under the 'XV88 Armoury' are weapons for the arm missile pods and the 'XV88 Weapon System' which can be modded to represent either the hardpoint plasma rifles, dual rail rifles or shoulder missile pods.
Also note: This mod retextures the power armour frame to better match the armour.
Also also note: There will be clipping i'm afraid. and yes i'm aware some of the mods (especially on the weapons) are a bit messy. Please be patient, i'm new to this!
I would highly recommend getting the Gorgeous Glowing Plasma Weapons mod and selecting the blue option from the installer for that true Tau weapon feel:
