📋 About This Mod

About the "Dicky's Choice" Optional File

I added two additional Enclave NPC enemies - both are higher level enemies in the X03 Hellfire Armor and X02 Tesla Armor, hence additionally require those mods.

The NCR mod is for a new gas mask - it looked way better than the other fits so I'm making that another requirement. Hence this optional file is a bit heavy on requirements but hoping that most people already have these mods in their load order.

Hellfire troopers appear around level 20 along in areas where Gunners should be and will attack you with a double-damage wounding flamer (heavy incinerator-ish weapon). They are pretty tough and are probably best killed with missiles and explosives.

"Tesla Eagles" appear around level 30 and attack you with Tesla Gatlings, a Gatling Laser-look alike that shoots arcs of staggering electric bolts and deal heavy energy damage. Inspired by the Enclave National Broadcast's mentioning of such troops in the newly revived Enclave forces (link below if you wanna download it).

Around level 82 or so, Enclave "Spec Ops" troops dressed in full Marine Assault gear should spawn - they'll carry usual Gunner weapons (most likely Plasma at this point) and use Stealth Boys often. Based on the already existing vanilla AI logic for Gunners, but they're meant to be a bit tougher than usual foot soldiers.

Also, all Enclave troops upon death will now drop a weightless, un-scrappable Enclave holotag, much like the BoS. They all also drop a tri-folded American flag because Merica!

This edition generally makes all "Gunner-clave" forces stronger and nastier. Combined with some of the Recommended mods below, you will constantly find yourself fighting Enclave, who will be a challenge in the 20-40 level range with the two new PA NPC units. I'm only listing it as optional for now since I'm still play testing it and I'm wondering how well it scales / balances with other people's games.

I originally gave the Hellfire trooper's incinerator actual fire damage, and the Tesla Eagles weapon actual electric damage, but it seemed OP against players without any elemental armor protection mods so I settled on wounding flamer and heavy stagger tesla gatling. Let me know your thoughts on this for guys who try it out.

TL;DR - Crazier, harder Enclave, try it if you want a challenge. Do a full cell reset by sleeping and areas where Gunners were should now be Enclave guys. Best on a new game as all Gunner instances will be sure to be replaced with Enclave, but mid-game install is ok.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid community traction with 163 endorsements and over 13k downloads
  • Lightweight approach—no new meshes, just re-skins, so performance impact is minimal
  • Bonus Eden preset is a nice touch for role-players who want the Enclave president's face

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2019, so it may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC
  • Depends on other armor/clothing mods for the re-skins, so you'll need to track those down separately
  • Only affects Gunners—if you wanted Enclave NPCs elsewhere, this won't cover that
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 4 players who want to give the Gunners an Enclave makeover without a heavy overhaul. Also for fans of John Henry Eden who want his face in their game via LooksMenu. Skip if you're looking for new Enclave quests or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have LooksMenu installed and enabled before using the Eden preset, or it won't show up in character creation.
  • Since this mod re-skins Gunners using other armor mods, check the mod's posts or comments for a list of required armor mods—the description doesn't list them explicitly.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle load order and avoid conflicts with other Gunner-related mods.
