📋 About This Mod
Gas masks are a staple in any post-apocalypse franchise, and finally with Fallout 4 we got to see a few in-game. Unfortunately, they can at times appear pretty low quality especially with modded armors. This mod will replace the most common gas mask (gas mask with goggles) with a german M38 gas mask at a higher quality level. Functions the same as vanilla with all the appropriate stats and armor combos, simply replaces the mesh. Multiple options to choose from from OD green to standard vanilla grey.
Install with a mod manager such as Mod Organizer 2 and activate. Alternatively, drag and drop the files in your 'Data' folder and activate with the mod manager of your choice if required.
