📋 About This Mod

General, the new equipment has arrived! Turn your Minutemen into ODST, changing their appearance and weaponry.

What this mod does:

- It changes the Minutemen to ODST(Appearance, weapons and names), giving you 3 color options to choose from

- The Minutemen flag was changed to an UNSC flag

- A terminal, letter and 4 voiced holotapes to get at least some sense into why the Minutemen look like ODST and why some people call your ODST Minutemen

- The holotapes can be found following the Minutemen questline from the beginning. They are not really hidden, you should easily find them if you are not rushing through too harshly.

- More things to be added soon!
