📋 About This Mod
What is this and What does it do?
I liked the NCR Ranger Combat Armor ("black armor") from New Vegas and I wanted to create my own version with my own twist on the design. Thus the NCR Desert Raven Armor was born.
Notes:
-
[]The NCR Desert Raven Armor comes in 3 parts, the Armor itself, a helmet and a set of gloves all able to be crafted at the Chem Bench under NCR Desert Raven
[
]Both the Helmet and the Armor provide energy resistance, physical resistance and radiation resistance.[]ALL parts of the outfit are available to BOTH genders.
[]The Armor uses ONLY slot 33 (Body slot), that means that both Underarmor and Armor items can be worn with it.
[]The Helmet uses slots 30, 31, 32, 46, 47, 48, 49 (aka Hair Top, Hair Long, Face Gen Head, Headband, Eyes, Beard and mouth slots)
[]The Gloves use slots 34,35 (Left and right hand slots)
[]The Duster does have cloth physics but it will sometimes clip into the floor in certain poses
[]Also the lower part of the Duster is flared out (for dramatic effect, it looks cool that way) however due to that when sitting in chairs/on benches the bottom of the Duster can look a bit poofy like a hoop skirt. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[]Bodyslide files are available as an optional (manual) download. Readme instructions are included. Female version included in Main File is a about halfway between Vanilla and CBBE (person preference as I found the full CBBE shape far too thin looking for this particular armor set.)
-
[]Both the helmet and the armor are able to be upgraded using ballistic weave and legendary effect mods (provided you have a mod that allows you to add legendary mods to other items).
Helmet Vision Upgrades:
The helmet has 5 different optional "vision" upgrades that are activated by sneaking:
These modes are:
-
[]+Night Vision - Similar to Vanilla Night Vision except that it does not have that annoying radial blur effect around the screen edges and it does have a "detect Hostile" mode built in that highlights enemies (note this effect works based on line of sight, it does not highlight enemies through obstacles.)
-
[]+Thermal Vision - a lightly red tinted vision mode that boosts color contrast and boasts a "detect life" mode built in that highlights ALL living things including turrets and robots and the highlights are visible through obstacles.
[
]+Life Detect - Highlights all living things including robots and turrets (same effect as Thermal but without t
