📋 About This Mod
Each Piece of armor costs 100 caps and you can also purchase a random tool from the terminal for 20 caps.
You still need an empty frame for the armor which can be acquired from the wild or purchased from one of the vendors that sell it.
Stat wise the armor is equal to T-51 as it is what this armor is. the armor uses any and all modifications you know for the T-51 and should be fully compatible with any power armor upgrades added via mods or Creation Club. The armor also has its own unique Settler Paint that can only be applied to it but you can also apply and T-51 paints to this one while still retaining the accessories.
The Weapon Paints fro the 10mm and Assault Rifle use the system added via Creation Club and should not conflict with any changes being made to these two weapons via mods.
The Assaultron Blade has new keywords added to it to allow for material swaps and may conflict with mods that edit the weapon.
Tools Used:
3DS Max
