📋 About This Mod
For those who really like lore friendly mods, I consider defalt's gunners textures as they should have always been in the game and one of the main reasons I start to play with LeveledList and the main difference with other alternatives is a direction on a lot of changes.
My goal was to give gunners not only amazing outfits but also stats on pair with that intimidating lore, after all they are the most prominent military-like organization in the commonwealth, so no more gunners with similar stats to raiders
my version will make them tougher and will make you have several considerations, should you fight?, should you pick up the outfit to sell it?, is it worth carrying all that equipment clearly marked by an organization that nobody wants to get involved in? should you run? maybe but hey, is up to you.
Summary of changes and main differences with other mods modifying gunner outfits
• Balance adjustment to every outfit, from weight, value, resistances to new effects.
• Special focus in weight and resistances, yes the outfits are heavy but also provide high defenses like if it were meant to be used by trained thugs ...
• 4 Tiers, based on player level 10 - 35 - 55 - 75 (thanks to the huge variety of outfits by defalt)
• Different special stats alternatives in accessories like glasses, facemask, combat masks
• All items show their capabilities correctly in the pip-boy ( no more guessing the carry weight of a backpack )
• Each item tagged by complex sorter
• ballistic weave attachment
• only chest armors and helmets have lining attachment
• Backpack are pretty rare and only drop by gunners boss
2026 Update: Implemented Tier 0. This fixes the issue where players at early levels could find dead Gunners and obtain a strong outfit for free.
In hardcore lists, encountering a Gunner at level -10 (due to the Combat Stalker mod) makes them extremely difficult to defeat.
I also adjusted the level thresholds for backpacks so they spawn earlier and include more variant options.
over 95 new leveldlist records to distribute all outfits and equipment.
Made in mind for Life in the Ruins wabbajack modlist and play along with That's Merc Life mod.
btw I dint pay attention to ranks because well, what a drag
