📋 About This Mod
The third entry in my "varied" series.
This mod adds a bunch of new faces for the gunners that randomly spawn throughout the commonwealth. Gunners had even less faces to draw from than the raiders. In fact, most of the original male gunner faces were clones themselves, so I felt they needed to be diversified a bit. So I've changed a few of the vanilla faces and added a bunch more so that the "goons in green" look a little more interesting. That's it. No changes to armor, weapons, or stats.
COMPATIBILITY
Since I didn't touch any stat, weapon, or armor records with this mod, it's just a cosmetic edit to make gunners a little more varied. So, any mods that add new armor or weapons, buff/nerf Gunners will be fully compatible. In some of the screenshots I'm using the fantastic AQS Caps and Masks by AlanSmithee, that adds new bandanas and hats.
Varied Gunner Mercenaries expands the face pool for the Gunner mercenaries in Fallout 4, giving them more visual variety. This cosmetic mod is for players who want to see less repetition among enemy NPCs. With 1,942 endorsements and 181,735 downloads, it's a popular choice for enhancing immersion.
