SUPER EARTH TACTICAL OPERATIONS (SETO) Discord
The SETO Marine Force Recon replaces the DP-40 Hero of the Federation armor and DP-11 Champion of the People.
This mod includes six three colorways:
- Desert Digital
- Made backpack smaller to integrate better with in-game backpacks (armor backpack will be fully covered up)
- Removed B+ blood patches on backpack, plate carrier, and helmet because we all have different blood types and it looked bad with other helmet mods that include blood patches
- Fixed weights on belt, and plate carrier items to not stretch with the body of the character
- Did a little bit of weight work with the hands to get them to look slightly better, but they are not perfect and probably will never be
- Fixed a clipping issue on the right wrist where the skin would poke through the glove while ADS with a pistol
- Added an all-in-one version of the mod for those that use the mod manager
- Added three new colorways (MARPAT, Desert Digital, and ACE's custom Hex camo)
- Added a holster
- Fixed various weight issues on gloves, watch, shoulders, armpits, and plate carrier
- Other texture updates
- New Super Earth flag on plate carrier
- Various texture changes
- Added a second variant that replaces the DP-11 Champion of the People Armor + Helmet since most of that armor was replaced by this anyways. This DP-11 version has no goggles and a slightly different plate carrier setup.
- Adjusted holster position
- Moved neck & helmet to be compatible with the SETO Operators armors and helmets. The goal is to eventually have most of my mods helmets interchangeable across the sets.
- Fixed holster position (again)
Huge shout out to Ace for his help doing all of these fixes!
- Fixed compatibility with 3/18 game patch
- Changed name from SETO Expeditionary Force Marine to SETO Marine Force Recon
- Moved Garmin watch to under the left wrist
- Fixed some broken seams between chest and arms
- Gave DP-11 clear goggles
- Changed plate carrier setup on DP-11
- Fixed compatibility with 5/13 game update
- Made compatible with 7/15 game update
- Did some weight fixes
- Adjusted normal maps to face outw

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing (165 endorsements) shows it's a trusted cosmetic swap
- Four colorways give you options to match your style
- Simple visual replacement—no gameplay changes to worry about
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects two specific armors, so if you don't use them, it's useless
- No compatibility notes—might clash with other armor mods that touch the same slots
- Last updated May 2026, so it's been a while—could be outdated for newer game patches
