FR-24 Bastion replaces CPR-80 Bulwark

Description

I love the stats of the new armor, and will likely wear it from now until Helldivers 3. As such, I wanted to give it a certain flair that the default "battered tin can" look wasn't providing, in my humble opinion. The default is certainly a nice look, don't get me wrong, it's simply not my style.

The helmet consists of a modified, up-armored FS-23 Battle Master helm with a tactical light and a hardened uplink module. An optional LUT selection can cause the visor to glow!

The armor is based on the DS-42 Federation's Blade kit, with a few modifications to improve coverage, add extra munitions storage, include a tactical knife on the shoulder, and Look Cool™.

Disclaimer: This is the first mod I've authored, and I very much did not use best practices while exporting my files, so there's a solid chance that only enabling part of the mod will cause things to get a little messy under certain circumstances. My debug LUT paint scheme may still be packaged in with the armor replacer, for example. Whoops.

Will you port this armor to ?

Probably not. I know how to, but I'm not very good at it yet. If you want to extract the files and port it over yourself, though, you have my full permission to do so for personal use!

Will you add support for the Slim/Lean body type?

...probably not. In vanilla HD2 (that is, without something like the Better Female Armor mod), the differences between the body types are fairly minimal, and it'd be about 30% more work to add support for that.

As of v1. 6. 0, the mod now supports both Brawny and Lean body types! The Lean is a custom-meshed variation to provide slightly more curvature than vanilla Lean (without veering into the territory of Abdo-styled mods).

Where did the weapon LUT edits go?

The weapon LUT edits have been packaged together and made into their own separate mod. It can be found here!

Did anyone actually ask you these questions?

Uh. Well, no, but I figured people might be curious and I'm bad at responding to comments, so this is really more of a... "Potentially Asked Questions" section, I suppose?
