📋 About This Mod

Important Note:

This armor set is for Vanilla only, not the remastered version of HZD.  If/when tools become available I will port it over.

A Nora themed version of the ShieldWeaver armor found in the bunker.  This set features a blend of items from the default ShieldWeaver set Aloy normally wears mixed with the version on display in the bunker with some Nora flare added for style.  This is just a visual replacement so to use it you would need to obtain the regular armor via the questline or through other mods.

  • []Inventory images have been updated to reflect the new look of this set.

    []To prevent hair clipping use my hair mod, The Roll.

    []Shield graphics and light emitters are full functional.

    []Optional version without the hunter's kit on the back.

    To install drop the Patch_Nora_Shieldweaver.bin file in your Packed_DX12 folder.
