What is this mod?
I wanted to remove the "TRON effect" from Grunt's alternate outfit. So I added more transparency to his holographic visor (you can pick between 20% - 80% more transparency).
I also removed some glowing parts from his armor and reduced the glow intensity by 25%
(but if you want to remove the visor completely, you should check out (ME2LE) No Headgear for Squadmates made by ThaliaGraces)

- Check the mod's page for any updates or compatibility notes before installing, since it hasn't been updated since 2021.
