📋 About This Mod

This mod will add SIX new armors and TWO new helmets for Male Shepard.  Each armor/helm is added immediately to the locker.  The armors are added to the Torso slot in the armor locker.

For the initial release, I have only added the Talon/Mercenary armor found in the Omega DLC that some NPCs can wear, and decided to give it to Male Shepard after giving it to Zaeed and Kaidan in their armory mods :)  Future updates might add other armor edits/recolors.

There are Six color variants of the armor:

  • []N7 - Regular Stripe and Inverted Stripe

    []Spectre

    []Alliance

    []Stealth (Zaeed's colors)

    []Biotic (Kaidan's colors)

And two color variants for the helmet:

  • []Black

    UPDATE 1. 1

    Adds five new armors and four new helmets for Male Shepard. These are recolors and retextures of various full body sets from LE2/3 to bring them in-line with an N7 theme (and to fit more with my personal Shepard)

    • []N7 Terminus: Adds a N7 logo + Stripe

      []N7 Blood Dragon: Adds a N7 stripe and darkens the armor

      []Darker Blood Dragon: Darkens the armor, no new stripe

      []N7 Inferno: Adds a N7 logo + stripe

      []Red and Black Reckoner Knight: Recolors the armor to be Red and Black/Gunmetal

    Each set has a matching helmet retextured to fit the set. Please note that the Blood Dragon helmet will have a gap with ANY ARMOR SET that isn't the Blood Dragon set.  Other helmets can be used with other armors, but with some/minimal clipping.

    UPDATE 1. 2

    Adds one new armor with five color variants and two helmets for Male Shepard.  This is a refit of Ashley Williams's From Ashes armor in ME3 to fit it for male bodies. The two helmets are black and blue.  The armor colors are the following:

    • []N7

      []Alliance

      []Spectre

      []Stealth (Black/No logo)

    • Blue (Ashley's vanilla texture from ME3)

      UPDATE 1. 3

      I have decided to overhaul the "Infiltrator" armor textures with new black, white, and full color textures.  There are multiple new helmet textures to match the new armors.

      All armors may now be optionally purchased from a store (Gateway Defense) if you use Store Interface on Normandy (LE2).  They are bundled together with their matching helmets, so some armors (such as multiple of the Stealth and Infiltrator armors, for example) will have larger bundles since there is only one helmet that matches with multiple sets.  Please remember that the armors are only on the Normandy interface version of the store, not the actual physical store.

      Optionally, if you use LE2 Improved Functionality, there is an option on installation to match helmets to the armors in environments that require the use of a breather to prevent mismatches/auto equipping of other breather helms.
