📋 About This Mod
Credit to KkJiro for porting the Andromeda armor meshes with his mod EGM Armors.
Thanks to munchyfly and Tajfun403 for helping me with the process for swapping out the armors.

Jacob's vanilla armor always seemed pretty lame to me given his supposed backstory as a battle-hardened veteran and captain. This mod changes that.
-Jacob's default armor is replaced with the medium AI armor from EGM armors.
-Jacob's loyalty armor is replaced with the N7 Pathfinder armor from EGM armors.
-Both armors feature custom Cerberus reskins and now use the Ajax helmet instead of the rebreather.
-New squad portraits are available as a .mem in a separate download.

To use these armor textures for Shepard see my mod Colors for EGM Armors
In the absence of my own Miranda mod, a misc download is available containing textures for her phantom armor provided by Miranda's Armory.
These more closely match the Cerberus colors for Jacob's new armors. Separate install instructions and preview image are included.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives Jacob a much-needed visual upgrade—his default gear is bland.
- Cerberus-themed reskins fit the lore and make him look more like an operative.
- Lightweight cosmetic mod with 81 endorsements and 2,140 downloads—community-tested.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Jacob—if you want to overhaul the whole squad, this won't do it.
- Requires the EGM armors mod as a base, so you need to install that first.
- Last updated in June 2023—might not be compatible with future LE2 patches, though no issues reported yet.
For Mass Effect Legendary Edition players who want to give Jacob a fresh, lore-friendly look without touching gameplay. Perfect if you're already using the EGM armors mod and want consistency. Skip if you're not a Jacob fan or prefer vanilla aesthetics.
