📋 About This Mod

This mod will add a selection of Kaidan Alenko's Mass Effect 3 armors for Male Shepard to use in LE2.

The following armor choices are:

  • []Kaidan's default blue

    []Kaidan's default grey

    []4 N7 variations by Eleonora0

    []1 Cerberus themed recolor of Kaidan's default grey armor

    []Kaidan's Default Ajax

    []N7 Ajax

    []Spectre Ajax

    The following helmet choices are:

    • []Kaidan's blue

      []Kaidan's grey

      []Kaidan's grey recolored to be Cerberus themed

      []Kaidan's blue helmet recolored to be black

      []Kaidan's Ajax

      Therefore, a total of ten armors have been added.  Each will have different bonuses.   Five helmets will be added, each with a health bonus.

      1. 1 UPDATE: ESA INTEGRATION!

      With ESA installed, my armors will now be available in three different ways:

      • []Cerberus Armor + Helmet, Ajax, N7 Ajax, and Ajax Helmet can now be researched.

        []Blue, Grey, All Four N7 sets, and their helmets can now be purchased at Rodam Expeditions

      • Spectre Ajax will be granted to you if you obtained the Spectre role again.

      Obviously, this requires Expanded Shepard's Armory to be installed, else the armors will appear as normal in the locker.

      Since this mod adds these armors as TORSO options, a mod like WiredTexan's Emperor's Clothes (LE2) - Invisible Armor Parts or Expanded Shepard's Armory is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED in order to use other armor parts without clipping.

      COMPATIBILITY:

      Integration with ESA is now available!

      New Armors for Femshep LE2 is currently incompatible while using the non ESA integrated option.  Not something at this time I can fix, so ONLY use mods for your Shepard's gender, and don't mix and match to prevent issues like these from popping up.

      REQUIREMENTS:

      Expanded Shepard's Armory for store + research integration.

      INSTALLATION:

      Install with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager.  You may download the mod through the mod manager option or manually drag the file onto the mod manager after downloading.  Choose the IMPORT option when prompted.  I DO NOT support manual installation.

      UNINSTALLATION:

      Simply either choose the disable or delete option in the Manage Target tab.  Delete removes it from the game installation completely, while disable keeps the mod installed, but unable to be read by the game.

      KNOWN ISSUES:

      This mod adds armors for MALE SHEPARD.  I highly recommend disabling/uninstalling this mod when on a femshep save file, or else you will have a lot of blank torso and helmet entries.

      What about Femshep?

      New Armors for Femshep has you covered.

      Why did you name them 'Prototype' armors

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod adds several of Kaidan's Mass Effect 3 armors as torso options for Male Shepard in Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition, with multiple color choices. It includes N7 textures of Kaidan's default blue armor by Eleonora0. A niche cosmetic addition for players who want Shepard to wear Kaidan's gear.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 105 endorsements and over 2,200 downloads, so it's a solid choice for fans of Kaidan.
  • Gives Male Shepard a fresh look with multiple color options, perfect for players who want to mix up their armor.
  • Includes N7 textures, adding a nice touch for those who want a more customized appearance.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only adds torso armor, so you'll need to find matching pieces elsewhere for a full set.
  • Last updated in November 2023, so it might not be compatible with the latest LE2 patches or mods.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Mass Effect Legendary Edition players who want to give Male Shepard a bit of Kaidan's style, especially if you're a fan of Kaidan's armor design. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or full armor sets—this is purely cosmetic and limited to torso pieces.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you're playing Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition, not the original, as this mod is specifically for LE2.
  • Since it's a cosmetic mod, you can easily preview the armor in the loadout screen before committing to it.
  • If you're using other armor mods, check load order to avoid conflicts with torso slots.
