📋 About This Mod
Heavily inspired by ME3 N7 Armour for LE1 by Audemus and Mellin, and Mistyvail's ME2 N7 Armour for LE1.
This modifies the Onix Heavy, so I'd recommend using Iconic Fashion Party and selecting Shepard Heavy. That way Shepard will always appear in this armor.
Update
Updated for consitency and better reflections. They should line up very well with the ME2 default tinting.
Installation
Install through the ME3Tweaks Mod Manager by:
-
[]using Mod Manager Download, or
[
]downloading the zipfile and dragging it into the Mod Manager - click Import Mod and then select and Apply Mod
Compatibility
I think in theory the compatiblity patches made to work with the mod by Audemus should work with this. In praxis, tho I have no idea.
Credits
Thanks to Audemus and Mellin for the original mod.
Also bigger thanks to them and the rest of the Modding Discord for providing vital help.
