📋 About This Mod
You want to use N7 armor but it is weak compared to other armors? I have something for you! This file changes the properties of Onyx armor in LE1 to be nearly as strong as Colossus armor, which is the strongest Armor in the game. Strength of shield and damage protection are comparably the same through all armor tiers in Light, Medium, and Heavy type. Unfortunately, I was not able to copy tech/biotic resistance due to difficulty in finding the right numbers. However, you can make it up with the right armor mods in the game.
Installation:
1. Copy Engine.pcc into your game folder/Game/ME1/BioGame/CookedPCConsole
2. Confirm the changes.
3. Play! The changes should be noticeable at any moment of your playthrough.
Big thanks to the creators of Legendary Explorer to make it possible!!!! :)
