📋 About This Mod
Four collections of armor pieces using Ashley William's and James Vega's Armor.
Helmet and torso pieces only. Requires a mod such as my Empress' Clothes (LE3) to provide invisible armor pieces for the shoulders, arms and legs. IVAP for LE3 or EGM Armors for LE3 will also provide invisible armor pieces.
I've listed my Headgear Collection (LE3) as a requirement though this mod will work without it. The headgear collection provides visors and breather masks players will most likely want to use with the armor pieces. I separated out the visors and masks from this mod to reduce duplicate headgear pieces.
Interesting note, Kaidan's helmets match Vega's armor. Available in my Kaidan and Liara Armor Collection (LE3).
Each collection provides four sets of stats to choose from:
Power (P)
Helm: +10% to power damage, power recharge speed, and shields
Torso: +10% to power damage, power recharge speed, and shields
Weapon (W)
Helm: +10% to weapon damage, headshot damage, and shields
Torso: +10% to weapon damage, headshot damage, and shields
Shields and Health (SH)
Helm: +10% to health, shields, and shield regen speed
Torso: +10% to health, shields, and shield regen speed
Overpowered (OP)
Helm: +10% to all stats
Torso: +10% to all stats
The armor pieces are available as soon as you have access to the Normandy's armory and as early as the Mars mission if you are using EGM.
All of the helmets are flagged as breathers. If you want to equip the helmets for their stats but hide them, EGM provides a helmet toggle feature.
Helmets from my Buffed Armory (LE3) mod complement this mod.
Installation
The player may install individual sets or all four at once.
Use ME3Tweaks Mod Manager to install. Drag and drop the zip file to the manager and install (or import, then 'Apply Mod'). Importing mods has a couple of benefits including the ability to update mods directly from the Mod Manager.
Uninstallation
In ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, tap the "Manage Target" button on the upper right. Make sure the edition of the game you are targeting is selected in the drop-down list positioned on top of the tabs. Select this mod and tap disable or delete as appropriate.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's file structure to see if it uses PAK files or loose files — if PAK, just drop into the game's Content/Paks folder.
- If you're using other armor mods, test for conflicts by equipping the armor in-game after installation.
- Make sure you're running the Legendary Edition, not the original ME3, as this mod is tagged LE3.
