📋 About This Mod

This mod may be interesting to players who prefer aesthetics over stats, but still want the option of a stronger set of armor. To be clear this mod does not replace the existing armor in LE2, it adds copies with a set of standard stats allowing the player to choose armor pieces based on aesthetic preference.

The copy of the default N7 armor pieces are called N7 Aegis.

The copy of the default Kestrel pieces are called Kestrel Talon.

The names of the other individual pieces of armor are prefixed with 'N7'. Ex: Shield Harness' copy is called N7 Shield Harness.

The armor pieces are available as soon as you can get to an armor dispenser. This means the player will have access to all the pieces of armor before visiting the Illusive Man for the first time. Players still need to purchase the default armor pieces provided by the game as originally designed.

Stats are presented above flavor text in the armor description screen.

Stats for the pieces are as follows:

Chest:

Reduces the delay before shields start regenerating by 10%.

Increases health, shield strength, weapon damage and power damage by 5%.

Reduces the recharge time of your powers by 5%.

Shoulders:

Increases melee damage by 25%.

Increases health, shield strength, weapon damage and power damage by 5%.

Reduces the recharge time of your powers by 5%.

Arms:

Increases spare ammo capacity and headshot damage by 10%.

Increases health, shield strength, weapon damage and power damage by 5%.

Reduces the recharge time of your powers by 5%.

Legs:

Increases storm speed and spare heavy ammo capacity by 10%.

Increases health, shield strength, weapon damage and power damage by 5%.

Reduces the recharge time of your powers by 5%.

Helmets:

Reduces the delay before shields start regenerating by 10%.

Increases health, shield strength, weapon damage and power damage by 5%.

Reduces the recharge time of your powers by 5%.

The Kestrel Talon and N7 Capacitor helmets are flagged as breather helmets and won't be replaced by the default breather helmet when doing missions in hazardous environments. Some of the helmets retain their unique stat in addition to the above stats. This mod does not provide an invisible helmet with the above stats.
