📋 About This Mod
Ever wanted to use the N7 Defender armor but were not enthusiastic with the stats? This mod may be for you!
This mod is a companion to my N7 Defender Armor Parts (LE3) mod.
Provides seven additional sets of the N7 Defender Armor with the following stat collections:
N7-G Defender Armor
The generic set offers: +20% to weapon damage, power damage, power recharge speed, shields and shield regen speed.
N7-P Defender Armor
The powers set offers: +30% to power damage and power recharge speed. +20% to shields and shield regen speed.
N7-W Defender Armor
The weapons set offers: +30% to weapon damage. +20% to headshot damage, ammo capacity and shields. +10% to shield regen speed.
N7-M Defender Armor
Simply changes the helmet to the default breather helmet. Uses the default stats for the armor.
N7-G2 Defender Armor
For those willing to pass on the shield regen bonus.
The second general purpose set offers: +30% power damage, power recharge speed and weapon damage; +10% shield strength.
N7-P2 Defender Armor
For those willing to pass on the shield regen bonus for stronger power performance.
The second powers set offers: +40% power damage and power recharge speed; +20% shield strength.
N7-W2 Defender Armor
For those willing to pass on ammo capacity and the shield regen bonus for stronger weapons performance.
The second weapons set offers: +50% weapon damage; +25% headshot damage and shield strength.
This mod does not replace or remove the existing N7 Defender Armor.
The armor sets 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.
This mod changes the helmet from the normal N7 Helmet to the N7 Breather Helmet. If you wish to 'hide' the helmet, EGM provides a feature that allows players to toggle the visibility of helmets.
For players who would prefer to use armor pieces check out: N7 Defender Armor Parts (LE3).
Installation
The sets may be installed individually or all of them 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.
