📋 About This Mod

Ever wanted to use the N7 Defender armor but were not enthusiastic with the stats? Wanted the lights on the helmet to match the male armor? Want to change to a different helmet or visor? This mod may be for you!

This mod is a companion to my N7 Defender Armor (LE3) mod.

Helmet and torso pieces only. Requires a mod such as my Empress' Clothes (LE3) or IVAP for LE3 to provide invisible armor pieces for the shoulders, arms and legs.

Provides five pair of N7 Defender Armor torso and helmet pieces:

The helmet used is the N7 Breather Helmet and as such is customizable. The N7 Defender Armor torso is not customizable.

The stats of the helmet and torso combine for a total of 80 points or less. If used with invisible armor pieces that have stats a player can exceed the bar set by the Cerberus Ajax, Nightmare, Shade and Spirit armor sets. However, you are welcome to mix and match pieces to your heart's desire!

N7 Defender Torso and Helmet

Torso Stats: +10% health, shields, and weapon damage. +20% ammo capacity.

Helmet Stats: +10% health, shields, and weapon damage.

N7-G Defender Torso and Helmet

Torso Stats: +10% to weapon damage, power damage, power recharge speed, and shields.

Helmet Stats: +10% to weapon damage, power damage, power recharge speed, and shields.

N7-P Defender Torso and Helmet

Torso Stats: +20% to power damage and power recharge speed.

Helmet Stats: +20% to power damage and power recharge speed.

N7-W Defender Torso and Helmet

Torso Stats: +10% to headshot damage and ammo capacity. +20% to weapon damage.

Helmet Stats: +10% to headshot damage and ammo capacity. +20% to weapon damage.

N7-OP Defender Torso and Helmet

Helmet: +10% to all stats.

Torso: +10% to all stats.

This mod does not replace or remove the existing N7 Defender Armor. The armor pairings 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.

If you wish to keep the helmet's stats but 'hide' it, EGM provides a feature that allows players to toggle the visibility of helmets.

This mod can be used with my N7 Defender Armor Collection (LE3). There should be no conflicts.

Installation

The player may install individual sets, or all sets 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. Se
