📋 About This Mod

This mod will add eight new armors for Zaeed Massani.

Original release: The following armors I've added are:

  • []Ajax: Recolored to have yellow stripes[/]

    []Kaidan's grey LE3 armor: Recolored to be yellow[/]

    []"Streetscholar":  A port of the Streetscholar warlock armor from Destiny 2 [/]

Zaeed will wear his vanilla helmet with these armors.

UPDATE 1. 3:

Adds another option to his casual hubs patch: A hoodie outfit built from Destiny 2 (Couturier Hunter) and vanilla assets.

UPDATE 1. 4

Adds two more armor options from Destiny 2.

  • []Braytech Warlock[/]

    []Inspector's Warlock[/]

Zaeed will wear his vanilla helmet with these armors.

UPDATE 1. 5

Adds one new armor option: A recolor of one of the Talon armors the NPCs wear in Omega DLC.

UPDATE 1. 6

Adds one new armor option: A port of the Deep Explorer hunter armor from Destiny 2, colored to be black and yellow.  He will wear his vanilla helmet with this armor.

Adds another option to his casual hubs patch: A sleeveless vest outfit made of Hunter Luxe assets from Destiny 2 and from my Cleric's Vest Outfits for Male Shepard (LE2) mod.  Please read the Patches section closely for all the new casual options on installation, thank you.

The tattoo visible on his sleeveless outfit is custom made by me using his visible tattoos on his vanilla armor as a base and a lot of work in Substance Painter, Photoshop, and Blender to visualize.  If this is something you would like to use in your own projects, you will need to contact me.  I reserve the right to refuse permissions for any reason.

UPDATE 1. 7

Adds one new armor option: A mashup of James/Kaidan's From Ashes Armor + the Ajax armor pants, found in my Cleric's Armor Mash-ups for Male Shepard mod

UPDATE 1. 7. 1

Some clipping fixes on the Ajax armor and more importantly, adds an option to reduce the number of armors added to his squad selection screen.  The options are:

  • []No change (All eight armors)[/]

    []Vanilla only (Only the armors that came from the trilogy will be available)[/]

    []Vanilla + D2 Hunter (Only the vanilla armors plus the Hunter port will be available)[/]

The strikethrough features in 1. 7. 1 are more improved in 1. 7. 2

UPDATE 1. 7. 2

With the release of version 9. 2 of the mod manager, there is a way to create better modularity with these "squadmate merge" mods.  On installation, you can check which armors you want to be installed.  All armors will be selected by default.

With the release of version 9 of ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, squadmate merge has a new slot limit of 32 outfits per squadmate.  In Zaeed's case, he has two outfits

  • Additive approach means your existing Zaeed armors stay intact—no overwrites.
  • Optional Casual Hubs patch shows the author cares about compatibility with other mods.

📦 Install:Easy· Under 5 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, just drop the mod in and let it handle the merge—no manual file editing needed.
  • Make sure you have the Casual Hubs mod installed before adding the optional patch, or it won't have anything to patch.
  • Since it uses squadmate merge, it's designed to work with other mods, but always check your load order to avoid conflicts with other Zaeed overhauls.
