📋 About This Mod

Zaeed Massani is my favorite squadmate in Mass Effect 2. This mod adds seven new armors from Destiny 2 (Thunderhead Titan, Exodus Titan, and Veteran Legend Titan, Sublime Hunter, Warmind's Avatar Hunter, Last Disciple Warlock, and Sincerity Hunter) for him utilizing squadmate merge. Please keep in mind that these armors are additions to his armory, not replacements of any of his existing armors!

As of V. 1. 3, Zaeed will use a new breather I have designed using basegame assets, inspired by his helmet concept art from the ME art book with all seven of these new armors instead of his basegame breather helmet.

  • []I have also included an optional startup mod patch that will replace his basegame helmet with my new breather for both his default and loyalty armors. This patch should also be compatible with any other Zaeed armor mods that utilize his basegame helmet in environments that require a breather out of the gate.

If you're looking for even more options for him, both clericofshadows and beckabooo have also added fantastic additions to his armory that you can find linked below!

V. 1. 1 UPDATE:

V. 1. 2 UPDATE:

  • []Added 2 new armors for Zaeed! (Sublime/Lucky Pants Hunter and Warmind's Avatar/Caliban's Hand Hunter).

  • []Remade/adjusted all the SQM renders to better match one another.

(Minor) V. 1. 2. 1 UPDATE:

  • []Fixed a small bug with the skeletons on Sublime Hunter and Warmind's Avatar Hunter.

V. 1. 3 UPDATE:

  • []Adds 2 new armors for Zaeed! (Last Disciple Warlock and Sincerity Hunter).

    []Adds a new breather to replace Zaeed's basegame helmet, inspired by concept art from the ME art book.

    []Adds a new optional startup patch option to replace Zaeed's base helmet with the new concept art-inspired breather for other armors (such as his basegame armors)

V. 1. 4 UPDATE:

  • []Adds a new patch option for Casual Hubs for LE2 users to give Zaeed a new casual ported from The Outer Worlds (Chrono Adaptive).

** For this option I have only included Zaeed's _00_NC file in the patch option. This means that my casual will only override one of his casual slots, so that my casual can be used with other casuals that modify his loyalty slot (like Cleric's Armo
