📋 About This Mod
Description The Brotherhood of Steel have been known to lose some people. Sometimes to battles, but sometimes to ideology. Sometimes a brother decides to go his own way and make his own path. One such brother found his true calling along side the regulators. But never comfortable without his armor, he found a way to keep the second skin he felt so naked without. Rumor has it he retired somewhere north of the Vegas Strip, perhaps trying the quieter life of a rancher. What this mods contains: An armored duster, made from the BoS recon armor and a regulators cowboy duster. Up close there is no disguising the nature of this armor, but at first glance it will pass as a duster. It has the stats of a duster but the DT and weight of recon armor (Medium armor, DT 17). U--5x6IzDx8 Question: Isn\'t this the same model used in your Stealth Armor mod? Answer: Yeah, you got me. I reused the model because I am doing a cowboy playthrough :P Question: Whats the difference? Answer: This has no stealth, less stats, and is medium armor rather than light. Plus its a little easier to acquire. Question: Where can I find the items? Answer: There is a locations spoiler file included. Question: Don\'t you think 17 is too high DT for a duster? Answer: Yeah, but its not too high for recon armor, and its lower DT than the ranger armor and the reinforced combat armors which are medium armors. Look at it carefully, this is not just a coat. Its actually a larger and thicker version of the vanilla recon armor. Question: Can you do a version that looks just like the normal duster? Answer: With DT 17? No. Sorry. Question: I found a hat near the armor, did you put it there? Answer: Yeah, everyone needs a lucky hat. This is yours. Hope it\'s Vegas enough for you.
