📋 About This Mod

REQUIRES TTW 3. 3+

This mod makes it to where the Armored Vault 101 Jumpsuit will gain new effects as you progress through the Wasteland Survival Guide quest.

The Armored Vault 101 Jumpsuit is one of my favorite armors, and pretty much my go to armor for the first good chunk of a TTW playthrough.  While I do think it's already balanced fairly considering it's an early game light armor, I do think it gets outclassed pretty quickly.  I wanted to make this to just prolong its usefulness a little bit further by adding a few effects.

Note:  Please do not bother the TTW team regarding problems or questions with this mod.  Let me know in the comments on this page.

Requirements

  • []TTW 3. 3+

As with adding any mod, a new save is always recommended.

While not recommended, a save game that has the Wasteland Survival Guide completed/active will have the effects added automatically depending on progress.

How it Works

Note: This affects ONLY the 101 suit.  The 21 and 13 armored suits are not changed.
  • []The suit still keeps its vanilla effects.  Nothing is changed except that new effects get added.

    []To get the effects, you have to begin the next chapter of the quest.  It doesn't matter which task you start with, however.

    []You'll get a corner message in-game when the effects are added.  You'll also see the effects in the Armor section and Effects section in the Pip-Boy.

    []You do not have to have the armor equipped or in your inventory.  You'll get the message and effect added to the armor regardless.  Yes, you will still get the effects if it's equipped or in your inventory too.

    []This does not effect the appearance of the armor in any way.

    • []Start of Ch. 2: +1 Agility

      []Start of Ch. 3: +5 Energy Resistance

      []Completion of Guide: +10 Survival

            Version 1. 1 will also boost the armor's Base Health from 100 -> 150 and DT from 8 ->12 when completing the Guide.  Stick with Version 1. 0 if you don't want this.

    I didn't want to go too crazy with the added effects or buffing its vanilla ones because it is an early game armor and so that it doesn't mess with balance much.  You already get several rewards for doing the WSG.

    Future Plans

    []I intend to release a version later on that has the suit effects change depending on how you answer Moira's questions for your tasks (like snide or intelligent response), or depending on if you do the bonus objectives in a chapter.

    []I may make a version that changes the 21 and 13 suits with different effects as well.

    [*]Currently, I have no plans to change the armors appearance.  Anyone is free to use this
