📋 About This Mod
NEW (19/06/2011): Added support for Project Nevada (see: download section). Please use either files and NOT BOTH! :) DESCRIPTION =========== This is just a small mod I made for myself. I thought I would share it. Enjoy :) Adds the \"Black Mercenary Armor\" and the \"Black Mercenary Helmet\". This armor is a dark reskined non-faction version of the Ranger Combat Armor. The Black Mercenary armor is also considered light armor and has some balanced stat boosts (if you get it near the end game that is :D ). PROJECT NEVADA EDITION: This adds the Ranger combat helmet overlays and borders to the Black Merc helmet. It also add all the vision modes (night, heat, EM) as well as scanning to the helmet. INSTALL =========== 1. Extract the texture folder and the BlackMercArmor.esp file to the Data directory in your New Vegas install folder. 2. Start the New Vegas launcher and select Data Files. Tick BlackMercArmor.esp WHERE IS IT?! ============= I suggest you find it on your own. It\'s quite powerful so finding it early in the game can make things too easy. If you don\'t want to wait however refer to the map image.
Adds a dark, non-faction reskin of the Ranger Combat Armor as light armor with balanced stat boosts. Includes matching helmet. A simple cosmetic and light armor option for Fallout: New Vegas players.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 651 endorsements and over 13k downloads.
- Gives you a sleek black alternative to the iconic Ranger armor without faction ties.
- Light armor with balanced boosts means it's viable for stealth or agility builds.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011 — might have compatibility issues with newer mods or DLC.
- Only two items, so it's a small addition rather than a full armor pack.
- No screenshots or detailed stats in the description, so you're flying blind on exact numbers.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a darker, faction-free version of the Ranger armor for their light armor builds. Skip if you're after heavy armor or a complete armor overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple armor mod, just drop the files into your Data folder and activate the .esp in your mod manager.
- If you're using other armor mods, check load order to ensure the Black Mercenary Armor doesn't get overwritten.
- The armor counts as light, so it pairs well with perks like Light Touch or Travel Light.
