📋 About This Mod
--Black Riot Armor--
Requirements:
-Lonesome Road DLC
-If you have Project Nevada and want to use visor modes and overlays with the helmet install the Project Nevada compatible version. You will also need NVSE for this option, of course, as Project Nevada requires NVSE.
Installation:
-Install the appropriate version (Vanilla or Project Nevada Compatible)
-Extract the Data folder to your Fallout New Vegas directory.
Mod Description:
-This mod adds the option to convert your Elite Riot Gear from the Lonesome Road DLC into an all black variant. This includes both the armor and the helmet, but only for the 'Elite' set, the regular and advanced Riot Gear sets are not included. There are no stat changes, only appearance. Simply use the workbench with the armor and/or helmet in your inventory and you will see the options "Black Riot Armor" and "Black Riot Helmet". Selecting it will convert the original armor/helmet into my new black variant.
-Once converted you will have the option to convert the black riot gear back into the original riot gear with the "Black Riot Armor(Reverse)" and "Black Riot Helmet (Reverse)" options in the workbench.
-That's really all there is to it.
Future Possibilities:
-Additional black helmet variants with differently colored visors. Currently the helmet only has the original red visor.
- Bethesda for being awesome and making Fallout New Vegas and providing the original textures and meshes
- The folks who brought us Project Nevada, the must-have mod for New Vegas.
