📋 About This Mod
possibly not compatible with TYPE 4, 5, 6, 1000 body (skeleton) replacers. And other mods for those exact armor models.
- JIP LN + JohnnyGuitar NVSE Replacement method: maximum compatibility
- Replaces 4 Vanilla combat armor variants
- Replaces Lucky Battle armor from JSawyer Ultimate
- Adds to Dino Bite gift shop a unique (not shown before) Lucky Battle helmet Helmet: with -10% weapon spread and +5 crit chance.
- Adds a unique set of Desert Combat Armor and Boomers Helmet at Nellis array generators (in a locker inside)
In principle will work without JSawyer Ultimate but you will not have a nice green battle armor set to fit the helmet...
