📋 About This Mod
A refreshing, new take on the amazing Desert Ranger Combat Armor, recoloring it to fit the desert environment of Nevada much more than it should have. Requires ADAM.
Multiple parts of the armor have been recolored/retextured for a better desert color palette. The helmet has new high quality textures and the words "parce mihi mater, conatus sum" on the helmet which is Latin for "forgive me mother, I tried."
Another goal with this retexture was to truly show the wear and tear of this armor ever since it was deployed in the Gobi Campaign during the Great War. It was never established by the NCR, therefore experiencing many harsh conditions. Details like the rusted pack on the back of the armor, the scratches and dents in the face mask of the helmet, the grime and blood on the duster and the crack in the visor really bring this idea to life.
