📋 About This Mod
This is a port of the Fallout 3 mod of the same name (available here). Some things to note:
DTO-BP: The 'Dragonskin Tactical Outfit - Bonus Pack' (DTO-BP) is available under the Files tab and contains bonus camo/colour variants of DTO items. It also includes an integrated menu system that makes it easier to get the exact DTO items you want. Images with the 'DTO BP' prefix are from DTO-BP.
Third-party add-ons: Add-ons based on an old version of DTO (versions before v1. 1) will likely cause graphical issues when using DTO. These add-ons will need to be updated to remain compatible with DTO.
NV Goggles: The night-vision goggles seen in some screenshots are from the Animated Night-Vision Goggles mod.
Weapons: I often get asked where to find the custom weapons seen in some of my screenshots here. The FO3 ones are from WMK, FOOK2 and WMK-FOOK2. The FNV ones are from WMX-ModernWeapons.

1. DESCRIPTION
===============
The Dragonskin Tactical Outfit mod actually adds a selection of the titular outfits - in different colours and camo patterns - to the Wasteland. It is loosely based on the real Dragon Skin body armour apparently in use today by SWAT teams, Secret Service and other elite military personnel. During testing this armour withstood multiple assault rifle bullet impacts and even point-blank hand grenade blasts.
The mod also adds matching 'Dragon' Combat Helmets, plus Combat Backpacks (that increase the maximum weight the wearer can carry), M40 Gas Masks (that provide some radiation resistance to the wearer), Tactical Goggles and Balaclavas to complete the look.
The player will not need to find (or purchase) more than one outfit to be able to use it in different camo configurations: much cheaper and lighter 'camo covers' for the armour and helmets allow the player to swap the camo type used by the outfit whenever they wish.
The outfits themselves are quite expensive, but offer fantastic protection: they are intended to be amongst the best armour available in-game; before stepping up to power armour, that is. For the sake o
Dragonskin Tactical Outfit adds a selection of tactical outfits in various colors and camo patterns to the Wasteland, loosely based on real Dragon Skin body armor used by SWAT teams. A classic Fallout: New Vegas armor mod with strong community support.
