📋 About This Mod

LEGION COMBAT ARMOUR

Replaces Caesar's Legion armour and helmets with a new combat armour variant. All of the new armour and helmets have identical stats to standard armour, and are only changed visually. The meshes are replaced via script when the game is started.

To use the replacer version download the main assets file, then the replacer file as well to implement the changes.

There is also an optional standalone file available. This version also requires the main assets file, but the included .esp will add three sets of all the new armour to a metal box at Cottonwood Cove without changing existing legion armour. This version can be used without the replacer version if you just want the modified armour for yourself.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid endorsement ratio (248 endorsements on 11k downloads) shows it's a trusted pick.
  • Gives the Legion a more tactical, battle-ready look that fits the wasteland.
  • Lightweight mod that doesn't mess with stats or balance.

⚠️ Cons

  • No screenshots or install instructions in the description—you're flying blind until you try it.
  • Last updated in May 2023—might not play nice with the latest game patches.
  • Only touches armour and helmets; if you wanted weapon or outfit variety, this isn't it.
🎯 Is This For You?

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a replacer, make sure you load it after any other Legion armour mods to avoid conflicts.
  • If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement—manual install is just as easy but keep track of your Data folder.
  • Check the mod's comments section on Nexus for user screenshots if you're unsure about the look.
