📋 About This Mod
Increases the Legion Presence at Nelson. A must have mod for immersion junkies or those looking for a challenge.
Despite being talked up by the NCR as a fortified position swarming with Legion, Nelson is pretty much a ghost town. This mod fixes that by adding more Legionaries to the area and tweaking a few relevant NPCs, better aligning Nelson with the game's narrative.
Nelson Reinforced adds 16 carefully placed Legionaries to the town and edits the shotgunners in Deadsea's barracks to be Prime Legionaries instead of recruits for added challenge/immersion. I've also improved Ranger Milo's stats to increase his survivability during his quest. I've made sure to maintain the early game balance of the location so don't expect to find Centurions or encounter high level weaponry.
