📋 About This Mod
very simple mod that changes the equipment the Enclave use to make them a bit stronger and appear a bit more like their Fallout 2 counterparts.
if you use the XV Rework replacer, this will still work without issue.
In Fallout 2 the Enclave used various very powerful weapons - including gauss rifles, chainguns, pulse/plasma/laser pistols, etc, and this mod attempts to imitate that, along with their bulkier (and imo, better looking, especially compared to the Mk. II Model in FO3) armor which the XV rework does very well compared to the vanilla model, it is possible that weapons from other mods may appear in their equipment to spawn in with
officers wear power armor as well
once installed, load this under the Return of the Enclave mods
i take no credit for the XV enclave armor nor Return of the Enclave mods, i only adjusted the NPCs - i will remove this if i am asked to
a "Stronger Enclave Soldiers" optional file has been added, this version makes the Enclave have about 3-4x as much HP (enclave soldiers in FO2 had around 200 HP) compared to the normal FO3 stats, so the courier should probably have decent gear before fighting them in open combat (in WARZONES they are found only in a few areas so they are very rare)
"Enclave Combat Armor" has been added, off-duty troops would wear combat armor in FO2 in Navarro, and this replicates it, although includes an enclosing helmet and model from https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/18064/?tab=files, none of the assets are used and requires the mod to be downloaded and extracted into New Vegas' data folder. I will remove if asked from Omegaspectre/Jamo12. Makes more sense lore-wise if used with WARZONES and not RotE, as advanced power armor production is probably at its' highest w/ the Oil Rig still intact. Load under RotE Equipment Adjustment
This mod reworks the Enclave's equipment in Fallout 4, making them stronger and visually closer to their Fallout 2 counterparts. It requires either WARZONES or Return of the Enclave to see the new gear on soldiers. With 120 endorsements and 5,101 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated tweak for Enclave fans.
