📋 About This Mod
Made for Tale of Two Wastelands
New Vegas version now available in Optional Files section
The Lone Wanderer armor is a slightly upgraded armored vault suit with updated visuals to reflect what a vault dweller might look like after spending a prolonged time travelling the DC Wasteland (sleeves rolled up, dirty, more belt pouches, etc.). I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to play through FO3 again, so I installed TTW and quickly decided I wanted to make a new armor mod for my main character to wear.
Main File: 1 set of armor can be found naturally while exploring. Also includes a little note alongside the armor for some story/flavor. If you want some location hints, please see below.
Optional File: Cheat Chest - makes the armor available from a box just outside the exit from the Vault 101 cave (near the tree beside the Scenic Lookout sign).
Optional File: New Vegas only version - adds "The Lone Wanderer - Vault 21" armor to Sarah's Vault 21 Gift Shop inventory for purchase. Armor is visible on the Gift Shop's wall for display and will disappear after purchasing from Sarah. (my first time scripting!)
Main File armor location hints:
Hint 5 (exact location) -
Recommended:
Armed to the Teeth Redux by quicksilver500 and use the MCM setting to make pistol holsters lowered to avoid (very minor) clipping with the armor's belt.
Version Updates:
1. 2 - Fixed some texture paths for the shoulder flashlight meshes.
1. 1 - Fixed a texture path issue for part of the armor's belt.

darthbdaman for the basis of this mod's New Vegas optional file. I used the idea of placing the armor on a stand in Vault 21 Gift Shop and making it purchasable by Sarah from their mod, Armored Vault 21 Jumpsuit Proper Restoration and learned how to do some mild scripting for the first time.
