📋 About This Mod
WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO?
This mod adds two optional custom Ranger Suit REPLACERS.
for you fellas who want to live out your days with a belly full of redeye and ride with a cold equalizer ready at the hip for any witless desperado.
One is named "Reverent" and alters some of the base colours and swaps the light tan/beige and maroon colours for darker brown and grey layers.
(Think vanilla adjacent as I've mostly repainted most areas with darker browns, this is the texture I use now as I think its the best balance overall and reminiscent of NCR Ranger armours).
The other is a darker, grungier outlaw styled retexture named "Owlhoot" that is black with dark brown highlights.
(This one is less varied in colour and quite muted overall, it was my first version of this retexture and the one I used while playing a Ranger with a bad side)
Not everyone likes the colour blue, Bethesda, you don't have to put it on everything.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Niche but appreciated—88 endorsements from a small player base.
- Nearly 7,000 downloads show solid interest for a simple recolor.
- Gives the iconic Ranger suit a darker, more stealthy look.
⚠️ Cons
- Only two color variants—limited variety if you want more options.
- No preview images in the description, so you're flying blind on the exact shades.
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter the Ranger suit textures.
For Starfield players who want a darker, more tactical aesthetic for the Freestar Ranger suit without overhauling the whole game. Skip if you're looking for new armor stats or full suit customization—this is purely a visual tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you've actually obtained the Ranger suit in-game before installing, or you won't see the change.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Check the mod's comments section for any user screenshots to see the darker shades before you commit.
