This is a set of armor i put together that is similar to the Riot armor T3 but with a few changes. i had a few suggestions to make something like this, i was also inspired by the Starcraft Ghost suit mods here in the nexus, and a little bit of Mass Effect as well. There are Three colors to choose from Red Blue, and Green. Each color has its perks. below is an preview of the red armor's stats;



There are more items in the mod, included are;

Hardened Armor
Hardened Armor Light
Hardened Undersuit

Accessories;

Hardened Weapon Backplate
Hardened Mask
Hardened Helmet
Hardened Full Cover Helmet
Hardened Gloves

The file is located in one of two places depending on the ESP;
1.The default is right outside of the goodsprings saloon, in pickup trucks tailgate.
2. The second is a mini quest to obtain the armor. there are some journal entries insde Doc Mitchels house which lead to the place that they are being kept. This optional Quest is under Optional Downloads thanks to Taskforce3 for writing it.

What i was trying to go for with the weapon back plate was something like a magnetic plate on the characters back to hold rifles, a-la Gears of War . it always bothered me that weapons just got tossed on the back and magically floated. i made it an accessory so its your choice to wear it.

BE WARNED This armor is ideal for higher levels and it might be overpowered if picked up at level 1.

Install should be simple enough, just merge your data folder with your data folder in your NV directory.

I have this file as the very last in my load order and it works just fine, try placing this file as far down as possibe.

Any bug reports constructive criticism or suggestions are appreciated.

Please remember to endorse if you liked my stuff :D

Update Notes;

1.1 Changed the textures of the undersuit to look more streamlined and clean. Fixed some clipping issues with parts where material overlapped. Changed the weights of the chestplate to not bend as much, makes the armor look sturdier.

1.2 Added a few variants to the bag, A new green outfit which is great for radiated areas, in both the normal and heavy outfits, and new undersuits for all 3 colors. fixed a few textures here and there. Tweaked the stats of every outfit, each suit has an enchantment now!

1.3 Created Brand new enchantments for the armors, each color has a specialties, a few more refinements to the meshes and texture. Added Helmets to the mix. Accessories are now wearable on males.

What i plan for the future;

More suit variants in more colors. I was thinking of adding a few new colors into the mix and having each color have a specialty. What i have in mind; a green set that has Rad resistance, a black set with a sneak bonus, the red can have a combat bonus, not sure what to do with the blue set yet :D


FAQ;

Q; Can you make . . . . . . .?
A; maybe, im willing to do a few tweaks here and there if i feel it is appropriate, but i can only go as far as my skills can take me.

Q; Can you fix this here. . . .?
A; most likely yes, i think i have OCD so i tend to troubleshoot more than i work on my mods, i HAVE to go back and fix that spot that clips, so if you bring it up to me and i can do something about it then sure ill be glad to fix it. if there is a bug that involves another mod then thats obviously out of my reach.

Q; Can you make a male verision?
A; there already is a male version, to make mine into the male version would just be silly, its just too skimpy to look good on a male body, i would not be one bit comfortable while making that mod >_. although i will work on making the masks wearable for males as well seeing as those are pretty unique.

Q;Does this mod conflict with any other mod?
A; Doubt it unless there is another mod with the exact same names for the files, or the containers take up the same space

Q; I activated the file but i cant see the case!
A; Try placing the file as low (last) as possible in your load order, it works for me! also make sure your game is up to date.

Q; i have the default or "skinny" body mod, do i have to get Type 3 for this to work?
A; No, this works just fine on its own, i have my base body as BB and it works just fine. they only benefit from having the same body type is that it has the same shape and there is no contrast between outfits

Q; can you place the armor case somewhere else or have them locked? This armor is OPed for level 1s
A; There is an Optional ESP file if you are feeling like working for the armor.

Q: Could you make a version that is more true to Geonox's Original mod?
A: No, because there is already one, or two

Q: where did you get those guns?
A: almost all the guns in my pics are in this mod here: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37342

Q; Where did you get the Hair/Face?
A; I got the hair from Lings http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=44010 .
The face is my own doing with this skin mod http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=44010

Q; Why do some of the accessories look weird/clip on male bodies?
A; I Made this stuff primarily to work on a female body. i tested a few items on Boone and it looked fine. it might not be perfect on other male models.

Q; You suck and your mod sucks!
A; That's not very nice!

Q; Shadowtroop, why did you blatantly rip-off Mass Effect's N7 armor with no regard for decency?
A; NO I DIDNT! This armor is a mod of Geonox's armor which is supposed to be what a brand new Veteran ranger armor would look like, check out the chestplates, they are nearly identical. OK I gave in to the pressure and i made a few Mass Effect inspired items.
