However as many years have gone by since the game dropped, I have gotten used to seeing the same sets of armor over and over again. With this mod you will be able to wear many new types of armor, as it adds plenty of new sets to the game. A fully-customized mod that allows you to access a Prototype Combat Power Armor that’s not only looking badass, it’s fully-voiced, and comes with its own set of weapons and combat utility items.
