Description:

Modular Military Helmet - Ops-Core FAST - A modern day military helmet fully ported and converted for player use in Cyberpunk 2077.

This mod has been requested by Grovac.


This is a combat helmet that is in active use in special operation forces in various countries. For more information about this helmet's specifications in real life you can check the wikipedia entry about it.



Lore:


One other thing I like to do is sometimes write a story to connect my characters and mods to the official Cyberpunk lore. I haven't shared any of these before, but here's a fragment of the one connecting this mod.

Each mod I made has one of these, some more complete than others. This is a fragment of the document showing how this helmet was initially discovered.

Expect one of these on each of my future mods from now on.




Modules:

This helmet is split into multiple, single modules, allowing for comprehensive customization and compatibility with other face items.

There are 7 main modules which you can wear at once together with my other military mods. The night vision goggles, together with its lenses and screen, have up and down positions which take the same slot.

An alternate variant of the helmet, which has skin tight chin straps, is also available by default along with the other items. This brings the total to 11 different items added by this mod.

Available items:
  • Helmet
  • Helmet [A]
  • NVG [Up]
  • NVG [Down]
  • Lenses [Up]
  • Lenses [Down]
  • Screen [Up]
  • Screen [Down]
  • Headset
  • Microphone
  • Balaclava



Refits:

This mod uses the property interpolation feature from ArchiveXL. With this feature implemented, ArchiveXL will choose the female or male refit based on the gender you're playing as. This means only a single universal file is available for download which you can use for both genders.

The difference between the normal variant and the alternate [A] variant of the helmet, is the the [A] has chin straps that are skin tight, whereas the standard one has been specially fitted to go over the Balaclava in this mod.

Available refits:
  • Compatible with every vanilla or modded body

Notes:
  • The helmet has a considerable amount of space between the helmet itself and the head.
  • This means most short hairstyles and a few medium sized hairstyles work well with the helmet. Note that you should wear the [A] variant of the helmet if you don't intend to use the balaclava, as this variant has skin tight chin straps.
  • The chin straps and balaclava have morphing properties. They will shape around your face sliders and move together with expressions.
  • Highly compatible with my previous military mask mod.
  • Mod meant to be used my other military mods.



Variants:

This helmet has been colored in the same color palette as my other military mods. It features the same rough, non-reflective appearance as my other military gear.

Available colors:
  • 20 Solid colors with neutral accents
  • 8 Custom variants with camo patches

Notes:
  • As stated in my previous mod, 3 of the custom variants are getting permanently replaced.
  • Those 3 being the green camo variants (WoodlandPinewoodTropical). Unfortunately, they are very complex internally and are slowing my progress significantly when attempting to match them across my mods.
  • Additionally, they didn't really fit much in the Cyberpunk world as there are no proper forest or green environments for them to make sense.
  • They will be getting replaced across all my mods (eventually), with easier to maintain and more fitting variants.
  • These variants being "Nightops" (Black with blue accent), "Enforcer" (Dark grey with light purple accent) and "Zealot" (White with red accent).
  • The items in this mod have parts which use camo patterns, the new variants have custom geometric ones.
  • Some of the individual microphone items actually have the same color (duplicates) across some of the variants.
  • This is intended and I added them simply for the sake of having a complete set.



Optics:
Totally fried, and let's not even talk about the power supply...

The standard 28 colors above cover all the hardware elements, however in addition to these, I have added many variants of lenses and screens to be mixed with the NVG block. They have their own set of colors, but it is identical to the same color set used in the LEDs of my military mask mod.

The night vision goggles must be assembled with the NVG block itself, a back screen and front lenses. It's supposed to be made from all these 3 modules at once, but I've split them up for customization purposes.

Available colors:
  • 20 Reflective Front Lenses
  • 20 Reflective Back Screens
  • 20 Glowing Front Lenses
  • 20 Glowing Back Screens

Notes:
  • They all have different color codes, however depending on lighting in the area you're in and how you've modded your game with visual mods, some may look similar to each other.
  • These are available in both positions of the NVG Block (Up or Down).
  • My personal recommendation is to use one of the black variants for the NVG screen in [UP] position, as it's supposed to be turned off.



Night Vision:

Update 1.2 introduces functional Night Vision to the NVG [Down] item. To have this work you must install an additional requirement, the Kiroshi Optics Night Vision Mod.

All you have to do now, is simply equip the NVG [Down] item in EquipmentEx and toggle night vision by pressing F3.

This mod does not have integrated night vision in it, you need to download the additional requirement (Kiroshi Optics Night Vision Mod) for it to function and to configure it further to your liking.




EquipmentEx:

EquipmentEx is absolutely mandatory to be able to customize this helmet properly. This mod adds a total of 364 items.

The items are split to be worn individually across 7 different slots. These slots already exist in the current version of EquipmentEx. If you don't use EquipmentEx, you can still wear the helmet in the vanilla Helmet slot, and the NVG block in the vanilla Mask slot.

Some of the items take the same slots as my military mask, however everything else can be worn in combination with my other military mods. Additionally, if you want to wear things together but they are in conflicting slots, hold F over the item in EquipmentEx and assign it to a new slot.

EquipmentEx slots:
  • Head: Helmet x28
  • Head: Helmet [A] x28
  • Balaclava: Balaclava x18
  • EarRight: Microphone x28
  • EarLeft: Headset x28
  • Wreath: NVG [Up] x28
  • Wreath: NVG [Down] x28
  • EyeLeft: Lenses [Up] x40
  • EyeLeft: Lenses [Down] x40
  • EyeRight: Screen [Up] x40
  • EyeRight: Screen [Down] x40



Additional information:

The mod has an additional, small gameplay stat buff. Equipping the helmet in the vanilla Head slot will provide +25 Armor.
EquipmentEx is still mandatory to wear the full set.

All items in this mod are first person compatible.

Features:
  • Female V and Male V
  • Automatic refit selection
  • 7 Main Modules, 28 Color options each
  • 2 Lenses and 2 Screens, 40 Color options each
  • 364 items in total
  • Night Vision Functionality
  • Wearing the helmet in the vanilla Helmet slot will grant +25 Armor
  • Colors made to match my other mods
