***this patch is a replacer .esp, install it LAST and let it overwrite the original .esp!!!!*** 

UPDATED FOR HORIZON V 1.5 +
-Everything has been moved to the Tech Lab. You must craft my Armory Activator which can be found in the equipment section of the Tech Lab.
-You MUST update to my latest version if you haven't downloaded it from another one of my pages. The Armory Activator it can be found here.
-I remade the night/day effects for the enhanced suit. You will not take rads during the day while in settlements. Also, instead of specific hours (I had it set for 6am to 6pm/ 6pm to 6am) I set the magic effect to simply take place at "day" or "night" so things should be more precise and it wont matter if you use any mods (like true storms) that change day/night length.


New in 3.0:

(3.2-added 2 more upgrades for the mods for the Night Ops outfit...you may need to drop your outfit and pick it back up for changes to take place)

I added in the all of the armor parts/accessories, but they are purely cosmetic. Use whatever armor parts you want for the defenses and hide it. Then you get the looks of the NCR Ranger item and the defense of the armor you choose!

"Often our Rangers have the reputation of being unseen things in the night, as if we were something out of an old ghost story"

So, I've added in a new variant called the ranger outfit called  "Night Ops".  They use the same outfits as the original mod but have the following changes:

-You only get the bonuses at night, between 6 pm and 6 am.

-The outfit uses solar energy to charge during the day, so wearing it outdoors (with modifications installed) between 6 am and 6 pm will give you rads. The more mods you have installed on your outfit, the more rads you will get.

-The outfits cannot be used with any limb armor parts. 

-The outfits do not get a lining upgrade.

-There are 3 mods that can be installed separately:

*Spinal Reflex Injectors: Increases reload speed  from 6pm to 6am.
            
*Personal Anti-Detection Device: Improves stealth while moving from 6pm to 6am.

*A Resistance Upgrade of your choice: From 6pm to 6am.

-The upgrades are unlockable using the same magazines as the NCR Ranger Veteran outfits.

How to get:

Armory Encyclopedia:

I wanted a way to group together all of my armor/clothing patches for Horizon. One thing I wanted to avoid is creating a whole bunch of extra menus in the chem lab. I also HATE having mods I've downloaded getting mixed in and lost with Horizon's menus--its hard to tell what's added by another mod sometimes! 

So--I created a separate .esp called "Horizon and RicktheNexus Armory Activator". It is available in the download section of all my armor patches. They are all the same file--no need to download it more than once! What it does is allow you to craft a book in the utility section of the chem lab called the "ArmoryEncyclopedia". Equipping the book will show all of my patched armor mods in the crafting menu of the chem lab. Dropping/scrapping/storing it will make them go away. This gets rid of all the clutter of menus my patches will create and still allows me to keep them all separate and organized!

All gear added requires survival magazines. This is because Horizon has a limited number of perk points and I don't want you to miss out on any gear because a perk is out of reach. Another reason is that I hope my patches can have a real sense of progression on your game. I hope it feels rewarding to check back every so often to see if you've unlocked any cool gear!

Texture Clipping:

Some textures will definitely clip with armor parts and backpacks. Especially with mods that add capes/cloaks. If you don't like the way something looks, just go into the crafting menu and hide that particular backpack or armor part!!!

Notice on NCR Ranger Veteran Armor and my patch:

There also wont be any texture changes available in the crafting menu for the gear. So you cant add decals to the armor. But—i’ve added the decal versions of the armor as unlockables!

The mask uses Horizons mask/helmet upgrades. You cant change the colour of the mask anymore but i did include a glowing version as an unlockable.

I removed the cell/wordspace changes that came with mod so you can only craft the gear...i didnt want any conflicts with Horizon.

This patch REPLACES the Rangergearnew.esp added by NCR Ranger Veteran Armor. INSTALL MY PATCH LAST, and let it overwrite.

I really want to encourage you to download all of my patched mods for Horizon!! I've listed them below and I really intended for them to be all used together. I hope to add more soon!
