Fairly large update, please READ THE Change Log & Sticky notes before installing.

Raider Overhaul
This is a Work In Progress mod that tries to add more style and diversity to the raiders of the Commonwealth. I mean, your going to be fighting them ALL THE TIME. This mod adds various headwear and armor in the game that appear wilder, more savage, more "raider-esque". Also included are consumables, new power armor, dog gear and equipment modifications, designed to reflect the savagery and carelessness of the raider faction. This mod requires the AWCKR mod, and nearly everything is CBBE compatable. Every piece included (except the raider mod armor retexture) is 100% standalone and no vanilla textures have been replaced in any way. Raiders and their dogs in your game will randomly spawn with n new or armor. You may even meet a Raider Dreadnaught up close!

WARNING: This mod makes raiders tougher (duh)

If you like my Power Armor, but dont want the rest of my mod, check out Mad Max's Raider Power Armor Chop-Shop

CBBE compatable.

KKTheBeast has made VIS patches for this mod.

Armor and Weapons Keyword Community Resource is required to use this mod.

I have also included a download, Raider Armor Buff that adds a little defense to raider armor.

There's also the Super Mutant Redux

Dont forget there is now Better Armor Mod Descriptions support!

The Dreadnaught's armor is in. This (very) heavy Raider upgrade is one tier higher than buttressed armor. It sports impressive stats, on par with Heavy Combat Armor. The Dreadnaught set is layered in vibrant, contrasting colors to attract enemies, and bring WAR. You'll instantly know where to focus your attention, as will your enemies when your wearing this fortress of undiluted awesome! Completely compatible with all linings, renaming, and fully integrated into the game. With this set I've included a custom fitted Dreadnaught Helmet, as fearsome as it is defensive. Also there's a new outfit to compliment the set, the Tar Walker Outfit, garb peeled from the oily hands of the infamous Tar Walkers from a secluded, ruined city called Filla Delphia.

• Forged Subaltern Outfit
• Forged Factotum Outfit
• Forged Abettor Armor
• Forged Despot Armor
• Forged Magnate Armor
  

Each variant has slightly more defense and fire resistance than the previous. 3 of the outfits can be crafted in the AWKCR Armor Station, however the other 2 variants must be looted from the forged themselves. Furthermore, the forged will now spawn with crowbars and shiskebabs in addition to their flamers.

IMPORTANT: This update doesnt make the forged OP in any way, however it does make them tougher. I highly suggest you take the time to outfit the settlers at the Slog. Giving your settlers better guns and armor will give them a much easier time against the tougher Forged.




The Junkyard Dog Armor(s) come in light, medium and heavy variants, all of which are much heavier than vanilla dog armor, but offer far more protection, without breaking immersion. The armor will NOT make DogMeat invincible, but it will make him more resilient. I gave them some energy resistance since the majority of the armor is metal.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this upgraded defense can make raider mongrels fairly tough, but they wont spawn with any armor at low levels and their damage output remains the same. Just be prepared if you see a raider mongrel rushing at you with this armor on.
