About this mod

Replaces the helmets of Peebee, Cora and Liam with the Remnant, Pathfinder and Elite helmets.
(Now also includes Initiative Helmet for Cora, Hyperguardian Helmet for Liam and default Visor Tints)

Permissions and credits
Originally I just made this for personal use, but in the end I thought I might as well share it.

It sometimes bothered me that Peebee and other Asari only wear breather masks and not full helmets. So I tried to see if I could do something about that.
After a little bit of help from Asari Ryder creator Genamine I was able to successfully replace the mask with a different one.
Later on  I thought, why stop there?
I'm the sort of person who just finds it cooler when a helmet covers the face completely. So that was kinda how this whole thing came about since although characters like Cora and Liam do have full helmets, you can still see their faces through the visors.

1.2 UPDATE: I've now found a way to tint the visors for the squad's default helmets, including Vetra. :)

I tried to pick helmets that still felt like something the characters would wear so that they wouldn't look or feel out of place.
(Please note I'm also using Femshepping's Midnight Ryders - Squadmate Retextures for the squad outfits in these pictures, hence why some of helmets match better in the pictures than they would with the vanilla looks. I am also using the Beta Initiative mod so that the visors on the Pathfinder and Initiative helmets are tinted.

The Remnant helmet felt like an obvious first choice for Peebee given her obsession with Remnant, and to be honest I think it actually matches her outfit quite well. Story could basically be that she made herself a helmet modelled after the Remnant.
I should also point out that, as far as I'm aware, I'm not using a mod that alters the rem tech lights. So for Peebee, the lights seem to have changed on their own.
A small issue as well (which you can probably see in the pics) is that her crests clip through the back of the helmet. Nothing I can do about that sadly, but its only a minor thing. Plus in some ways I think just better creates the feel that she's still wearing a breather mask, expect this one covers more of her face rather than just her mouth.
Oh and for those worried they'll be seeing other Asari like Sarrisa wearing the Remnant helmet, don't be. This mod replaces only Peebee's mask thanks to it being separate from the others.

For Cora I originally chose the Pathfinder helmet purely as an experiment. When I saw how it looked however (especially with the texture mod) I felt there was no need to look at other options. It looked good and actually did in some way fit her character given that she was meant to be the next human Pathfinder.
I fully acknowledge though it looks out of place with Cora's default look which is white. So I have also added a version that gives her the Initiative helmet for those who prefer to use the default texture for her.

Liam's meanwhile was more or less just because I wanted him to have a helmet that hid his face. The Elite helmet felt like the best choice. For some reason I think it makes him look a bit like a biker as well.
At the same time though, the Elite helmet's pure white colour didn't quite match with the texture outfit mod I was using. So I decided to find one that matched a bit more. And I found it in the Hyperguardian helmet.
Having now learnt how to tint visors, it was easy. I have inlcuded the tint as an optional file.
In some ways it actually fits Liam better given that some concept art showed him wearing it.


I am willing to take requests if people want other helmets for the characters. Its pretty easy to do.
Should point out though, I haven't been able to do anything like this for Jaal. Everything I've tried always makes the game crash, so I fear his breather mask is unchangeable.
