MGO is basically non existent and has some of the best customization items for characters. It's time that some of those made it into the main game for use. These are the ones that are my favorite.

2023 Update

It's been a while since I've done any modding for any game. Recently started playing some MGSV again and sort of testing the waters on if I still remember how to make mods for this game. Many things have changed and techniques I had originally done no longer work. However, I have still made a few small updates and a temporary fix to one outfit.

OPTIONAL FILE GEAR TEXTURES

You now have some customization options for the colors of the under suit and vest. These are purely cosmetic and does not affect gameplay. This is an optional file and requires the main file to work.

Currently 5 camo options for the under suit to include:
-Splitter
-Splitter Dark
-Woodland
-Desert
-Urban (just thought it looked cool)

Vest color options include:
-Black
-Tan
-OD

Some vests are already one of the above colors by default so they will not include an option for it.

For example, the Variant 1 vest is already black  so it only comes with Tan and OD. If you want to keep it black simply don't install an optional vest file. The same goes for the under suit. If you want to keep it the original color and only change the vest then simply don't install a suit file.

Refer to the images section for examples. Not every single configuration is shown but you should be able to get a good idea of the options. Mix and match as you desire.

Installation Instruction (also included in README):

1. Download main file you want to use such as Enforcer Battle Gear Variant 1
2. Download the corresponding optional texture file. For this it would be Enforcer Battle Gear V1 Textures
3. Install the main file first
4. Then install the vest and/or suit texture you want from the optional file.
5. You will be informed of conflicts. Accept and Overwrite.
6. Enjoy

If you want to switch to a different color just uninstall the color you currently have then install the new one.

If you want to revert to the original colors you must uninstall all vest/suit colors installed as well as the original file, then re-install the original.



ENFORCER BATTLE GEAR CUSTOM 2

A different variation on the Enforcer Battle Gear Variant 2. Keeps the swapped lower body gear so holster is on dominant side. All writing on the lower body gear has been flipped so it is orientated correctly and reads (if you can its pretty blurry) the correct way. Noticeable on the thigh, knee, and shin plates as well as the large thigh pouch and small pouch next to holster.

Removes the large radio/pouch on the backside that is part of the under suit. The vest already has a comms system and I don't feel it needed a second plus it clips a lot and looks bad in my opinion.

Removes the 3 40mm grenade rounds from the belt that are just floating there and not secured in any way. Maybe by glue? I don't know but I like it without them.

The outer vest has a large canister thingy on the lower left side. Not sure what it is supposed to be but I like this vest better without it. It has been removed.

Contains a fix for clipping that was present on the Enforcer Battle Gear Variant 2 ALT between the vest and the under suit. Never even noticed this on the original.

Has not been tested on DDM nor do I currently have plans to do so.


ENFORCER BATTLE GEAR VARIANT 2 ALT UPDATE 1.1

Fixes the clipping between the vest and under suit near the upper left shoulder. I never noticed this and it is bothering me that I left it that way for so long. It is now fixed.

Has not been tested on DDM nor do I currently have plans to do so.


OPTIONAL FILE HIDDEN NVG

Simply removes the mesh entirely for the NVG's. Mainly made it so I can wear NVG's and use the Enforcer Gas Mask without the 2 clipping together.

2021 Updates


ENFORCER BATTLE GEAR

Replaces battle dress for Snake and Avatar

3 variations to choose from each with a different vest. You  can only use one variation at a time

Install using Snakebite


ENFORCER BATTLE GEAR ALT

Same as above

However these have swapped lower body gear. For example, Holster is now on right side of character instead of left.

See photos for changes


ENFORCER BATTLE GEAR CUSTOM

Replaces battle dress. 2 Versions to choose from.

Standard takes the Variant 1 vest and adds some rifle magazine pouches to it that are from the Variant 2 vest. I think it looks good and utilizes that empty MOLLE space on the front of the vest in a practical way.

Revision 2 has the same the added rifle magazines but also re-orientates the undersuit so the holster is now on the Right side of the character instead of left. Basically all lower body gear has had its position swapped.


OPTIONAL FILE ENFORCER GAS MASK & RESPIRATOR

For Avatar only

Replaces Hairstyle 2

Can only use 1 optional file at a time

HIGHLY recommended you download a mod that removes the Avatar Horn as it will clip through the helmet. There are several on the nexus

Install using Snakebite


OPTIONAL FILE ENFORCER GAS MASK FOR SNAKE

Replaces Bandanas for Snake Only

Can be used in conjunction with the Avatar Version. When installing and informed of conflicts, agree to overwrite files. Both will work as intended

IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE BANDANA FOR THE AVATAR


OPTIONAL FILE HEADSET FOR AVATAR

Removes the horn from your head and places a standard headset in its place. Will always be on your character

NOT RECOMMENDED for use with the other Avatar headgear optional files.


OPTIONAL FILE ENFORCER BATTLE GEAR DDM

All versions/variants of the Battle Gear are contained in 1 .zip file

YOU MUST HAVE THE CORRESPONDING MAIN FILE INSTALLED FOR IT TO WORK

For Example:

If you want to use the Diamond Dog Male file "Enforcer Battle Gear Variant 3 DDM" 

you must have the version for Snake labeled "Enforcer Battle Gear Variant 3" installed


OPTIONAL FILE ENFORCER GAS MASK DDM

Replaces all headgear for Diamond Dog Males with the Enforcer Gas Mask

Can be used at the same time as the version for Snake and Avatar. You must continue/overwrite when prompted during installation


CONFLICTS

The Battle Gear will obviously conflict with any other mod that edits the in game Battle Dress for Snake and the Avatar.

In addition, the standard Bionic arm has been set to hidden on this mod for the sleeves to work. If you have another mod installed that hides or edits that arm you could experience issues. See the Posts tab for details for use with TMWSTW


KNOWN ISSUES
*WARNING. COULD CONTAIN POSSIBLE SPOILERS*

After Mission 43 you obtain a diamond for your left shoulder patch. While in the ACC ONLY it is still present and appears to be floating a few inches off your left arm.

IT IS NOT PRESENT during cutscenes, sortie prep, while in mission or at MotherBase. It is only in the ACC.

I am trying to find a fix to remove this.
