==== Modular Armor ====
[Item Swap]
The armor sets are set up to allow maximum versatility for a particular look, or weapon setup. Items like the mantle, wrist guards, and belt are not apart of the main mesh. With this you can swap out deferent armor from other mods or use a configured set up from this one.

[Battle Sweat (BS) Add-On]
The BS add-on is an optional mesh installation that changes the material of the skin. This effects the upper and lower body, but not the head, hands, or feet.
