Full update notes in changelog, summary below:
  • The internal structure was reworked to my most modern template.
  • The harness is now the sole wearable item, with all other customizations being managed through toggles.
  • The previous pouches model have been converted into a toggle.
  • A new pouches model variant was added as another toggle.
  • Both pouch models will change colors based on harness variant.
  • On the right strap, 2 new accessory toggles can add a radio (returning from the legacy version) or a flashlight.
  • The radio and flashlight will change colors based on harness variant.
  • On the left strap, 3 new grenade toggles can add one of the three grenade types: frag, smoke, flashbang.
  • The grenades are identical 1:1 copies of their functional counterparts. 
  • Garment support is now possible and is included as an optional file.
  • The new accessories affect both genders and all refits.
  • Removed the outdated Gymfiend, AdonisSo/Lush and Flat refits.
  • Removed the reaction tags (not faction) from all items.
  • Reworked resource patching to fix any potential issues with new ArchiveXL versions.
  • The items from this mod now come in all possible rarities with new and improved stat bonuses that scale up the higher the rarity.
  • Every item comes with a custom attunement that counts how many pieces of the same set have been equipped together.
  • The attunement counts items from the same set regardless of rarity. This feature will be expanded in future to give a combined bonus.
  • The different rarities of items (based on your streetcred level) can only be obtained from Kimiko, one of the vendors inside the Zenitex Military Store.
  • Kimiko will sell all rarities of items at significantly reduced prices, except the iconic variant which will be priced at the same value as the Legendary variant found in Zenitex Atelier.
  • The virtual atelier, Zenitex Atelier, will continue to sell the legendary variant (and only that rarity) at the same price as before regardless of streetcred level (hence why prices here won't change).
  • Very special thanks to Saltypigloaf for teaching me the basics of TweakXL and helping me create this update.
  • The codes have been changed, requiring you to buy or spawn the items with the new codes.
  • The old items from this mod will be automatically removed from your inventory and stash once you install the new update.

Colors & Items:

❯❯❯ Colors:
This mod includes color variants for my 20 Military Sets. It requires my Military Palette Texture Library:
  • All items are designed to match my other military mods updated to 3.0 or are new releases.
  • Camo patterns are monochromatic and each set features a distinct accent color.
An additional custom set is included:
  • This variant will load an optional color set that you can pick from Military Palette Texture Library optional downloads.
  • If no optional color set is installed, this variant will load a duplicate of the black set.
  • You can have only one optional color set installed at once.


❯❯❯ Items:
This mod includes toggle items:
  • Toggles are utility items that will modify the shape of a clothing item when equipped.
  • These toggles need to be equipped together with their respective clothing item to have an effect.
  • More information about the toggles in this mod under the Dynamic Mesh section. 
In total, 28 items are added:
  • 21x Harness
  • 3x Grenade toggles
  • 2x Accessory toggles
  • 2x Pouch toggles
Note: All grenades are identical 1:1 copies of their functional counterparts.




Dynamic Mesh & Modules:

❯❯❯ Dynamic Mesh:
This mod has Dynamic Mesh features implemented. ArchiveXL auto-adjusts meshes based on what you're wearing:
  • (Both Vs) - Equipping any of the pouch toggles will add 3 pouches to the harness.
  • (Both Vs) - Equipping any of the grenade toggles will add a grenade variant to the left strap.
  • (Both Vs) - Equipping the radio or flashlight toggles will add their respective accessory to the right strap.
  • (Both Vs) - The harness and pouches will connect together with 2 straps when worn together
  • (Both Vs) - The harness and pouches will auto-adjust over the Military Combat Shirt when worn together.
  • (Female V) - The harness will load a skin-tight refit when worn by itself.
Note: Gender-specific conditions won't do anything when equipped by the opposite gender.


❯❯❯ Modules:
To equip all items at the same time, you need to use EquipmentEx:
  • Find the items from this mod in my Zenitex Atelier by searching "Tactical Harness".
  • To change the slot of an item, hold F over it in EquipmentEx and change its slot to one of your choice.
There are 4 modules spread across 4 slots:
  • OutfitSlots.TorsoAux: Harness
  • OutfitSlots.BodyInner: Grenade toggles
  • OutfitSlots.BodyMiddle: Accessory toggles
  • OutfitSlots.BodyOuter: Pouches toggles




Refits & Garment Support:

❯❯❯ Refits:
This mod has Automatic Refit Selection implemented. ArchiveXL auto-loads the correct refit depending on gender and body:
  • This mod is for both Female and Male
  • Compatible with the vanilla female and male bodies, as well as the VTK-based body mods: VTK EVB EBB EBBP | RB | EBBRB | EBBPRB | Angel
  • Body mods not listed above will by default load their gender-specific vanilla refit.
Note: No other refits will be added to this mod.


❯❯❯ Garment Support:
Garment Support (GS) is implemented as an optional file. Recommendations for this mod:
  • If using only my mods, the GS file is not recommended.
  • If using this mod in combination with other GS-enabled clothing (vanilla or modded), the GS file may be used, but expect mixed results.
More information about what Garment Support is and how it works:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • GS is a system the game uses to squish/overlap clothes that would otherwise clip. It is based on a scoring system.
  • EquipmentEx assigns scores to items based on their slot. Higher-scoring items squish lower-scoring ones.
  • Changing an item's slot by holding F in EquipmentEx affects its score.
  • GS is included as an optional addon for better compatibility with other vanilla/modded clothing that supports GS.
  • Modded bodies usually lack GS. If GS isn’t mentioned on a body mod’s page, assume it’s unsupported.
  • However, body GS is optional. It's only used to prevent skin clipping in areas where GS of 2 clothes is active. Skin clipping may occur without it.
  • If skin clipping occurs, you may try using this mod to hide the body parts that clip through.




Gameplay Features:

❯❯❯ Stat Bonuses:
The items in this mod provide stat bonuses when worn in the vanilla slots:
  • The items come in all possible rarities. The higher the rarity of an item, the better the stat bonuses.
  • The Legendary variant is always available for purchase at the Zenitex Atelier, regardless of progression.
  • Other rarities, along with Legendary, can be acquired from Kimiko at the Zenitex Military Store based on your streetcred level. (Currently unreleased)
Tactical Harness:
  • Armor Points: +10 / +10 / +10 / +10 / +10 / +10
  • Reload Speed: 5.00% 6.40% / 7.80% / 9.20% / 10.60% / 12.00%
  • Grenade Recharge: 5.00% 6.40% / 7.80% / 9.20% / 10.60% / 12.00%


❯❯❯ Quality of Life:
The items in this mod have shadow meshes:
  • In FPP, modded items require invisible, low-poly shadow meshes to cast shadows from direct lighting.
  • These shadow meshes are disabled in TPP and Photomode, where shadows are casted directly from the high quality visual model instead.
Each item in this mod has a unique tooltip:
  • The tooltip is a short description that appears when you hover over an item.
  • It displays the item's set name and counter.
This mod features support for Responsive NPCs:
  • All items that belong to factions have been tagged accordingly. Lazarus is canonically affiliated to Militech.
  • This mod is optional. See the Responsive NPCs documentation for what faction tags do.

Obtaining & Usage:

❯❯❯ Obtaining:
This mod adds standalone clothing items to the game via ArchiveXL.

The items will not be added automatically to your inventory, instead you need to acquire them in one of the two ways:
  • Use my Zenitex Atelier to preview and purchase the items in a lore-friendly way. Download and install both this mod and the Zenitex Atelier (together with its requirements), go to any computer in-game and access the store.
  • Use the Item Codes available in the Articles tab or inside the text file that came with the mod archive. Copy-paste these codes inside the console of Cyber Engine Tweaks and the items will be instantly added to your inventory. 


❯❯❯ Usage:
To find all items from one set in my Zenitex Atelier, use the search bar in the Atelier screen and search for your desired set (e.g., Alpine).
  • To use the clothes, equip them like any other garment available in the base game.
  • EquipmentEx is highly recommended because you will not be able to equip all items from one set at once with the 6 slots available in the vanilla game.

Description:
Military Vest - a military styled harness with ammo pouches found on NPCs, converted for player use.

This item originally exists as part of appearances for various Arasaka/Valentino NPCs. Vanilla male and female refits have been slightly adjusted and the refit for EBBP/EBB/Gymfiend has been added.

Vest comes in 28 color options. Additionally, female refits have a radio accessory addon.
It comes in 4 colors and you can find it in BodyMiddle slot in EquipmentEx.


Features:
  • Female V and Male V
  • Additional refits: EBBP/EBB/Gymfiend
  • 28 color options
  • Radio accessory available for female refits in 4 colors
  • Vest provides 8% reload speed boost if worn in the vanilla slot
  • Colors made to match my other mods
  • Meant to be used with tight clothing



Requirements:

Obtaining:
This is an ArchiveXL based mod that adds standalone items to the game, requiring you to acquire them first as they won't automatically appear in your inventory after installation. Two available methods exist for obtaining these items:

  • Use my Tac Threads Atelier store, which adds an online shop for you to buy my items in an immersive way. Download both the atelier and the mod you want you use, as well as their respective requirements.
  • Use the item codes provided in the zip file or in the Articles tab. Inserting these into the Cyber Engine Tweaks console will instantly add them to your inventory.

Download:
Download a single file:
- Military Vest - Vanilla Female: For Female V with no body mods, or with VTK/EVB body mods.
- Military Vest - Vanilla Male: For Male V with no body mods.
- Military Vest - Hyst EBB/EBBP: For Female V with EBB/EBBP body mods.
- Military Vest - Gymfiend: For Male V with Gymfiend body mod.


Notes:
  • The file for EBB and EBBP is the same refit, however it is compatible and looks good with either of the body mods.
  • The reason why male refit does not have the radio accessory is due to a rig issue that I am unable to fix. The files have to be separated as to not include the radio files for male V, otherwise attempting to use the faulty radio for male V will crash your game.
  • Gymfiend refit has been created by LadyLea!

Installation:
Install via Vortex or manually extract the contents of the zip file into the Cyberpunk root folder so they end up like this:
  • archive\pc\mod\scorpion_military_vest.archive
  • archive\pc\mod\scorpion_military_vest.xl
  • r6\tweaks\scorpiontank\scorpion_military_vest.yaml

  • archive\pc\mod\scorpion_military_vest.archive

Compatibility:
  • Works on game versions (2.1 | 2.02 | 2.01 | 2.0) with or without the Phantom Liberty DLC.
  • Will not work on 1.63 and lower versions due to technical changes firstly introduced in version 2.0.
  • Will not conflict with, or replace any vanilla or modded items.

Permissions:
  • You are allowed to use and edit this mod only for your private & personal usage, or for your personal NPV.
