- Camo patterns are monochromatic and each set features a distinct accent color.
- 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.

Dynamic Mesh & Modules:
❯❯❯ Dynamic Mesh:
This mod has Dynamic Mesh features implemented. By using custom tags, ArchiveXL will adjust meshes based on what you're wearing:
- (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.
❯❯❯ 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 Vest".
- To change the slot of an item, hold F over it in EquipmentEx and change its slot to one of your choice.
- OutfitSlots.TorsoOuter: Harness
- OutfitSlots.Aux: Pouches

Refits & Garment Support:
❯❯❯ Refits:
This mod has Automatic Refit Selection implemented. ArchiveXL will auto-load the correct refit depending on the gender and body used:
- This mod is for both Female and Male.
- This mod is 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.
❯❯❯ Garment Support:
Garment Support is not implemented.

Gameplay Features:
❯❯❯ Responsive NPCs:
This mod features support for Responsive NPCs. This mod is optional:
- The Harness and Pouches have been tagged with PositiveReaction.
- All items that belong to factions have been tagged accordingly. Lazarus is canonically affiliated to Militech.
❯❯❯ 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.
- The tooltip is a short description that appears when you hover over an item.
- It displays the item's faction tag and set name.
❯❯❯ Stat Bonuses:
Certain items in this mod provide small stat increases:
- Your primary stat increases should come from cyberware and leveling, as intended by CDPR.
- The stat bonuses from my items will always be minor but still reflect a realistic benefit based on their materials and coverage.
- As of right now, the stat bonuses only work if you equip them in the vanilla slots.
- +4 Armor - Harness
- 10% Increased Reload Speed - Pouches

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 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

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.
