Attention: This mod, as well as the modpage, have been overhauled to Update 3.0. If you're updating from a previous version, see the Changelog and the additional Update Notice at the bottom of the description or in Posts.
Colors & Items:
Colors:
This mod contains color variants for my new and overhauled 20 Military Sets. It uses my Military Palette Texture Library.
All items were primarily colored to go with my other military mods that have been overhauled to Update 3.0, or are new releases. The camo patterns are monochromatic, and all variants have a distinct accent color.
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).
Items:
This mod had no items with identical visual appearances.
In total, 40 items are added by mod:
- 20x Harness
- 20x Pouches
SmartMesh & Modules:
SmartMesh:
This mod has SmartMesh features implemented. Through the use of Custom Tags, ArchiveXL will load or modify parts or entire meshes based on what you're wearing. These conditions only work between my mods.
This mod contains 3 conditions:
- The Harness will load a tighter refit of itself, with the lower and side straps below the chest getting as close to the body as possible without deforming the buckles when it is equipped by itself. This condition affects only Female refits.
- The Harness will load a more loose refit to accommodate the Pouches when equipped together. This condition affects only Female refits.
- The Harness and Pouches will connect to each other with 2 additional upper straps when equipped together. These 2 straps will never appear otherwise, regardless if you equip the Harness or Pouches individually.
Modules:
To equip all items at the same time, you need to use EquipmentEx. You can find all items from this mod in my Zenitex Atelier by searching "Tactical Vest".
If you want to equip an item that uses the same slot as the items in this mod, hold F over it in EquipmentEx and change its slot to one of your choice.
There are 2 modules spread across 2 slots:
- TorsoOuter: Harness
- TorsoAux: Pouches
Refits & Garment Support:
Refits:
This mod has Automatic Refit Selection implemented. ArchiveXL will automatically load the correct refit depending on the body installed.
Available means a refit was shaped specifically for a body mod, while Compatible means that an existing refit already works with another body mod (e.g., Vanilla Female will always work on EVB). Body mods not listed below will by default load their gender specific Vanilla refit.
This mod is compatible with both Vanilla Female and Vanilla Male. Modded bodies compatible with this mod:
- Female: VTK | EVB | EBB | EBBP | RB | EBBRB | EBBPRB | Angel | Lush | SoLush | Solo | Flat
- Male: Atlas | Adonis | Gymfiend
Garment Support:
Garment Support is not implemented due to the nature of the bodysuit.
This mesh has items that overlap each other, adding GS to them would make the modules incorrectly squish themselves when equipped. Currently, there is no solution or workaround for this problem.
Gameplay Features:
Responsive NPCs:
This mod features support for Responsive NPCs. You must have it installed for the faction and reactions tags to work, but you do not need it for the mod itself to work.
All items have been tagged with PositiveReaction. All items that belong to factions have been tagged accordingly. Lazarus is canonically affiliated to Militech, so they've been given Militech tags.
Quality of Life:
The items in this mod have custom made, low-poly Shadow Meshes. The items will cast visible and accurate shadows on the ground from sunlight while in First Person Perspective. These shadow meshes are disabled in Photomode and instead high quality shadows are casted directly from the visual model.
Each item has a unique description that contains their faction tag (or lack of) and their set(s) names.
Stat Bonuses:
Each item in this mod offers a small custom stat bonus. Your main stat increases should come from cyberware and leveling as intended by CDPR, therefor the stat bonuses attached to my clothes will always be minor, but still offer a realistic bonus depending on their material structure and body coverage.
All modules have slight stat bonuses on them:
- +4 Armor - Harness
- 10% Increased Reload Speed - Pouches
Attention: As of right now, their stat bonuses only work if you equip them in the vanilla slots.
Requirements & Compatibility:
This mod is compatible with game version 2.12a or higher and does not require the Phantom Liberty DLC. Mod conflicts are impossible. ArchiveXL, TweakXL, RED4ext and the Military Palette Texture Library are mandatory.
For layering and equipping all items at once, EquipmentEx (along with Codeware and Redscript) is required. To preview and purchase the items in a lore-friendly way, Zenitex Atelier is highly recommended.
Responsive NPCs is optional, use it only if you want the clothing Reaction and Faction tags to take effect.
Full requirements:
- ArchiveXL
- TweakXL
- RED4ext
- Military Palette Texture Library
- EquipmentEx
- Codeware
- Redscript
- Zenitex Atelier
- Responsive NPCs
Download & Installation:
The main mod is available as a single main file. Install and enable it via Vortex by pressing the Mod Manager Download button. For manual installation, click the Manual Download button and extract the contents of the zip file into the Cyberpunk 2077 root folder.
The correct files paths for the main mod archive are as following:
- archive\pc\mod\scorpion_military_tactical_vest.archive
- archive\pc\mod\scorpion_military_tactical_vest.xl
- r6\tweaks\scorpiontank\scorpion_military_tactical_vest.yaml
Obtaining & Usage:
This mod adds standalone clothing items to 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 and Paste these codes inside the console of Cyber Engine Tweaks and the items will be instantly added to your inventory.
To use the clothes, simply 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 at the same with the 6 slots available in the vanilla game.

Update 3.0 Notice:
This mod has been completely reworked. The changelog covers most significant changes. Due to major changes, the previously released version, now called legacy, is still available for download in the Miscellaneous section and is compatible with version 3.0.
Both versions can exist together without conflicts. Items from the legacy version remain purchasable in the old Tac Threads Atelier, while the updated ones are in the new Zenitex Atelier (both shops are from the same modpage). However, I highly recommend using version 3.0, as the legacy version is no longer supported.
The old mod page is archived in the spoiler below, and all legacy version previews are labeled accordingly. New previews have been added at the start of the image carousel and are labeled "New".
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
- archive\pc\mod\scorpion_military_vest.xl
- r6\tweaks\scorpiontank\scorpion_military_vest.yaml
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.
- For any edits that you wish to make available for public use (including porting or refits) please contact me first.
