About this mod
A mod aimed to overhaul certain armor sets and helmets in Helldivers 2, giving Helldivers increased "tactical" appearances, leaning Helldivers towards more of a "special forces" unit, rather than conventionally armed forces.
( NO EFFECT ON GAMEPLAY. THIS IS PURELY COSMETIC. )

== A BIT OF LORE ==
The second Galactic War forced the Super Earth Armed Forces and Helldiver Corps to endure an inexcusable amount of casualties, regardless of incidents. While the reserves in the armed forces are virtually "endless", as patriotic citizens from every corner of the galaxy gather together to enlist to defend the humanity's only way of life, the reserves are not infinite, and the armed forces will be short on manpower, sooner or later. When that situation occurs, there will be no one left to fight for Freedom, and unforeseeable consquences will undeniably follows.In response, the Ministry of Defense has shifted tactics. Instead of continuously sending Helldivers as cannon fodders, the Ministry of Defense decided to dedicate additional resouces to train some Helldivers more rigorously, as well as preparing a set of better equipment for existing Helldivers in order to increase the effectiveness, flexibility, and survivability of the Helldivers active in the war zones, focusing on maintaining tactical advantages and minimizing unnecessary losses.

== MOD INFORMATION ==
This mod overhauled certain headgear and armor sets with additional accessories and equipment. Making Helldivers more of "spec-ops" operators that are serious and ready to take a fight against their adversaries.
Optionally, you can use some sort of methods to hide capes if you want to see the details on the back.
These armor only replace "Brawny" body type. I have no plans to make variants for "Lean" type, as this will put a considerable amount of effort and it will be too much work for me. Sorry.

OPTIONAL MODS (UNNECESSARY, BUT RECOMMENDED):
Install Invisible Herald Cape and equip "Liberty's Herald" cape to completely hide the cape. Some modded armor have rear pouches and they will clip with most capes. If you are bothered by that issue, please install that mod and equip the aforementioned cape.
Install Attachments Begone to hide base game accessories on weapons. There is a chance that the accessories from base game (flashlight, lasers, etc...) will clip with modded guns. Install that mod to avoid clipping issue!
