!!!!!DEPRECATED!!!!!

This is a simple retexture mod in the theme of the Icelandic Special Tactics Unit known as the Viking Squad (IS: 'Víkingasveitin'). It is not precisely accurate to contemporary uniforms and includes an Icelandic patch denoting a variant of the STU which operates solely in a municipality called Keflavík in Iceland. This is meant to add unit variation so players can visually identify whoever is Team Leader. Similar to the differences between Police Department and Sheriff's Department.

I'm using the Ballistic Face Shield mod by VoltsCorp. Download here: Ballistic Face Shield by VoltsCorp

I'm also using the Clone Correct - Avon M53 mod by HotchSublime. Download here: Clone Correct - Avon M53 by HotchSublime

For the patch mirror issue, refer to the following mod for a fix: Download here: Heavy Armor Shoulderpad Fix by VoltsCorp

Known bugs:

1.) Patch texture applies to straps at the bottom of the light armor vest (fixed as of 2.0).

2.) Heavy Armor Vest left side patch is mirrored. Use Heavy Armor Fix by VoltsCorp to fix it. Download here: Heavy Armor Fix by VoltsCorp (own version now integrated as of v2.2)

3.) Some police patches on the light armor vests are hidden underneath the blood type patch on two of the operatives.

4.) One operator (Prescott) has blanc texture. Have yet to find out how to reduce the whiteness without making the vests on all other operators black. (fixed as of 2.2)
