It simply takes the New Vegas-style Sierra Madre Security Armor and adds it to the game. Modder ThatSpartacusGuy seems to be in the same camp as me, and they’ve created this mod to give the Vault Security Armor a bit more grit and realism. Vault-Tec Security ArmorĪmong my least favorite changes done to Fallout’s aesthetic after New Vegas are those done to vault-related apparel, specifically security armor. Whether you’re looking for the ultimate armor to make you feel like an Avenger, or just want to make the game a bit more risqué by modifying everyone’s outfits, someone has just the mod for you.
