Brotherhood of Steel Special Forces
Armor pieces for the Galac-Tac mod in Fallout 4 for Brotherhood of Steel. Includes every camo pattern as the past pieces from the mod, but this set got to be a different style. While it still uses the molle system to conform to the vest customization system, where the player can choose multiple pockets/attachments for their chest rig, I went for a more vintage/Fallout theme. Based off the Fallout 76 armor by the great Jason Smith: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ELPq82 While I took many creative liberties, I feel like it fits the same vibe. I pulled inspiration from WWII and Cold War era gear, specifically German WWII Paratrooper helmets and Cold War era American flack jackets. For the mod, the team also has other assets to combine with the set, including a gas mask of the same style as the Fallout 76 version. I did edit the textures of the gas mask and lenses to fit our customization system, but did not create the mesh.
My first attempt at creating a military style helmet that's not Star Wars themed. I feel like it fits the semi-modern feel I was going for.
Added some plates based off some old Soviet armor to fit the fallout style, I feel like Soviet gear fits the game very well, as well as some Cold War era gear from various other countries.
Backpack! Took the Fallout 76 radio backpack and tried to weld it to a Star Wars Rebel backpack, as I love that split exterior hiking backpack style.
Back radio and side rails/velcro come off no problem for a more classic look.
inspired by Canadian/UK military helmets.
Net, camo strips, and helmet paintjobs are all independent customization options in game.
While the vest this is based off of does not have the molle system, the mod uses an attachment system, so it made sense to add it for visual consistency.
Icon on the back of the flack vest can be replaced with any square png file, I made many by default, but always try to make it easy for players to edit to add their own flare.
"Groovy!" -Professor Goodfeels
Obviously had to. It's a flack jacket.
Member of the team wanted some shoulder pads, kept these low profile and low poly. In the mod items can be mounted to this, like a knife, or medical equipment.
Modular backpack! I love how exterior frame backpacks look, so went nuts with this one. The top half is customizable between a radio, a main pack, four small packs, and a hydration pack.
Main pack includes all previous colors as armor pieces.
Including camos!
Radio includes a customizable screen, like the flack jacket back.
The water outlets ended up being scaled way up later, but I thought it'd be a fun idea. Based off a Philmont memory where I got stuck with one of the big water containers.
