"Rise and shine, Commander. Rise and... shine.

Not that I... wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest after all that you have done for your world -- which is, needless to say, unsatisfactory ... Well, let's just say your hour has... come again.

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Commander. Wake up and... smell the ashes..."
- Unknown

"Well Dr. Freeman and Menace 1-5, I see your HEV suits fits you both like a glove. At least the glove parts do...

Anyways this is the Hazard Environmental Suit -- or HEV for short. Unlike XCOM's weak kevlar armors, this suit is a bit more sturdier and can handle quitea punch against the alien threat. It also can (hopefully) protect you from dangerous hazards like acid, poison, radioactivity, etc.

Mind you though, you're not invincible, even with that on. So keep your heads and wits about you. "
- Dr. Kleiner, New Scientist of XCOM

---------------------
Commanders of XCOM, I give you the famous HEV suit from the well known series Half-Life!

This mod adds in the famous HEV suit for BOTH MALES AND FEMALES. Here are the features...

• 2 helmets of the HEV suit for the M & F. Both will be colored.
  
• 2 torsos for the M & F: 1 torso will have the XCOM logo and 1 will have the Half-Life symbol for lore purposes. Both will be colored.
  
• BONUS: A headcrab for the heads on M & F for the ultimate Half-Life experience. Default headcrab only.
  
• ALL headgear mentioned can be used on Upper, Lower, and Helmet options for further customization.

NOTE: The armor textures & rigging aren't perfect (as always) as I am still a damn Rookie when dealing with something with armor. Also, I'll do texture optimizations later. I did my best! Updates will come don't worry. Just please be patient.



[OBLIGATORY] Q1) Where the hell is the crowbar?!
Working on it. Still learning the basics of how to make a weapon. It'll be its own separate mod.

Q2) WOW! You can do armor now?! Can you do --
Nope. I won't do requests.

Q3) DONATIONS DAMMIT. PLEASE AERONAUTIC-SENPAI! I'LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING!
Fine, give me some of your RNG luck and a piece of your soul. Happy? Seriously, I need that for my XCOM runs (the RNG luck, not your pieces of souls. The latter is for... something else).

Seriously though, no, I still won't accept monetary donations.

Q4)What was the purpose of this mod?
Back when XCOM 2 initially started, Dr. Freeman was one of the many characters I wanted in the game. When Freeman's Mind came into the Workshop, I fell in love with it. Then the Combine assets came for the game and felt ecstatic that Half Life was entering XCOM 2. Problem was... there's no HEV suit (Freeman's iconic armor). And I've been waiting patiently for some brave soul to make it -- only no one did.

With some experience with Viper Gear under my belt, I undertook this important task. Many weeks later, here ya have it. The HEV suit is ready to go (plus a few little additions to make it worthwhile).




Got anymore questions? Put in the comments below if you wish. Anyways, ENJOY THE MOD GUYS!
