Description:
Mod Info:

This cosmetic mod adds almost the entirety the Mirage core from Halo: Infinite to XCOM 2!

This mod applies the options to all armour tiers and for all soldier types and works for both male and female body types.

I’ve added some parts from Mark V [B] that I thought fit to pad out the pack a little. They’ll look better than the actual Mark V [B] release, too, so enjoy!

PLEASE READ: INVISIBLE HEADS are now a REQUIREMENT to prevent clipping.

It’s the most sensible way I see to move forward considering the odd dimensions of some of Infinite’s helmets, and it saves me stressing about scaling each individual helmet separately. The above mod is only a requirement if you want to use the helmets; if you don’t care for them, then you don’t technically need it.

You might notice some weird shading in the character pool / character customisation screen: this is completely cosmetic (lol) and doesn’t actually appear on the Tactical layer. It’s a result of Unreal 3 being Unreal 3, as far as I’m concerned.

Gauntlet weapons (ripjack, skulljack, psi blades, etc.) probably won’t look great because I didn’t account for them. Consider using mods that either replace their visuals or offer an alternative (like skirmisher swords).

Visors still aren’t tintable, sorry!


Please be aware that I’m not overly concerned with maximum compatibility between cores; some stuff will work better than others.

If you do notice any bugs/issues, please let me know in the comments and I’ll see what I can do. Just remember, I don’t consider clipping to be an issue.
