Beta-Retail Hybrid HEV Arms
This add-on adds beta-ish armour plates to the gloves and crossbeams to the forearms of the retail HEV. These were included in an early version of the 2001-2002 "red" design, and some were left in the world model of the suit in the release game if look closely.
Arms are only semi-compatible with simple re-texturing add-ons, as the handplate and crossbeam is a separate texture and won’t be styled differently unless support is made for it.
Also included is a replacement for the stun baton and SLAM, just in case, and some fixes to the vanilla view models.
Animations, models won’t work with it, unless they are adapted separately. But re-textures for vanilla weaponry should not cause any problems.
