Summary
Players of Bethesda’sStarfieldcan now experience the game as the iconic Spartan super soldiers from theHalouniverse, including series protagonist Master Chief, thanks to a new mod. It is just one of many mods players have created to enhance their enjoyment of the spacefaring RPG.
Much like with Bethesda’s past games, a solid modding community has formed aroundStarfieldsince the title was released last September. There are currently more than 6,000 entries for the sci-fi game on Nexus Mods, the internet’s biggest mod repository, with a lot of these mods delivering fixes forStarfield’s issues or providing player-requested quality-of-life improvements. There are also mods that add new content toStarfield, like a recent release that brought some armor sets from theHalofranchise to Bethesda’s RPG.
TheHalo Spartan Armor Collectionuploaded by Nexus Mods user Bonepunk adds Mark V, Mark VI, and Mark VII Mjolnir armor cores toStarfield. For context, belovedHaloprotagonistMaster Chief donned variants of the Mark V and Mark VI Mjolnir armorsin the games. The individual armor parts that Bonepunk’s mod adds, which are available in various colors and patterns, can be mixed and matched to create custom sets. However, the release is still a work in progress, and users have been warned that clipping might occur if armor pieces from different cores are paired together.
