Bain: Gang, our informant in the FBI just informed us that we are going to be seeing some tougher new units when heists goes loud, so be prepared.
Jack, do you know what date it is today?
After three years, it's finally finished
Changes the ZEAL faction's visuals to look like the United States National Guard, completely redesigning their appearance and giving them a new feel. This mod was made because "DHS decides to deploy secret dark legion that they've been training and hiding for decades" seems a bit far-fetched for me, so I decided to turn them into something that feels less cheesy.
There are three versions to this mod. Base, Hyper Heisting and Streamlined Heisting expansion/compatibility patch. Base version is needed for the other two versions to work, and modifies the following units:
- ZEAL HRU/Light
- ZEAL MFR/Heavy
- ZEAL Shield
- ZEAL Taser
- ZEAL Cloaker
- ZEAL Medic M4
- ZEAL Medic R870
- ZEAL Green Dozer
- ZEAL Killdozer
- ZEAL Skulldozer
- ZEAL Medic Dozer
- ZEAL Minigun Dozer
- ZEAL Marksman
Spoiler!
The Hyper Heisting version expands on the vanilla roster and makes the mod compatible in Hyper Heisting, which modifies the following units in the overhaul mod on top of the base mod:
- ZEAL Light Shotgunner
- ZEAL Heavy SMG and Shotgunner
- ZEAL Medic Rifle and Shotgunner
- ZEAL Sniper
- ZEAL Ninjas/Veterans (M4 and Dual Pistol)
- ZEAL Punks (Bronco, Mosconi, MP5)
- ZEAL Medic (M4 and R870)
Spoiler!
The Streamlined Heisting version does the same thing as the Hyper Heisting version for Streamlined Heisting, but has less roster and limitations to their design. Units modified include:
- ZEAL Light Shotgunner
- ZEAL Heavy Shotgunner
- ZEAL Medic (M4 and R870 uses the same model)
- ZEAL Sniper
Spoiler!
Compatibility Issues:
- The mod is not compatible with any mods that replace the ZEAL Units, Medic and Minigun Dozer, and ZEAL Marksman
- In v0.4, the National Guard Medics have been added into the base version, which makes it incompatible with mods that change the model of the FBI Medic. Remove the lines that are marked in the main.xml file of the mod to make mods that changes the Medic compatible. Note, this will remove the National Guard Medic from spawning on Death Sentence.

finally a good military reskin mod, very nice. the grunts give me bf3 vibes from the faces
is the shield hitbox changed? it looks more "flat" than the normal zeal shield, or is that just visual?
I decided to make them have exposed face to make them feel more human in a way, and makes them feel more specialised.
Yes, the shield hitbox is changed to reflect how the model itself looks. I took the asset from OVERKILL's the Walking Dead and made some slight modifications. This change might make the shields feel a bit easier to deal with, but given how players could get around and deal with shields easily regardless, it shouldn't be a problem.
