Gears Of War 4 DeeBee DR-1 (Francis)

"<Sound of Baird eating potato chips> ... Oh. Oh ♥♥♥♥, we're recording? Uh ... DeeBee unit preparing for combat. Bleep bloop."

This mod replaces Francis with DeeBee DR-1 from Gears Of War 4. Comes with 2k textures.

DeeBees were robots created by DB Industries based on the JACK model after the Locust War to handle dangerous tasks like construction work and high-risk security details, but later assigned to combat roles. They are deployed via dodecahedron-shaped drop pods from Condors and Vultures, and occasionally assisted by Kestrels. Despite their heavy armor compared to Gears and the Swarm, they lack combat maneuverability and flexibility, since they were initially designed and programmed for security, causing them to perform poorly against the Swarm compared to the conventional Gears. Furthermore, their shock weapons in general deal less damage than conventional Gear or Locust weaponry, though this changed when they were armed with lethal weaponry. The name "DeeBee", just like the name of the company that manufactures them, comes from the initials of Damon Baird, the founder and CEO of DB Industries.

DR-1s are humanoid DeeBees that are slower but stronger than the regular Shepherds. These DeeBees are deployed in extremely heavy firefights (military) or as heavy shock troopers (civilian).

It consists of:
- Model itself;
- First person arms;
- Francis animations;
- Custom proportions;
- Custom item placements;
- Reflections;
- Emissive effect;
- Light model;
- VGUI icons.

Known issues:
- Since the model is high poly (<70k vertices) and has 2k textures, there is a chance of game crash, keep that in mind;
- Weapons and items are slightly misplaced while in hands on 3rd person model, due to its proportions;
- Be careful while using custom weapons and items, as they can mess up c_arms rig and model itself.

Addendum: Decals were disabled to minimize game crashes.
