Scripted Guns Overhaul
Guns in Fallout New Vegas are pretty much fine, but I still have nitpicks.
In particular some DLC weapons, which had a power creep to them, but also some uncharacteristically weak outliers.
Then there's also some... what I would call, Fallout 3 jank.
SO THIS MOD... does tweaks, how I wanted to see them,
BUT YOU CAN AT ANY TIME CHANGE BY HOW MUCH!
Why even bother with OP feeling weapons when they are locked behind DLC? With FNV modding we have things like DLC Weapon Integration that make these weapons quite common, thankfully.
Also included so far in "optional":
Gun tweaks for Classic Fallout Weapons Remastered, to have the same rule changes applied.
How do you change values and limitations?
If you need help, you can also look at this mod
Guns have been sorted into (hopefully) easy to find text files depending on their equip type, so you can (hopefully) find them fast.
See a number you don't like at a weapon of choice? Change it, or:
delete the whole line. Alternatively:
if you are unsure if you would later like to keep/change something, just add a " ; " in front of the line, just like the weapon names. That line will be skipped.
Not all Weapons got changed, but their EditorID is under their name, so you can do a quick change. EditorID's can be easily found in xEdit
If a mod does a balance change by script, it will override the changes in this mod.
If you wish to upload a change you made under this mods name for easy trackability, go ahead!
You can just upload just the single weapon type text file you made a change in, like in the example in "miscellenous".
Or just make a new Script Runner mod yourself! Good luck!
What are the changes:
Weapon animation buffs changes have been inspired by WFAST
Ammo:
Goals: Remove some FO3 jank from 5mm for later buffs, while also adding some, arguably, jankto 5.56mm myself. Nerf Nails.
Nerfed Nails from -5 DT to -2 DT, because its nails, not a sabot tank round
Nerfed 5mm's from -10 DT to -5 DT, I get that it's supossed to be Armor Piercing by default, but thats overkill
Buffed 5.56mm's to -2DT from 0, If 5mm can Armor Pierce by default, so should 5.56mm, by a bit
Automatic Rifles:
Goals: Play off the ammo changes. Make the Bozar and Automatic Rifle more fun. Automatic Rifle buffs have been inspired by The REAL Automatic Rifle
Assault Carbine
Buffed damage to 22, from 13 to offset the 5mm nerf, but dont expect good crits with pencil ammo
Reduced weapon skill requirement
Marksman Carbine
Reduced weapon skill requirement, 100 is a bit too much to ask
Reduced value
All-American
Reduced weapon skill requirement, 100 would be adequate to ask, but I still reduced it
Light machine gun
Buffed damage and critical damage to 25, from 21, to make it not be overshadowed by the Carbines
Reduced weapon skill requirement, there are alot of skill 100 guns in the game, aren't there...
Bozar
Buffed damage and crit damage to 26, from 19, wow that was low, mag size advantage for LMG, else use the good ol' Bozar
Reduced weapon skill requirement and strength requirement, the Bozar being 20000 caps with its old stats was an insult
Automatic Rifle
Reduced weapon spread, now it can hit it's valuable .308 ammo
Increased fire rate and value
Heavy Weapons:
Goals: Miniguns seem to made to be used against heavy armored targets, but you hold a heavy gun to expect heavy damage. Now you can.
Minigun
Buffed damage to 16, from 12, small-ish buff (+1/3), feels good, but dont expect good crits with pencil ammo
CZ57 Avenger
Buffed damage to 18, from 13, feels good now, but dont expect good crits with pencil ammo
Shoulder Mounted Machine Gun
Buffed damage to 33, from 30, and critical damage to 22, from 20, technically 0 because of SMMG 0 crit chance
Increased critical chance to 1, from 0
Reduced weapon skill requirement and value
K9000 Cyberdog Gun (the .357, blue one)
reduced value
FIDO (the .44, red one)
Buffed damage to 40, from 36, and crit damage to 20, from 18, hopefully you have a reason to upgrade now
