📋 About This Mod

Weapon Diversity Mod - Accurate Brand Names and More Weapon Options

Stock, + (Plus), + + (Plus Plus) Editions

Info:

Rebuilt mod from the ground up for 2. 0

Ever wanted to know what is a 'Manufacturer' - "Kali Yama"?  Well, now you will have your answer.  This mod changes all HBS weapon descriptions to include more accurate manufacturer information along with many different lore brand names straight from Classic BattleTech.  A "Kali Yama Big Bore" AC/20 produced by "Kali Yama Weapons Ind." for example, along with occasional extra details and Easter eggs in the descriptions.  On top of that - various new models for existing weapons including more Machine Guns (can never have enough of those) that are made to be in-line with HBS weapon/balance values.

I loved that HBS added details for weapons and this is the culmination of my obsession to take their idea several steps beyond as I always liked how Battletech included different names and details for everything equipped and generally the origins of their make/model.

Note:  No longer integrates JK_MinorAdjustments or my other misc mods, but it should work fine with this mod regardless - my intention with rebuilding this mod is so you may apply other mods as you wish.

ModTek Integration in 3 different varieties and an Optional:

STOCK Edition

1.  WeaponDiversity-STOCK

  • []Changes the HBS 'manufacturer' and 'model' information in-game and sometimes extra information added to the Details but not always (including other manufacturers that make the same weapon, or what the weapon was typically produced for, or if it was built with a design quirk, etc.)

    []The following HBS weapons have been given canon or close to canon design quirks, effectively rebalancing them albeit very minor:

    AC/10 + Kali Yama Class 10   (- 1 Ammo Clip, "Ammunition Feed Problem")

    AC/10 + + Federated Autocannon  (I. C. J., "Improved Cooling Jacket" - effectively - 2 Heat)

    AC/20 - + Defiance 'Mech Hunter (+ 2 Heat Gen., "No Cooling Jacket" ; No Recoil, "Stabilized Weapon/Accurate Weapon")

    AC/20 + + Defiance 'Mech Hunter 2 (No Recoil, ""Stabilized Weapon/Accurate Weapon"; + 2 Acc., "Accurate Weapon")

    PLUS (+) Edition

    2.  WeaponDiversity +
