Eviscerator - a perfect hybrid of Malorian 3516 and DB-2 Satara

By default, Eviscerator is a semi-auto handgun with a slightly larger recoil and slower attack speed than Malorian 3516. Each shot will fire 3 projectiles with an increased chance of knockdown and very small spread, so the weapon is still effective at mid to large range.

When you hold down the fire button to charge the weapon, it suddenly transforms into a tech shotgun. Charged shots consume 3 rounds of ammo to fire one powerful shot with increased damage and noticeable spread. Weapon can be charged both when aiming and hip-firing (like Satara).

Charged shots deal x2. 5 more damage than normal shots (and that's before other bonuses for tech weapons), so it deals 330 damage. That is less than Satara, but you can fire 3 charged shots before reloading, so that's balance it up.

Quick melee no longer deals 600% increased damage. Now, it consumes 3 rounds of ammo to apply Burning and upload Cyberware Malfunction on the enemies.

Also, Eviscerator is classified as a shotgun, so it now benefits from Body perks, rather than Cool, and any other bonuses for shotguns.

Where to find:

Eviscerator can be bought from Wilson when you're around level 33 (Tier 5) or added via CET console:

Game. AddToInventory("Items. Malorian_3516_Eviscerator", 1)

Installation:

Copy/extract the contents of the archive into the main "Cyberpunk 2077" folder.

Optional files:

Fix for inventory animation - without this, Eviscerator will use a shotgun stance animation in inventory (which looks weird), but this file changes it to a revolver stance. Why revolver stance and not handgun? This will also affect other shotguns (except double-barrel and few other) and the revolver stance actually looks pretty badass for both Malorian and shotguns.

Alternate sound - because Malorian 3616 has no sound effect for charging, Eviscerator uses Satara's SFX for charging and firing. This file changes the fire sound of Satara to the default fire sound of Malorian 3516. But be warned, it will also affect all Satara variations. Requires REDmod.

Compatibility:

The only compatibility problem I'm aware of is animation. Malorian 3516 by default has no animation for hip-fire charging, so I have to make one. Because of that, this mod won't be compatible with other mods that edit Malorian 3516 animation. The only mod that I'm aware of is Malorian Arms 3516 Alternative Ironsight Animation, but there could be more.
