📋 About This Mod
For John Wick's (yeah) Malorian 3516
MODIFICATIONS:
1. Malorian 3516 now shoots explosive bullets. Its explosion area is raletively small. It's a pistol afterall, not a rocket lancher.
2. Malorian 3516 now penetrates walls AND ricochet. The game will prioritize penetrating (90% sure). Meaning if you're aiming at a enemy through a wall which can be penetrated, penetrating will happen. If you're not aiming at anyone, the bullet will ricochet.
3. Grants Malorian 3516: 2. 5 times of original DPS, 75% CritChane, 75% armor penetration and 300% CritDamage. This stats basically guarantees one-shot minions and two-shot elites (those with a skull on their heads and not a boss).
4. Deletes Malorian 3516's headshot bonus and prevent it from having any headshot bonus. I do this because any headshot while Deadeye Perk is active creates a wierd sound like "puuuuu" and I HATE THAT SOUND.
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR OWN MODIFICATIONS:
1. Find the "3516 buffed.yaml" file in my mod. It's the only file in the mod actually.
2. Open it with whatever app you use for editing .txt files, like Notepad++.
3. Now edit however you want. I believe the strings in the file are very easy to understand. Like "HeadshotDamageMultiplier" means headshot bonus.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. TweakXL: Required
2. RED4ext: Required for TweakXL
INSTALLATION:
Just vortex it please. If you had to do it manually, then
1. Install the pre-requisite mods
2. Download and decompress the mod. Drag and drop the "r6" folder to "you CP77 dictionary\Cyberpunk 2077".
3. Make sure the "3516 buffed.yaml" is in "Cyberpunk 2077\r6\tweaks".
COMPATIBILITY:
This mod is made in game version 2. 02. I guess (90% sure, again) it will still work for future versions.
PLEASE DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE!
I made this mod to my spercific needs. And I speak shitty English. So feel free to leave a comment. I promise NOT to read them xD.
This Cyberpunk 2077 mod enhances the Malorian 3516 by adding explosive bullets, wall penetration, and ricochet capabilities, along with a stat buff that makes it stronger but not overpowered. It's for players who want to turn Johnny Silverhand's iconic pistol into a more devastating crowd-control weapon.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Turns the Malorian into a room-clearing monster with explosive rounds and wall-bang potential
- Community-tested with 124 endorsements and over 4,400 downloads — people are using it
- Author explicitly balanced it to avoid making it overpowered, so it fits mid-to-late game builds
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in November 2023 — may not work with the latest Cyberpunk 2077 patches
- Explosive ammo can cause collateral damage to NPCs and vehicles, which might break stealth or trigger police
For Cyberpunk 2077 players who love Johnny's Malorian but wish it hit harder and could punch through cover. If you're doing a run-and-gun build and want to blast through walls, this is for you. Skip if you prefer a pure stealth approach or want a lore-friendly weapon overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Malorian 3516 in your inventory before installing — the mod modifies the base weapon, so you'll need to acquire it in-game first.
- Since the mod adds explosive rounds, be careful when shooting near cars or explosive containers — you might set off a chain reaction.
- If you're using other weapon overhaul mods, install this one last to avoid conflicts with stat changes.
