📋 About This Mod
Bear Arms v0. 050 - created by trey31, maintained by lyravega - No longer in active development
This mod adds about 22 new weapons; a light machine gun, two shotguns, new melee weapons that used to be throwables, new throwables that used to be melee weapons, ... You can find these new additions in the shops, just keep an eye open for them. Go nuts! ~~ Updated for The Following by WesleyLeonardo
-Melee weapon levels are staggered; "Crafted" weapons can be found at and over level 18, melee weapons that used to be throwables from 9 to 17, hoe and pitchfork till 9. I staggered them after looking at their damage values; I can add higher level variants later on.
Installation
-Not for just this mod, but for any game that you use mods, back your save files up first - and back the entire folder!
(you can find your saves at "...\Steam\userdata\number\239140\" folder)
-If you are not using other mods, then place the "Data3.pak" file within the archive to your game folder ("... Steam\Steamapps\Dying Light\DW\")
-If you are using other mods, place the data folder in the archive to your "... Steam\Steamapps\Dying Light\DW\Data3.pak" file
(you need a tool like WinRAR to open and manipulate .pak files the game is using; they are actually .zip files in disguise)
-Alternatively, you can use Simple Pakker to pack yourself a "Data3.pak" (just follow its instructions - but I still recommend WinRAR)
-To uninstall, remove the extracted files
Troubleshooting
-If you are playing with friends, now everyone is required to use same mods
-If you cannot join a friend, even with same mods/settings, have him send his "Data3.pak" file to you, or send yours to them; use the same file

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 1,012 endorsements and 47k downloads.
- Adds a decent variety of weapons, from guns to melee and throwables.
- Weapons are integrated into shops, so they feel like part of the world.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in May 2021 — might have compatibility issues with newer game patches.
- No detailed list of the 22 weapons, so you don't know exactly what you're getting.
- Requires you to hunt through shops to find the new gear, which might not suit players who want immediate access.
For Fallout 4 players who want more weapon variety without overhauling the game. If you enjoy discovering new gear while shopping and like mixing up your loadout with melee and throwables, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for lore-friendly or balanced additions — the description doesn't promise that.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check weapon vendors in Diamond City and Goodneighbor — they often stock new items.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts.
- Since the mod is from 2021, make sure your game is updated to a compatible version, and consider using a mod that fixes weapon mods if you run into issues.
