📋 About This Mod
Moderator Edit <- What? What was edited? I\'m confused... After making the Pitthouse, (a player home in the Pitt) I liked the idea of making a home for players in the DLC areas were Bethesda has neglected to provide a safe home for players. Thus, the Point Lookout Shack. Its a small shack, with two new weapons, some backstory via holotapes about a feud with the Grower family and a nice place to relax or roleplay a hillbilly. Nice location, atmosphere, appearance, blends in seamlessly. The shack is very close to Growers Shack, and I\'m pretty sure its NW of Blackall Manor. The first new weapon is The Gut Spreader, a heavily modified Double Barreled Shotgun. The Gut Spreader is better all round, but its big difference is that it can fire twice per reload, instead of once. Now I\'m no gun expert, in fact I barely know anything about them (Gun\'s need to have licenses which are very hard to get in Australia) but I assume this is possible -Confirmed. Most double barrels act this way, but the one Beth made the triggers were both pulled at the same time. Thank you Franny Boy!) The second weapon is the Rednecks Friend, a more powerful . 32 Pistol. I hated the . 32 pistol, because there was no point to it when you started with a 10mm pistol, so now there is a useful version of it. Have a look at the pictures for an overview of the shack. The atmoshpere is meant to fit in with the swamp feel of PL, so no high tech water purfiers etc to be found. Sorry =( Installation: Copy or move the .esp to C:/Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Fallout 3/Data and then activate it before starting up the game. Rights: Anyone can use this in their work, as long as I\'m notified.
