📋 About This Mod
Accurate Assault Rifles 1. 2 - By Crotalus -------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This plugin decreases the bullet spread of all assault rifles, both American and Chinese versions, as well as the unique assault rifles. Assault rifles are more accurate than the SMG, but less accurate than precision rifles. You\'ll have an easier time hitting your opponents at a longer distance, but they will too. Assault rifles are now much more useful in medium range combat situations. -------------------------------------------------------------- Installation: 1. Extract the AccurateAssaultRifles 1. 2.esp into your Fallout 3/Data folder. 2. On the launch menu, go to Data Files and check AccurateAssaultRifles 1. 2.esp -------------------------------------------------------------- Uninstall: 1. Remove AccurateAssaultRifles 1. 2.esp from your Fallout 3/Data folder. -------------------------------------------------------------- Compatibility: This plugin only edits the weapon\'s bullet spread values. It should have no problems with texture, sound, or any other media replacements. If any problems arise, feel free to contact me at Fallout 3 Nexus. -------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks To: Timeslip for FOMM, ScripterRon for the Archive Tool, and everyone at the Bethesda forums. -------------------------------------------------------------- Licensing: Do whatever you like, short of releasing this file under a different author. -------------------------------------------------------------- Changes: 1. 1 to 1. 2 - The bullet spread for the unique American assault rifle, Wanda, has been decreased to the same level as the regular American assault rifle. Before, the bullet spread for Wanda was unchanged. 1. 0 to 1. 1 - Bullet spread of Chinese assault rifle slightly increased to compensate for its larger damage over the American assault rifle. The Chinese assault rifle\'s bullet spread is still better than it used to be. --------------------------------------------------------------
