📋 About This Mod
Assault Rifle Variants Version 1 By JER01 This mod adds variants of both the American and the Chinese Assault rifle to the Capital Wasteland. The Variants all have their own meshes and have been added to leveled lists etc. The unique American assault rifle, Wanda, which was cut from the final game, has also been added. This also has a unique model and is somewhere in the wasteland. (Read the README). The Unique Chinese assault rifle, Xuanlong, is still in its original location, albeit with a new mesh. The variants are repairable with their parent assault rifle and variants of it, with the exception of the Chinese assault flamer, which is repairable with the normal flamer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Variants American Assault Rifle -10mm SMG -10mm Silenced SMG -Marksman Rifle -Wanda Chinese Assault Rifle -Carbine -Support Weapon -Assault Flamer -Xuanlong ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements ROGUE HALLOW\'S IRON SIGHTS mod - http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/6938 Looks best with C13Sektors Retexture of the Chinese AR -http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/2887 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please report any bugs to JER01 on the Nexus Forums http://thenexusforums.com Or on fallout3nexus download page for this file.

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013 – may have compatibility issues with modern mod setups
For Fallout 3 players who want more variety in their assault rifles without overhauling the whole game. If you're a collector of weapon mods or just tired of the same two rifles, this adds some spice. Skip if you're looking for lore-friendly or balanced additions – the description doesn't promise either.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, use a mod manager like FOMM to avoid overwriting files manually.
- Check if the mod requires the ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated – if so, enable it to see the new textures.
- Load order matters: place this mod after any weapon overhaul mods to ensure its variants appear.
