🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data
Adds the M72 Gauss rifle and PPK12 Gauss pistol to Fallout 3, with classic Fallout 2 sounds and non-replacer weapons. The M76/M78 models are based on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. designs. Version 3 removes the requirement for Operation: Anchorage, making it accessible to all players. A compact weapon pack with 191 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
Adds M72 Gauss rifle and PPK12 Gauss pistol as non-replacer weapons.
Classic Fallout 2 sound effects for the new weapons.
M76/M78 models are based on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. designs.
Version 3 does not require the Operation: Anchorage DLC.
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 191 endorsements and over 5,300 downloads.
- Non-replacer design means it won't overwrite vanilla weapons, so it's safe to add to existing load orders.
- Classic FO2 sounds give it a nostalgic feel for series veterans.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2009, so it's ancient by modding standards and may have compatibility issues with newer mods or game versions.
- The S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-based models might clash with the vanilla aesthetic if you're going for a purist look.
- As a weapon pack, it's limited to just two guns—if you want a broader arsenal, this won't cover it.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 3 players who want a couple of iconic Gauss weapons with a retro sound design and don't mind dated models. It's also a good pick for those who skipped Operation: Anchorage and want these guns without the DLC. Skip if you're looking for a large weapon overhaul or modern high-poly models.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a non-replacer mod, you'll find the new weapons in your inventory or via console commands—check the mod's readme for spawn codes.
- If you're using a mod manager like FOMM, just activate the ESP and ensure it's not conflicting with other weapon mods that might use the same item IDs.
- The mod is from 2009, so if you're on a newer version of Fallout 3 (like the Steam release), you might need to use the 'ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated' tool to get textures to show up.
