📋 About This Mod
Adds lots more unique gear to the game with new attributes and appearances, each item of gear has been hidden around the game in different ways - planted in the world, used by existing or new unique NPCs (normally boss level), or even used in random or new encounters.
Find new schematics, craft and upgrade new gear! Does not require any other crafting mod to function, nor does this mod edit the existing workbench or it's functionality - max compatibilty!
Also adds new misc items to be found as loot or sold at stores, added using a script again for max compatibility. These items have been added primarily for crafting using the new schematics.
You will have to work to find this gear, everything has been planted in such a way that you may not aquire EVERYTHING relative to player level, skill, karma choices, game progress, visited locations, and in some cases just dumb luck!
Some of the unique gear was already programmed into the game but not actually used or even complete, I finished the job and made some objective improvements.
Some of the gear uses assets present in the original archive but not programmed into the game, I added them as new items. Most gear uses customized textures/new models to look unique to everything else. You may recognise some weapons from other mods, however they have been named and given unique stats so won't be the same. For example there is a unique Maverick named Juggernaut which packs a real punch at close range!
All of my new object effects/enchantments have been kept reasonably balanced, and some gear will be more powerful than others. Some encounters may prove to be too challenging for low level players, for instance some boss encounters are set at around lvl 12+
The new additions should not break immersion, I have tried to keep this lore-friendly while throwing in some fun easter eggs
All equipment has world objects - able to drop in the game with havok collision, and pip-boy icons.
This mod takes advantage of data from ALL DLCs and combines content for some interesting results.
