21. 12. 01 Update - See sticky post for details.
Gmoi6 is creating some of the best modeling and texture content on Nexus. I could never improve that kind of work but I can adjust some things in xEdit to make those weapons more playable.
Zapgun
I only made leveled list changes to the Zap Gun. It has 5 leveled list so I'm not going to explain each one.
Here's what I do in general terms:
- Remove items from very specific lists.
- Move or keep items on broader lists used by more characters.
- There are no drastic changes here but the weapons feel better dispersed.
Makeshift Shotgun
Load below Equilibrium weapons or other weapon component mods.
My low level character trekked to Diamond city to encounter the sounds of a small nuclear war. I didn't really want to leave the safety of Hangman's Alley. Both DC guards and Raiders had the Little Feller. The Muties were reduced to paste. My character was not pleased to get shot in the head with such a powerful weapon. So here are some improvements for the grandness made up of the Makeshift Shotgun, Grenade Launcher, and Little Feller.
Spawn Levels:
- Makeshift Shotgun - 2
- Explosive Ammo - 5
- Grenade Launcher - 13
- Little Feller - 17
- The Party Starter may spawn as a Little Feller. It it does, just remove the Rocket Launcher muzzle at a workbench.
Leveled Lists:
ammoslugexpl_LLinject
The explosive ammo is available a level 5 randomly and vendors. Players can start stocking up before they have the weapon.
LL_Shotgun_Makeshift
This leveled list for the Makeshift Shotgun now gives a 1 in 8 chance for either the Improvised Grenade Launcher or Little Feller to spawn. The standard Makeshift shotgun has a 6 in 8 chance of spawning. This LL is used on DoubleBarrelShotgun, HandmadeGun, Legendaries, and Vendors. No faction is given these directly but rath

For Fallout 4 players who love Gmoi6's weapon mods but want them to feel like part of the world instead of just crafting-only items. Skip if you don't use those weapon mods or prefer to keep leveled lists vanilla.
💡 Beginner Tips
