📋 About This Mod
Please visit us on Discord:
Fixes the condition of dead NPC not dropping their weapon upon death due to a mod changing iDeathDropWeaponChance. Many undropped weapons have their components go into an exploded view upon death too. Restores vanilla FO4 setting of FormID 0001A23C, iDeathDropWeaponChance to 100.
** No other mod is required. There just happens to be one example linked.
This mod must load below any mod which forces NPC to not drop a weapon by changing the above value.
Verify using vanilla settings will not break the original mod which changes the setting.
Do not run this mod with another mod which uses this setting as the primary function of the mod.
