📋 About This Mod
-
[]Warning: I recommend this mod to be added to a new game only if not it may break your weapons and maybe other things because of new form ids and the amount of content. If you ignore this and it breaks your save I am not helping you fix it. This is just a general disclaimer it really shouldn't break anything but weapons and if you decide to use it you can fix the broken weapons by modifing them at a workbench and they will be fine.
General Information:
This mod compiles parts of many weapon attachment mods across the nexus to achieve better variety, load order, and compatibility. I have spent many hours researching, testing mods, messaging, fixing errors, creating, and learning - This is what I came up with.
-Mod includes many new attachments created by various modders
-Better Customization of the vanilla and DLC weapons
-A few material swaps
-Improved meshes
-Various fixes
-Balanced in a vanilla way
Detailed Information:
Vanilla Changes:
Fire Modes:
- [
[]Added Fanning, Double Action, and vanilla Single Action Fire Modes for all Revolvers.
-
[]You now choose ammo separate from receivers and only ammo that makes sense for the weapon e.g The hunting rifle can be re-chambered with . 38, 7. 62, 5. 56, . 50 Cal, . 45-70, and of course . 308 but can't be re-chambered with shotgun shells cause that is just unrealistic
[]Ammo effects have been added as an option so you can pick an effect with whatever ammo you choose. These include Incendiary, Cryo, Explosive, Plasma-Infused, Match-Grade Rounds, Poison, Irradiated, Pulse, Shock, Hollow-Point, and Armor Piercing
[]New Missile Launcher missiles have been added such as Mini-Missiles, Nuke, Napalm, Plasma, Cryo, Pulse, and many more
[]Some new ammo types such as Tracer rounds and Laser effects for laser weapons
[]Includes built in Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch fixes making it compatible (2. 1. 0)
[]Changed Cryolator damage to Cryo instead of Energy
[]Many mods had their damage as Energy and have been changed to an appropriate one like the Heating Coil now does Fire Damage etc
[*]Changed some Reflex Sights names to include

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement-to-download ratio (681 endorsements on 23k downloads) shows real community approval.
- Adds meaningful variety to weapon attachments, which is a core appeal for Fallout 4 modders.
- Still relevant despite the 2020 update—plenty of players have it in their load orders.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest game patches or newer mods.
- Relies on other mods and resources, meaning you'll need to track down dependencies yourself.
For Fallout 4 players who want more weapon attachment options without overhauling the entire game. If you're into gun mods and don't mind managing a few extra dependencies, this is worth a look. Skip if you prefer all-in-one overhauls or play on the latest version and worry about compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's description page for a list of required mods and resources, as it depends on them.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle the dependencies and load order more easily.
- If you're on a newer game version, test the mod early in your playthrough to catch any conflicts.
