📋 About This Mod
"Greeting citizen! Your friendly Vault-Tec rep here again, and we hope the wasteland has been good to you! We've received a letter from someone claiming to be a very dear close relative of yours, insisting that you needed some extra firepower.
So we have decided to let you borrow our test models of the Alpha Railgun for awhile. Please keep in mind that this unit was still in development, so don't blame Vault-Tec if you put an eye out with it.
Your close relative even gave specific instructions on where to drop it off! You'll find the test model in your old house, along with a serious case of ammunition for it. Also, a model went missing in Vault 111, so you might be able to find one there, but we need that one back when you're done.
Now be careful with this thing, we at Vault-Tec take your safety very seriously. We'd like it back someday without a scratch on it, but you can apply a few modifications should you so desire. We reserve the right to bring it in for upgrades in the near future.
Thank you for choosing Vault-Tec!"

Description:
This mod places several instances of two unique modified miniguns known as the Alpha Railgun along with 5000 rounds of ammo each at two specific locations. This is not a blanket mod for all minigun instances, these are unique items!
Weapon 1.) Alpha Railgun V5 - the first original version, has 35 damage per shot compared to the vanilla 8 damage. Still shoots 5mm. Everything else is original specifications.
Weapon 2.) Alpha Railgun V7 Energized w/ Plasma Infusion - even better, still has 35 bullet damage but also has 20 Energy damage. Now shoots 2mm electromagnetic charge. Also, I think, I've gotten a Legendary attribute to stick to it: Plasma Infused which does energy damage.
I put this together with the FO4 branch of TES5Edit plus several hours of testing. Really it's nothing special, and we'll have much better stuff soon.

- UPDATE 12/7/16:
- Version 2. 0 is now up and adds the weapon with energy damage. It's what I was hoping to figure out how to do originally,
- just took some time and trial/error. I'm leaving the first version of the Alpha Railgun in there so the original won't
- disappear from your inventory or potentially mess up any saves. So you can go back to the weapon box locations and also
- pic up the new Energized version.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 661 endorsements and over 8k downloads
- Two distinct railgun variants give you options for different playstyles
- Generous ammo supply (5000 rounds each) means you can go wild without worrying about scarcity
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015, so it may not be compatible with newer game patches or DLC
- Damage boost is described as 'much higher' but no exact numbers, so balance could be off
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Sanctuary or Vault 111 interiors
For Fallout 4 players who want a powerful, lore-friendly-ish energy weapon without grinding for rare parts. If you're a completionist who loves unique gear, this is a quick grab. Skip if you prefer balanced, lore-strict weapons or if you're on a modded playthrough with heavy settlement overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Fast travel to Sanctuary and check the workbench or nearby containers for the weapons and ammo.
- If you're using a mod manager, install via NMM or Vortex to keep track of the files easily.
- Since the mod is old, test it early in your playthrough to ensure it doesn't crash with your other mods.
