📋 About This Mod



I always loved robots and mechs so, when I heard that fallout 4 was going to get an entire dlc on which you could fully customize your own robot it filled my heart with joy.

However, after spending some time travelling the commonwealth with my new killing machines, I felt that something more could have been done since there are no plasma weapons for robots, not to mention that at higher and late gameplay session they simply become quite inefficient against harder enemies.

I used for quite some time "Automatron - Weapons System Overhual" by Karel2015 which somehow mitigated this "problems" but, while it's a great mod, it introduced too many features which in my opinion weren't particularly logic ( or functional at all ) and, as you might know, the mod is long since abandoned and causes quite a bit of conflicts with the official Nuka-World DLC.

This mod basically does 2 things:

1) It expands the weapons and customization options at your disposal, giving you the ability to craft the following weapons/attachments:

  • []- Automatic Plasma Rifle

    []- Plasma Flamer

    []- Plasma Scattergun

    []- Plasma Sniper Rifle

    []- Hi-speed Minigun

    []- Incendiary Minigun

    []- Mr. Gutsy 44 Magnum

    []- Mr. Gutsy Auto 10mm Gun

    []- Mr. Gutsy Plasma Gun

    []- Mr. Handy Mace

    []- Mr. Handy Axe

    []- Lorenzo Artifact Gamma Gun ( only craftable if you have lorenzo artifact gamma dish in your inventory )

    []- Shoulder Mounted Gauss Rifle ( only avalaible with pieces of equipment that doesn't get in the way )

    []- Shoulder Mounted Quad Rocket Launcher

    []- Back Mounted 81 mm Heavy Mortar Launcher

    []- Back Mounted 81 mm Incendiary Mortar Launcher

    []- Back Mounted 81 mm Mortar Cluster Launcher

    []- 40 mm Grenade Launcher

    []- 40 mm Canister Shot

    []- MicroWave Emitter ( works like Tesla coils except it sets nearby enemies on fire )

    []- Explosive Shielding ( increase resistance against explosions )

    []- Kynetic Dampening Unit ( completely negates all falling damages )

    []- Cryogenic Emergency Discharge ( release a powerful cryogenic blast when robot's health drop below 10 % )

    2) It changes/reworks some aspects of the original Fallout4 and Automatron DLC which I personally feel didn't make much sense, specifically:

    []- Ahab head armor for Sentry Bots now makes melee enemies flee in panic instead of settings them on fire

    []- The regeneration field has been toned down ( the healing rate was too high, killing the purpose of stimpaks, expecially in survival experience )

    []- Removed the unstable effects from Gatling Laser and Explosives Minigun

    [*]- Change the shoulder mounted Fat Man Launcher to Fusion Core Launcher ( for lore r
