📋 About This Mod
The Cryolator is already an awesome weapon, but I thought it could use a little bigger punch, especially regarding the energy resistances in higher difficulties than normal. So i added 5 points of damage, doubled the ammo capacity and changed its damage type into cryo. Should be compatible with any mod that does not especially alter the Cryolator file, so custom weapon mods for it, or similar mods, should work without problems.
update v. 1. 1: now has a new Barrel craftable at any weaponmod station. Reduces damage but greatly increases range and ammo capacity. Also changes used ammo to flamer fuel.
update v. 1. 2: high pressure nozzles added => no need to mod your gun to a pellet thrower for exceptional damage.
*update v. 1. 3: I want to thank everyone for over 2000 unique DL's! To ensure that this one remains the 'Coolest' Cryolator mod out here, I added the all new Zero K Prisma Barrel that turns the Cryolator into a Long Range freezing death machine.
