📋 About This Mod
Increases damage and adjusts stats for mods like weight and fire rate.
The vanilla hunting rifle is a weird weapon. For one, the bolt handle is on the left side, which in reality would be very awkward for the majority of people to work; it functions as a low to mid tier long range weapon and loses its effectiveness late in the game. I sought to change that with this mod.
Version 1. 2 -. 50 reciever damage modifier increased to 3. . 50 BMG packs a whole lot of energy IRL and this should give the hunting rifle ample late game potential.
Version 1. 1a -base damage increased to 60. I felt this was logical as the popular Weapon Balance Overhaul increases the damage to 62. (You can find that here, its an excellent mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2463/? ) -base fire rate adjusted on recievers. All receivers (except the heavy reciever) have a minimum 25% fire rate increase. Calibrated variants have a 50% increase. -weights for mods and base weapon adjusted, should provide a more realistic weight. A long barreled rifle with full stock, standard reciever, and medium mag weighs 7. 5 pounds for instance. -no range reduction for compensator and muzzle brakes now.
Please notify me for anything that feels OP or unbalanced.
