📋 About This Mod
ABOUT
An unofficial update to GrilledTurkey's Capital Wasteland Hunting Rifle mod that contains a number of adjustments, bug fixes, tweaks, and more.
FEATURES
-
[]Renamed weapon to . 32 Hunting Rifle.
[
]Balance adjustments:[]Reduced damage from 37 to 25. (This was done to match the damage of the hunting rifle from Fallout 3.)
[]Increased Paciencia base damage from 37 to 40. (This was done to match the +3 damage increase in Fallout: New Vegas)
[]Changed Paciencia's custom legendary effect to Lucky.
[]Buffed the Paciencia stock to function like a vanilla recoil-compensating stock.
[]Changed ammo to use . 32 caliber rounds from Munitions.
[]Brand new leveled list injection- weapon will appear on raiders, raider bosses, Railroad agents, Triggermen, Minutemen, bosses, vendors, and as legendary drops starting at level 3. This also fixes an issue in the original mod where Super Mutants could spawn with the weapon but could not use it due to a lack of animations.
[]Stocks and magazines can now be added/removed between . 32 hunting rifles and Paciencia.
[]Weapons in the world now have a chance of spawning with a random paint/finish.
[]Weapon paints/finishes now require materials to craft.
[]Renamed the Maintained Stock to Marksman's Stock and adjusted the crafting recipe and attachment stats accordingly.
[]Added Marksman's Stock to modcols so it will appear on weapons found in the world.
[]Adjusted a small handful of names and descriptions to match the vanilla game's naming conventions + other Capital Wasteland weapon mod naming conventions.
[]Added an optional file that changes the ammo type from . 32 caliber to . 30 caliber rounds. Also increases base damage from 25 to 27. Requires Munitions 1. 1+.
Due to the new leveled list injection added by this mod, a new save is recommended so that the weapon isn't added twice into your game.REQUIREMENTS
