📋 About This Mod

COMBAT RIFLE OVERHAUL

It's finally here.

Ever wondered the niche vanilla weapon combat rifle felt a little bit off? Recycled from the combat shotgun, using hunting rifles barrels and magazines. And using . 45, a pistol cartridge? Well here's the solution, and with lot's of options.

---IMPORTANT NOTES---

• Have this mod at the bottom in your load order. This mod replaces many assets of the combat rifle and combat shotgun, therefore it will conflict with every mod that even slightly touches combat rifle or combat shotgun, excluding texture mods. So to avoid any conflicts, load this mod last.

• This mod doesn't add a new weapon and you don't need a new playthrough. New modifications just replaces repeatative vanilla modifications, so even if you have thousands of combat rifles they won't appear broken. There some new mod categories though, like buttstocks, which you will have to build/buy/find.

• This mod doesn't use a leveled list injector script. It only changes the contents of the leveled list of combat rifle, so it won't conflict with other weapons leveled list injections.

• If some mod categories don't appear in weaponbench, try exiting the bench and equiping the gun, then reenter the bench and they should show up. This is a bug, not a feature.

---NEW VERSION 1. 1. 2---

What's new with 1. 1. 2 Update.
