📋 About This Mod

The Day has come.
No longer shall guards idly play that stupid guard post animation with their finger on the trigger of a non-existent gun. This mod let's you build guards from the workshop (For caps of course, no guard works for free after all). These guards have their weapon drawn, you know, like guards should. To construct the guards, you have to be a member of the faction you're attempting to construct. Railroad guards require you to be in the Railroad, etc. etc.

Features:

  • []Let's you construct guards, of every main faction, for caps (more factions coming soon!) []They are categorized in the workshop menu under Defense > Guards > Faction []Guards will remain stationary with their weapon drawn until engaged in combat. []Guards will return to the spot they were constructed at if they are moved too far. []Guards count towards your settlement defense rating.
Currently available Factions:
  • []Brotherhood of Steel - Complete the Quest "Call to Arms" []Minutemen - Complete the Quest "The First Step" []Institute - Complete the Quest "Institutionalized" []Railroad - Complete the Quest "Tradecraft" []Lyon's Pride - No Requirements []Atom Cats - Complete the Misc. Quest "Atom Cats" []Enclave - No Requirements
Known Issues:
  • []Guards placed at a certain height may phase through the surface they are standing on upon loading into the cell. []Guard prices are listed wrong if you have more than 100k caps. This is an engine limitation, not anything I can fix.
  • Guards will sometimes rotate in position upon fast travel to the cell.
Future Stuff: I intend on adding more factions as fast as I am able. A lot of factions exist in this game and it will take a significant amount of time to implement them.

Xbox One Version is now available!

Frequently Asked Questions: Q: I bet these questions aren't even frequently asked! A: That's not a question, next.

Q: Will you be adding X faction or Y faction A: I plan on adding every faction that I personally find relevant. Some small factions will be represented and some won't. Adding a faction, while not entirely dif
