📋 About This Mod
As seen on Mikeburnfire!
C. R. A. P. Adds Rusty versions of most ballistic weapons to the leveled lists to supplement or with the optional NOPIPEGUN version that completely replaces pipe guns. These rusty weapons do less damage, are slower, are less accurate, and sometimes hold less ammo then their regular counterparts. You to clean the rusty weapons at a chemistry workbench with a rare crafting item (Rust Remover). Also there is a vendor at the rotten landfill that sells the weapons
if you want to know where to just find a stash of rust remover and all the rusty weapons in one spot check here:

Weapon jamming is sadly not included but I do recommend JD's Weapon Overheating in the stead of integrated weapon jamming from this mod
QUEST: Find a note at the red rocket where you find dog meat to start a quest to get one of the 4 uniques
Midnight Special
BELOW REQUIRES THE DLC ALL IN ONE PACK
People's Resistance Rifle
Marshal's Rifle
Project U-235
Some of these weapons are slightly more powerful than pipe weapons so it may make some enemies harder.
The more weapon mods you have that add new weapons to the leveled lists the rarer rusty weapons will be.
Compatible with all right handed animation replacers.
With the Nuka World DLC addon the sound sometimes bugs out on an automatic rusty handmade, should fix itself with a restart of the game.
!!! When de-rusting weapons at a chem bench the modifications you've applied to the rusty weapons will be removed or randomized when turned into a regular weapon. THIS WILL APPLY TO UNIQUES OR LEGENDARIES THAT HAVE SPAWNED AS RUSTY !!!
Some unique weapons or vendor weapons spawn with specific attachments, this means that rusty weapons may spawn with pipe gun attachments.
leveled lists may be funky, testing different weapon mods to see which I should patch for.
