CROSS_RugerMkV_NonLethalAddon

This addon requires Both Knockout Framework by Seb263 and CROSS_RugerMkV to function as intended. The addon uses a scripted soft dependency, If you are not running Knockout Framework the gun will do nothing when shooting NPCs, but it will add the new skins and attachment options to the original gun.

Quick rundown bullet points:

-The addon uses a scripted soft dependency

---The addon will run without KnockoutFramework.esm, but it is required to do any damage with the MkV-NL

-Ammo can be switched any time in the world

---Equipping the gun in pipboy mode will pop up a context menu to switch ammo

---This menu does not appear if the gun is equipped though quick keys

-Ammo and the gun itself is crafted at a chemlab

---The gun is exclusive to the chemlab, it is not added to the world or leveled lists

-Headshots deal instant damage, while bodyshot damage is delayed

-Headshots deal 4x to 10x damage

-Enemies with headgear must be shot from the correct angle

---masks cover from the front, open faced helmets cover from the rear

-Powerarmored enemies are immune to all bodyshots

---Power armor helmets can be shot off/broken, then the wearer is vulnerable to headshots

-Enemies that have recently used stimpacks are immune to knockout damage for about 7 seconds

-All skins and attachments from this addon can be used with Lethal versions of the gun

The Ruger MkV-NL adds a new and challenging way to play the game. Each magazine is a single self contained dart and Co2 cartridge, meaning you'll have to reload after each shot. The dart delivers a poison that deals damage (health bar tracks how close to KO'd they are), but will never kill a target. If a target runs out of health they instead will fall over unconscious using the Knockout Framework, from there you can loot them, wake them up, move the body, carry the body, interrogate, or finish them off. Experience is granted on knockout rather than on kill. Knocked out enemies will awaken several hours later based on Knockout Framework's settings.

Knockout damage is instant on headshots, but damage is delayed with bodyshots. Even if you successfully knock someone out with a bodyshot they may still have a chance to shoot back at you.

The poison on its own isn't very potent, and since you'll be reloading after each shot you will have to hit headshots to take full advantage of this weapon. Headshots with the MkV-NL deal 4x damage and up to 10x damage with the strongest poison. Pois
