Cryolator Does Cryo Damage (optional nerf too)

If you like this mod, you'll love

Flamer Does Fire Damage.

Simply makes the Cryolator do Cryo damage. Everything below is just numbers.

If you're looking for something a little more spicy, check out Better Cryolator. It adds custom weapon mods, neat!

Or if you want the Cryolator to be more freezy freezy and less killy killy, check out Freezing Cryolator.

Finally, I know other mods exist to change the damage to Cryo, but this has two advantages:

• []It's an ESL.

  []It changes the Capsule projectile too, so it doesn't do a Cryo-Ballistic split. It's pure Cryo.

I'm not sure how this affects balance.

Here's a 'test' of me shooting companions directly with the Capsule Cryolator until they go down:

• []Dogmeat without Cryo Damage: 5 Shots.

  []Dogmeat WITH Cryo Damage: 13 Shots.

  []Cait without Cryo Damage: 5 Shots.

  []Cait WITH Cryo Damage: 2 Shots.

  I'm not sure what to make of this. Maybe animals have a higher resistance to the cold?

  The Cryolator is strange either way. Just read this excerpt taken from this Reddit post:

  Another interesting bugged weapon. This weapon along with the Gamma Gun actually led to my discovery of this bug which many weapons have. The Cryolator when upgraded to it's ballistic ranged form goes from doing one damage type to two, energy and ballistic. Interestingly enough, it also becomes AoE. Yup, that's right. Now, in a similar fashion to the Gamma Gun, the Cryolator does its damage normally when striking a surface near the target. The Cryolator lists by default with 20 energy damage and 20 ballistic damage, and this holds up. The enemy will lose 40 health when the ground is struck closely to the target.

  However, when the target is struck directly, the Energy Damage is applied twice in two separate instances. This means that the enemy will receive 20 ballistic damage, then 20 energy damage and then 20 MORE energy damage for a total of 60. This means that any upgrades to damage from perks will be even more effective as well. This is a very potentially deadly weapon when fully upgraded and maxed out with perks.

  Oh, and it also staggers on every hit. =)___________________________________________________________________________________________________

  I was curious about the discrepancies relating to this 'explosion'
