📋 About This Mod
"Funni plasma gun" -Idk anymore man
The Commonwealth Weaponry Plasma Defender, technically the redux of this one!
I return with a remastered weapon from the Institute Arsenal Overhaul, the Plasma Defender. Standalone with better attachments and stuff like that. The plasma defender has always been one of my favorites and I was disappointed there was never a plasma defender mod. The Glock 86 is sort of kind of a plasma defender, but the defender is much sleeker. But here it is, a Plasma Defender within Fallout 4.
The Plasma Defender spawns at level 15 on Brotherhood, Gunners, and Vendors.
There is a unique weapon... A quite unique weapon.
