📋 About This Mod
What does this do?
DegenerateDak's Shoulder Mounted Machinegun (M2) is a fun mod, but unfortunately out of the box it doesn't work if you are also using True Damage. Unless you want your SMMG doing over 1200 damage, that is. This mod fixes that incompatibility unintrusively.
The only change is removing the keyword NoRicochet and replacing it with WeaponTypeBallistic to properly invoke the weapon damage scaling from True Damage. You could very easily do it yourself with FO4Edit but I offer this mod as an alternative to those who can't be bothered. Compatibility should be completely unchanged.
I offer two files, of which you should install only one:
-
[]The main file, which only requires the original SMMG mod
[
]A file compatible with SMMG patch in DankRafft's Lore-Friendly Weapons ProjectCredits
Absolutely all credit to DegenerateDak for the original weapon and to eclix for True Damage, a mod excellent enough to get me into baby's first game modding. Additional credit to DankRafft for LFWP
A single-line patch that fixes Dak's Shoulder Mounted Machinegun (M2) dealing excessive damage when used with the True Damage mod. Essential for players using both mods, ensuring balanced combat. Simple install, minimal impact.
