This is a patch for Desert Eagle . 50 AE - Standalone Handgun  by Stabcops so of course that is required. I loved running around hip-firing on my many play-throughs of Fallout testing various setups. Gun of choice quite often is the Deliverer, or one of the many standalone weapons - M9, Glock 20, HK USP . 45 etc.

But ultimately all the standalone weapons feel the same, and hit the same barrier... just not enough oomph at higher levels.

My standard recourse with pistol builds has been to go laser. A maxed out laser pistol packs the same punch as a laser rifle, with longer range. Slap on a couple of legendaries and it can take on anything. But it hasn't got the feel of a ballistic handgun, blocks a lot more vision, and I don't enjoy hip-firing it anywhere near as much.   I tried various . 44 revolvers with the excellent . 44 silencer mod from 24Cell and that gave me the oomph I needed, but the action whilst semi-realistic, wasn't what I was looking for.

The guns performed significantly worse in hip-fire compared to V. A. T. S.

In the hardcore survival config I am currently testing I often face mobs from 3 competing factions at the same time, multiple legendaries and many of them are bullet sponges even though I am only up to lv65 (It is my 8th playthrough that is lv60+).

Then Stabcops uploads his excellent Desert Eagle

I could immediately see it as the foundation of a "Deliverer mk2" experience for higher levels (65+) that I had been searching for with a few caveats.

[]It needed a silencer for both the Sandman perk and my ear drums.

[]I was "honed in" on the feel/range of a Deliverer and similar pistols so some tweaks were needed.

[]The flashlight barrel is fine situationally, but most of the time I prefer the pip-boy

[]Whilst I haven't needed it yet, I am used to 19+ shot magazines so a
